When the crankshaft broke on Gary Laughlin’s Ferrari Monza he had had enough. Being the owner of several Chevrolet dealers, he turned to Peter Coltrin to have a few rebodied. Fortunately, they pursued Sergio Scaglietti who made three fastback coupes on the Corvette chassis. The Scaglietti Corvette didn’t have the fit and finish Laughlin was looking for, but the design did shave 400 lbs of weight of a standard Corvette. It also caught the attention of Car Life and appeared in Road & Track for their March 1961 issue.
