1960 corvette fuel injected aluminum head test car
In the summer of 1959 GM cast aluminum heads designated for there 1960 Fuel injected cars.
The heads where to save 53lbs and add 25hp to raise the 250hp hydraulic motor to 275 and the
solid lifter from 290hp to 315hp.
when the test cars where taking to the Proving grounds the heads where cracking and warping
and were scratched as a RPO from the Corvette available options.
Here one is the very first aluminum head v8 test car.Vin number 00002.
Serial number 00001 was not a aluminum head car,but was fuel injected and sold at Mecums
a few years back with buyers fee at over 300K.
This car is a project but has matching number CZ block,Aluminum heads,7017320 Fuel Injection
unit,crank and rods,oil pan etc.
All glass is date code correct as is radiator.
Two tops.
Needs complete restoration.

(53 corvette,63 Split Windows,65 396/425hp,^& Corvettes,1967 Shelby or 68 GT500 or GT350)
may consider others?
