CODE NAME ZERV

CODE NAME ZERV

CODE NAME ZERV

Whenever a company starts a new project, it is common to give it a code name. This allows the KEY staff inside the company to be able to talk about it without giving away what they are working on.

The development of a new car can take many years, keeping these projects a secret is extremely important.

This is especially true when you are changing the location of the engine in a car as iconic as the Corvette.

In the case of the newly transformed C8 Corvette, GM code named it ZERV. At first you may get this confused with PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle), a common acronym seen on the back of cars today. It is in fact, to have a very meaningful origin based on the CERV protypes from the 50’ and 60’s and again in the 80’s.

CERV stood for Chevrolet Engineering Research Vehicle. It is assumed the ZERV stands for Zora Engineering Research Vehicle, a huge nod to the “Father of the Corvette,” Zora Arkus-Duntov, and to his early Mid-Engine concept vehicles.

1963 Frame Off Restored Tuxedo Black SWC

What Mike likes about this car:
“For the past 38 years one of the most asked questions relating to Corvettes is do you have any split window Corvette’s? In reply I always ask; do you know what year a split window is? Most of the time they guess wrong. The term split window is definitely iconic when it comes to the Corvette. I guess that’s why they are so collectible! This black on black split window is one of the most sought after of all the color combinations for 1963. The 340 horsepower plant is second only to the fuel injected version, also offered that year. This car came to us from a very important client in Texas. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this car!”

This very correct frame-off restored S.W.C. features a #’s matching 327/340hp engine mated to a 4-speed transmission.

This is the most desirable drivetrain combo (in our opinion), and the rarest and best color combination!
