1960 Chevrolet Corvette â VIN Sequence 0002: A Rare Test Legend This second-off-the-line 1960 Corvette is no ordinary classic-it's a pilot car believed to have tested GM's experimental aluminum heads with Rochester fuel injection. Built in September 1959 at St. Louis, this fuelie rarity sports a 283 V8 with lightweight heads that never hit production, a project tied to Zora Arkus-Duntov's performance vision. After component testing, GM sold it to Rochester Products engineer Bill Anderson in Rochester, New York, home of the Ramjet fuel injection system. In 1970, 16-year-old Dana Kuhl snagged it on his birthday for $900, making it a teenage dream turned automotive treasure, this gem stands as a possible missing link in Corvette's racing and engineering legacy. There's something fantastic about having a car from very early in a series, and this 1960 Corvette is just that. Bearing Serial No. 2, this Corvette comes with the original frame with chassis number present. A fuelie car, the CZ-suffix 283/315 HP V-8 is equipped with a Rochester fuel-injection unit (Serial No. 1006, Part No. *number in the description*), a 4-speed manual transmission, finned valve covers and a 7,000 RPM tachometer. It also has aluminum heads, which were not made readily available, making this machine an even more unique discovery. After a comprehensive restoration, the Corvette has only traveled about 5 miles and is presented in Ermine White with a white soft top and red interior. Options include a heater, a defroster, a clock and a radio, while small-diameter, chrome cross-flag hubcaps adorn color-matched steel wheels outside. The 1960 model year would be the last time the tail lights would be spear shaped; four circles replaced them in 1961, a trend that would sustain through today. Corvettes were also available with fuel-injected engines, though all had to be equipped with manual transmissions, which might have something to do with the re-engineered 283 powerplant. Equipped with solid lifters and a higher compression ratio of 11.0:1, two fuel-injected engines were available, one with 315 HP and the other with 275 HP. Aluminum radiators helped compensate for Corvettes equipped with the Duntov Cam, and aluminum clutch housings for manual transmission cars helped reduce weight. Engineers also opted for stiffer anti-sway bars front and rear, as well as additional wheel travel to improve ride comfort. Interestingly, with all this performance engineering going on, Corvette won its class at Le Mans in 1960, the first time a Corvette raced on that legendary circuit.
