Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z06
Although you can buy the Stingray with the Z06 package today, this model started in 1963 as a special order version. And for decades after that, Chevrolet didn’t use that nameplate again. The 1963 Stingray Z06 was a one-year model with several distinct features, making it so sought-after today (via Motor Trend).

The Stingray Z06 had racing in mind and came with unique suspension, more powerful engines, less weight, and a big 36-gallon fuel tank for endurance racing. This was the perfect basis if you wanted to race a new Corvette in 1963.
