| Plymouth 426 Hemi Cuda EngineThe mighty 426 Hemi engine was arguably the most feared and legendary power plant to appear in the muscle car era. Available only until 1971, emissions standards forced it into obsolescence; it possessed an astonishing 425 hp with 490 foot-pounds of torque. Standard on the Hemi Cuda was a shaker fully functional air scoop. Aptly named as it was mounted directly to the engine - poking up through a hole in the hood and thus shook when the engine did. The relatively high cost of the Hemi engine option, nearly a third of the base model cost, meant low production numbers. Today the rarity of these cars with Hemi engines and collector interest in them has commanded incredible price appreciation with private sales reportedly occurring at over a million dollars. 1/6 Scale. Skill Level 2-requires glue (not included). RMX851442 - $34.95 $29.75
| Corvette 327 Fuel Injected EngineThe hottest engine set-up for the mid-sixties Corvette® was the L84 327 cubic inch small block V8 with the Rochester constant flow fuel injection unit. Originally appearing in the 1957 models, the fuelie was refined to the point where small blocks so equipped were developing 375 horsepower by 1964. Because of its steep $538 cost it was rare to see a Vette® that had the "Fuel Injection" emblem on its fenders, but those that did could go from 0 to 60 in just 6.3 seconds. Pre-painted parts in authentic factory colors. Beautifully dressed with plenty of chrome including gas lines, linkage hoses, sparkplug boots, and wiring harness. Vinyl spark plug wires. Exquisitely detailed engine components such as the alternator, distributor, venturi, and water pump. Rotating fan via rubber belt. Meticulously detailed Corvette® valve and plenum covers. Black painted die cast metal engine stand. Molded diplay base with authentic Corvette® logos. Illustrated assembly guide. 1/6 Scale. Skill Level 2-requires glue (not included).
