Overview
The AFX AstroVette 22093 is a limited-edition tribute to the legendary 1969 Corvettes given to the Apollo 12 astronauts. In 1969, former Indy 500 winner Jim Rathmann arranged for Apollo 12's all-Navy crew to lease new '69 Corvettes for just $1 — and astronauts Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon, and Alan Bean chose matching Riverside Gold Sport Coupes with personalized red, white, and blue plaques.
This AFX replica captures Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean's AstroVette, with signature black "wings" styled by Alex Tremulis to evoke the Apollo 12 command module. Built on the Mega G+ Short wheelbase chassis, it pairs authentic space-age history with AFX's smooth, modern performance.
