1957 Chevrolet Corvette "Fuelie"
- Value: $129,200
Fuel injection -- a system by which gasoline is squirted into the air entering the cylinder rather than just being sucked in as the air flows past -- can improve a vehicle's efficiency and performance. It was offered as an option on the Corvette for the first time in 1957. You could get a car with a 283 cubic-inch engine -- 4.6 liters in today's metric numbers -- producing 283 horsepower.
