Purple People Eater 1959 MKIII Corvette secured the 1959 SCCA National Championship in the B/Production class, 290hp fuel-injected 283, RPO684 big-brakes which includes an extreme amount of special cooling ducts that have to be installed when the body parts are glued together and heavy-duty suspension. Campaigned by Nickey Chevrolet in 1959, the Purple People Eater is of course aptly named for its non-factory color, which was applied in the Nickey body shop to help the car stand out from other cars on the track.
