Originally a 1963 Corvette Sting Ray, this was the first Fuel Injected 1963 roadster registered in the state of Massachusetts. The body modifications were designed by Ken Hablow and all the fiberglass bodywork was done by Ed Vaneski at Porter Chevrolet in Cambridge, MA. All mechanical work, engine and chassis, was done by Ken Duclos at Kay Dee Automotive in Westford, MA. In it's last configuration, the engine turned over 550 horse power on the dynamometer. The top speed ever reached was 180 mph at Watkins Glen in New York State.
This photo shows the clean front end and the addition of later model rear fender flares. This also shows the 'turtle neck" built around the air cleaners on the dual air meter fuel injection.	Here you can see the reverse flared rear deck and the addition of Camaro tail lights.
Vanity is everything!	The 365 cubic inch engine was fed by a custom built Dual Air Meter fuel injection system, which was a modification to the original Chevrolet system. By placing one air meter on top of each set of four venturi tubes inside the plenum chamber, a ram effect was created that added 50 horsepower.
