DISCONTINUED 12/31/04. The "Little Red Corvette", from the song Prince made famous, has finally shown up for our edification... from Danbury !!!! That's not the only surprise.... it's really nice...finished in an appropriate Roman Red with a truly complete (even down to the seatbelts) black interior, this Vette has great attention to detail. It's a rare Fuel Injected 327 (first year of the 327) and comes fully equipped with a 4 speed trans, full-pop wheel covers (aluminum knock offs were still a year away), narrowband whitewalls, full suspension, operating sunvisors, a spare tire concealed by the rubber mat trunk trim (but removeable in a manner exactly like the prototype), and an antenna which raises and lowers at your touch. Wipers and emblems are photo-etched, and all the chrome trim is present and accurately accounted for. As if that weren't enough, the accessory removable hardtop comes packed away in its own pocket atop the Styrofoam carrier which housed the car during shipment/transport. This is a well thought out model which captures the essence of this "forgotten" Vette. Minor nits are the shape of the decklid and the fit of the rear quarter windows on the hardtop. Both of these are easily overlooked when you take a look at how this baby sits on your shelf. It should be interesting to see if FM comes out with a ‘62 of their own; that could be quite a show. If you're into 'Vettes, this red job is an absolute MUST HAVE. Indeed, it's one of the nicest Vettes to come down the pike in a long, long time!!!! The issue price is $109 + $5.80 S&H.
