The 1967 Autopia Mark VII is the iconic, Corvette-inspired ride car designed by Disney Imagineer Bob Gurr that entertained millions of visitors at Disneyland for over three decades. Introduced in 1967 for Disneyland's New Tomorrowland and Fantasyland,  the car featured a front end styled after a Corvette Stingray and a rear inspired by an Opel GT.  Even though Disney rarely sells park equipment, a few surviving fiberglass bodies found their way to private collectors.  Superfan Peter Menotti famously purchased an authentic Mark VII body and spent over a decade fabricating a custom chassis, 3D-printing small details, and installing a period-accurate 8.5-hp engine to drive his own fully functional street version around Southern California.
