1961 Chevrolet Corvette

Recently completed!! This Jewel Blue beauty was recently refreshed in it's original color combo of Jewel Blue with White Coves on the exterior and Medium Blue with White interior. The Vette is still powered by it's numbers matching, "DJ" 283ci, 245 horsepower engine with 2x4 carbs. Backed by the original Powerglide transmission. Less than 40 were built with these exact specs and I'm sure not all of them are left on the road today. This is a rare Corvette! The carpet is brand new, along with the top and all of the seats, dash and panels have been recovered in the correct colors as well. 1961 Corvettes were technically still part of the first generation of "C1" or first-generation solid axle Corvettes. They were substantially changed, however, from the 1956 cars. The grille “teeth” were eliminated and there was a completely different rear end with four round taillights that actually carried over into the all-new '63 Sting Ray design. This particular Corvette was built in the 2nd week of October. It's a stunning car that has been very nicely restored. You could not restore a Corvette to this level for anywhere near this price. Take this one home before it's gone!!
