There was a very popular 1/12 scale radio controlled car made in the late 1970's of this car. It had a hard shell body, molded in yellow. I used to race 1/12 scale R/C back then, back when just when a few companies first started making dedicated 1/12 electric cars. The hobby was really booming. Anyway, these hard shell Corvette Spyder cars were not allowed to race in any club events, they were not really designed for competition (they were like a Tamiya car), but the Corvette was by an off brand company. It was a ready-to-run model, and it was one of the first electric R/C cars with proportional steering and variable speed. I'd havce to dig through some very old R/C Modeler magazines to find an ad for one of these.
