Too much Corvettes for today? I don't think anyone is going to complain about that! Especially if we're talking about a classic 1967 Corvette Sting Ray. C2 Corvettes are really gaining popularity among collectors. And they are now regularly passing the millions dollars bar at auction events. But this particular model achieved a mind blowing $3.2million last September. So what makes it so unique and so desirable?

Well this is not any C2 Vette, it's the L88 variant of which only 20 were ever built. Besides, this Marlboro Maroon example was the winner of the ’67 NHRA A/Sports Nationals at Indianapolis. The pictures below are the testimony of how well-cared for and how beautiful this car is.

In this week's episode, Jay Leno reviews the Rossi Sixty Six, a custom built machine based on the Corvette C6 chassis. The Rossi Sixty Six has one radically re-imagined body that clearly borrows some design cues from the 1966 Corvette C2 as its name suggests. The Rossi Sixty Six doesn't look as good as the original Corvette C2, but it's an interesting modernized version of the beautiful muscle car from the sixties.
