Description: EXOTO 1962 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT COUPE SOFT TOPRACING LEGENDS RGL18021 1:18 SCALENOTE: EXOTO HAS RETIRED THIS PIECE AT $3,495.00!!! Not the CFrom the moment the Shelby AC 260 was first tested in February 1962, the car fulfilled a promise which made it nearly mythical. Light, extremely powerful, well balanced, and extraordinarily beautiful, the car proved that an excellent engine and an equal chassis could be designed on different continents for different purposes, and yet be combined to make a world-beater. Sometimes forgotten is the fact that the car was very civilized for its day, equipped as it was with a soft-top for inclement weather. The first Shelby car is presented here with its convertible top, for the enjoyment of Exoto's patrons.The 260 was completed and first driven in February 1962, with a soft-roof in place and a Shelby logo handpainted on its nose. The automotive press was thrilled to help promote this amazing new car. Carroll Shelby cannily waited for the numerous deposits he received at the New York Auto show to hit Shelby American's bank account before more chassis were flown in from England, and production slowly began with minor improvements. By August the car's papers were submitted to FIA for homologation, and it was clear that Shelby American was building road cars in order to go racing. On road and track the cars were ground-breaking, though none so much as that first soft-roofed 260 from which they were descended.Never had it out for display - the car is in excellent condition.
