Junior Corvette C1

Junior Corvette C1

This Junior Corvette C1 is special for a variety of reasons. Not only is it a beautiful replica of one of the most famous American sports cars of all time, it’s one of the most accurate reproductions you’ll see in a toy car. The craftsmanship that went into the design of this 2/3 scale Corvette is impressive. The paint job is beautiful. And the details are all right, down to the single mirror on the driver’s side.

The car has a 6.9 horsepower 107cc engine, with a top speed of about 35 miles per hour. A far cry from the actual Corvette C1, but not too bad for a car intended for use by children ages 8 and up. One thing to note, the car can support up to 330 pounds. Basic math tells you, that a two-seater that can hold 330 pounds means that each human can weigh up to 165 pounds each. Sounds like plenty of weight for those who are just kids at heart.
