1959 Chevrolet Corvette 283/290 Fuelie 4-Speed

About

For performance-minded buyers, the Rochester mechanical fuel injection system — known simply as the "Fuelie" — remained the top engine option, delivering the sharpest throttle response available on any American production car of the era. The combination of fuel injection with the heavy-duty braking package and the Borg-Warner T-10 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission represented one of the most serious configurations the factory offered.
