Wampa-One ◊ 2007-09-06 16:23	This is the 1959 XP-87 Stingray racer created by Bill Mitchell. It was a one-of-a kind concept car also used for SCCA racing which would go on to provide the basis for the second generation 1963-67 Corvette styling. This is quite an interesting vehicle, with an interesting story to go along with it. I’m not sure that it should be listed as model year 1959 though, since that could be confusing as it is not technically a 1959 production vehicle. Also, since it was based on the chassis of one of Zora Arkus-Duntov’s defunct 1957 Corvette SS test mules, the argument could also be made that it should be labeled as 1957. Maybe it would be simpler if it were just listed as “Chevrolet Corvette”. This particular car has it’s own Wikipedia page... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvette_Stingray_%28Concept_car%29 And any number of other external links... http://www.corvettevalley.com/showthread.php?t=6525 http://www.welovecorvettes.com/concept.html http://www.diecastfast.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=DCF/CTGY/RV59SR http://www.corvettemuseum.com/library-archives/hof/mitchell.shtml

Call it the Mitchell Stingray or XP87 Looks as much like a production Corvette as a Cubic Zerconia looks like a real diamond
