1954 Chevrolet Corvette - A Different Kind Of Bubbletop 409
Larry Barnes' custom 1954 Chevrolet Corvette is an all-modern C1 roadsterBefore the 327 Nova, Super Sport 396 Chevelle, and the Z28 Camaro, Bow Tie loyalists with a penchant for performance were treated to the W-headed 409 nestled in SS Impalas from 1961 through 1965. Various iterations of the famed, odd-shaped, valve-covered plant inspired the Beach Boys billboard hit and wins at the Winternationals. Although later engines pushing higher compression through larger cubic inches with improved intake and exhaust flow would succeed the venerable powerplant, none would be so revered. Topping the rarity chart, the General's "mystery motors"-fresh from their sweep at Daytona-were installed only in the General's passenger car line. In addition to the 427 mystery motors, another variation were the Z-11s. primarily designed for drag racing, it was hailed as one of most wicked motors that GM produced that decade.
