    The Barrett-Jackson series by Greenlight are based on auctions of specific cars sold in the Barrett-Jackson auctions. This one is a 1961 Corvette that sold for $118,800. It was a frame off/numbers matching. restoration and I am thinking that was a good buy. It has a 283 cubic inch engine that puts out 315 horsepower. More horsepower than c ubic inches is considered impressive.
    The model itself is like a gem. Greenlight did make another version of the casting with a roof but I like this one a bit better. I like how the back of the seats fit with the body of the car.
    This is what is called a C1 Corvette. I have yet to see a good casting of the C2, that's the one with the very large rear window.
    Got something decent coming up for Matchbox Monday so stay tuned.
