Although you might think that fuel injection is a recent technology, it was being developed way back in the 1950s. The fuel-injection technology was termed the “RamJet” system and it introduced a whole new level of performance to the Corvette line. The beautiful styling of the car was unlike anything else that was on the road at the time. The fuel-injected engine option was capable of producing 283 horsepower from a 283 cubic inch (4.6L) V8 engine (via Hot Cars).

The fuel-injected Corvette had all of the beauty of the other models and continued with the excellent reputation of the car. From the interior to the exterior every inch of the car was excellent, and it still looks great today. The four-speed manual transmission and heavy-duty racing suspension made this Corvette feel like a thrilling ride every time you got behind the wheel of it. This is still one of the most highly sought-after Corvette models on the road.
