After grabbing this year’s desirable Riddler street rod award at the 2008 Detroit Autorama, the owners of the car, Tim Divers from Divers Street Rods and Mike Warn, decided to depart with the Ferrambo and put it up for sale on GP Imports. Although there’s no specific asking price, we gather that this one-of-a-kind street rod isn’t won’t come cheap. 

The Ferrambo was created by combining a custom-made body from 1960 Nash Rambler Wagon with a rear-mounted 3.6-liter V8 engine matted to a 6-speed manual gearbox that came out of a 2002 Ferrari 360 Modena Donor car. Tim Divers and Mike Warn also completely overhauled the Rambler’s interior giving it a Ferrari-look. Other modifications include the Ferrari Unequal Wishbone front and rear suspension, the one-off machined 18×8.5 front and 20×10 rear wheels and an ultra cool custom luggage style trunk under the hood.

Blue Fusion is the latest company to join in on the latest trend here in the States of re-bodying new Corvettes to look like the second generation model of the 1960s. Dubbed the Rossi 66, Blue Fusion’s Corvette will use the current C6/Z06/ZR1 platform and dress it with a body that mimics the lines of the 1966 C2 split window ‘Vette. Or at least that’s what Blue Fusion supports as the only year that the split window made its appearance on the C2 Corvette was in 1963 – talk about a big booboo.

Model-Year blunder aside, the first production version of the Rossi 66 will be displayed at the SEMA 2008 in Las Vegas this fall. The car will be built to order at he company’s facilities from a new C6, a C6/Z06/ZR1 or a customer supplied C6 donor chassis. Along with the coupe version, Blue Fusion says that it is also preparing a fully functioning convertible and various stages of Sport and Competition versions that will include a GT2 class type for full on-track racing applications.
