High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! XP-819 was an engineering exercise, developed in the mid 1960's, to test a rear engine concept for the Chevrolet Corvette. The body was designed by Larry Shinoda, designer of the 1963 Sting Ray Split Window Coupe and the CERV-1. There are styling cues in XP-819 that later appeared in Shinoda's famed 1968 "Sting Ray" design. A GM marine, reverse rotation engine was factory-installed in the car, so the two-speed transaxle would operate properly. The entire chassis, suspension, and steering are custom made components unique to this car. Some of these parts also found their way to later production cars. The XP-819 nearly suffered the fate of many factory experimental vehicles crushing! However, racer & performance driver Smokey Yunick requested this car as a basis for a new race car design. Smokey never completed the racer & later sold the XP-819 to some Corvette enthusiasts.
