This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in Jewel Blue over matching vinyl, and it is powered by a dual-carbureted 283ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a Posi-traction rear axle. Equipment includes a white convertible top, a body-color removable hardtop, 15″ wheels with spinner-style covers, an analog clock, lap belts.
The C1 was updated with styling tweaks for the 1961 model year, and the fiberglass bodywork of this example is finished in Jewel Blue with white coves. Equipment includes chrome bumpers, a body-color removable hardtop, and a white convertible top.
Blue-painted 15″ steel wheels wear spinner-style covers and are mounted with whitewall tires. The brake lines, the stabilizer links, and the right-rear axle bracket are said to be replacements, and oversized ball joints have been installed.
The cabin features seats trimmed in blue vinyl as well as a matching dashboard. Equipment includes a dashboard-mounted rear-view mirror, carpeted floor mats, black lap belts, an analog clock, metal sill plates, and a Wonder Bar push-button radio.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 16k miles.
The 283ci V8 features dual four-barrel carburetors and was rated at 245 horsepower when new. The engine was reportedly removed, cleaned, and reinstalled approximately 10 years ago, and other maintenance at that time is said to have included replacing the motor mounts, refreshing the starter and the cooling fan, and installing a Harrison radiator.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and Posi-traction rear axle. The seller reports that the transmission was removed, cleaned, and replaced approximately 10 years ago.
The sale includes a Bloomington Gold certificate as well as a Bloomington Gold Survivor participation-recognition letter.
