Chevrolet CorvetteMalcolm made a special deal with American Motors to sell 3,000 V-8 engines. The engines were being developed for use in a sports car to challenge the Chevrolet Corvette. When Malcolm was looking for a plant in late 1972 the Quebec government was approached. At first they were interested, but Jean de Villers recommended that Quebec turn down the offer because Malcolm was a recognized promoter.
