Anteros Steals Corvette Body Platform

AnterosAt November’s Los Angeles Auto Show, n2a Motors Inc. unveiled their latest model, the Anteros. The body style of this vehicle is rather unique, and takes on characteristics of multiple foreign produced vehicles. What makes this vehicle rather stunning is to know that it’s built directly off of a 2009 Corvette platform!

This month marked the initial beginning of Anteros deliveries to be shipped to their eager awaiting owners. The vehicle takes up to 12 weeks to build, and comes straight from a Corvette body. In fact, the first step requires the body panels of the Corvette to be removed before installing the Anteros’ special carbon-composite body! Installing this carbon-composite framework is a process indeed, taking up to 800 hours to complete!

Feel free to access the Anteros website by clicking here. Would you buy a $154,000 Anteros when you can purchase a 2009 Corvette?

ZR1 Chassis to be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson

ZR1 ChassisBarrett-Jackson is a collector car auction, which originated over 30 years ago. It has come to be known worldwide as “The Greatest Car Show on Earth.” People from all over the world come to Scottsdale, Arizona to bid on collector cars, some of which are so vintage that only limited quantities were ever produced. In recent years, the automobile auction has opened its doors, and has begun to auction off boats, rock and roll collector items, and other timeless material.

The auction this year is set to begin on Sunday, January 11th and last an entire week until January 18th. Along with the numerous vehicles that are set to roll on and off the auction block, General Motors has included a 2009 Corvette ZR1 chassis to the list. This semi-constructed GM vehicle does not include any certificate of title nor any licensing agreements. The chassis comes only with a guaranteed bill of sale, and is not to be driven on public streets!

It sounds a bit rare to be buying a chassis of a vehicle; however, two other chassis will also be auctioned off. They include a 2004 GM Kappa chassis which outlines the Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky, as well as a 1931 Oldsmobile chassis.

With the week of Barrett-Jackson quickly approaching, be sure to check out the complete listing of vehicles which will appear that week. You can do so by clicking below. And, if you just so happen to be interested in purchasing a chassis… the Corvette ZR1 is your BEST option by far!
