Junior Replicas Ltda.
1956 Chevrolet Corvette SR Prototype Sebring Racer "The Real McCoy"
Exact Replica in 2/3 Scale (Serial #24014)

This extremely rare motorized replica of the legendary 1956 Corvette SR Prototype (a. k. a. "The Real McCoy") was manufactured in 2009 by Junior Replicas of Paraná. Brazil. The firm is known for it's beautifully-crafted and highly-detailed vehicles which have been offered by exclusive retailers such as Harrods of London. Hammacher Schlemmer. Neiman Marcus and FAO Schwarz. Original retail price was over $30. 00.

This is no go-kart. All exterior and interior details of the racer have been replicated in 2/3 scale including vinyl tonneau cover. fender-mounted ID lamps. leather straps. quick-filler gas cap and brake cooling ducts. The car is equipped with a 107cc 6. 9HP overhead cam 4-stroke motor. which pushes the car to a max speed of 35mph. Other technical specs include electric start. clutchless 3-speed automatic (with reverse). coil-over shocks (front & rear). adjustable gas and brake pedals. functioning headlights. turn-signals and horn. See additional specifications below.

This example has never been used and was only removed from it's shipping crate for photographing and a thorough check of the mechanicals. The protective plastic is still on the leather seats. Pick up can be arranged or I will happily assist in shipping worldwide.
