Fuel-Injected 283 Corvette Engine
The Most Extraordinary Automotive Showpiece Ever!

There is a legend behind this 1/6 cutaway model of the '57 Corvette engine. When The Franklin Mint issued it in February, 1992, a die-hard Corvette fan found some slight fault with it. He wrote and called
and hounded the executives at Chevrolet until they cried "uncle" and asked FM to withdraw the replica. We can't say that this is a true story, but the engine is EXTEREMELY rare. It's details are excellent, from the working dipstick to the pistons that move when you turn the fan, fanbelt and generator assembly.
