 | RPO 684 was a heavy duty racing suspension. 51 of the 6,339 1957 Corvettes were produced with RPO 684, which incorporated segmented cerametallic brake linings inside large, finned brake drums, fresh air ducting to the rear brakes, front and rear vented backing plates with screened air intakes, special front and rear springs and shock absorbers, a heavier front sway bar and quick steering adaptor. In addition to radio and heater delete, RPO 684 demanded a choice of either the dual 4-barrel equipped 283/270 HP or the fuel-injected 283/283 HP V-8 engines. |

Estimate for this top example is $200k - $225k at Mecum. |
