MFH for October

Definitely a 50's car. Notice the use of a generator instead of an alternator. True enough GM phased out generators in the early sixties but this engine is 1950's.

I'm also thinking Cunningham. And does the introduction of a small-block Chevy engine open it up for Chapparals and maybe more Can-Am and Trans-Am cars?

late 50s corvette engine for sure
283 dual four barrel carbs
except for the valve covers and clutch on the fan looks identical
and has the shielding for the sparkplugs

The Cunningham that ran at LeMan in 1960 was a Fuelie no carbs. At least in pictures I saw. It looks super cool though. If its a Corvette i better save up some money!

I still want some Can-Am cars! Although, I’m pretty sure this isn’t one of them.

Well how about the 70th anniversary

1953 racing corvette that was blue and red?

I wanted the 1957 SS and 1963 GS and a 1976 Greenwood LM of the older cars. The rest I can live without in 1/12th scale. 1953 was a straight 6.

Looks to be stock front C1 Corvette suspension, but frame rails look different than stock.
I believe the Cunninghams only ran fuel injection
I thought maybe a Lister Chevrolet, but they used different front suspension.
Are there any other marques in the sixties that used Chevrolet engines like the Lister?

ISO/Bizzarini but it is not that.
