"If looks were everything, the “Spirit of America” would be a hands-down winner. Despite its groundbreaking wide-body design, considered by some to be the first true silhouette racer, there is much more to appreciate. To compete against the best in the world at Le Mans and the IMSA series, John Greenwood gave this ‘Vette more gusto under the hood than was ever conceived before. The 7.7-liter 467-cubic-inch big block puts out horsepower. That was enough for speeds around 215 mph down the Mulsanne Straight and garnered a win at its debut at Road Atlanta. The #76, so numbered to celebrate America’s bicentennial, is possibly one of the world’s best-known Corvettes in history and was deemed the “Monster Corvette” when it made an appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It’s an engineering masterpiece in all regards, and it’s all yours."—Official description
