1:18 Scale 1961 #36 Original Mazmanian Chevrolet Corvette Gasser Diecast Model

Born May 18th, 1926 in East Los Angeles, John Mazmanian got his start in hot rodding at the ripe old age of 14, building a 1930 Model A coupe he'd procured for $25 in his junior high school auto shop class. "Big John" later purchased a brand-new 1961 model Chevy Corvette and immediately turned it into one of the hottest Vettes in history. He won his class at the first Winternationals in 1961, setting an AA/SP class speed record of 109.96 mph in the process. After some modifications, John returned to the 1962 Winternationals. With a different block mounted with a Hilborn injector, a GMC 4-71 blower and lots of Isky innards, his team came back to break 129 mph and 11 seconds ET in the Modified Sports class.
