Corvette Go DIY

Filed under: used car parts — admin @ 7:06 am

American car manufacturers Corvette are offering buyers the chance to hand assemble the engine that will go into their car.

The optional extra with a difference, which will add £3,860 to your bill is being pioneered by the firm at its Wixom, Michigan plant.

Once the engine is completed buyers get the chance to mount a customisable plaque on the engine so they can remember their day.

The company who were the first American sports car manufacturers to celebrate a 50 year anniversary believe that they are the first in the world to offer this to customers.

Tom Stephens, Vice Chairman of Global Product Operations said:

“In a way, this is a dream program for a Corvette customer. I would have jumped at the chance to build the 427 in my ’67 ’Vette, and that didn’t have half of what goes into one of these modern precision engines,”
