This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in Honduras Maroon with white coves over black vinyl and powered by a 283ci V8 paired with a T10 four-speed manual transmission and 4.11:1 rear axle. Features include a white convertible soft top, power windows, four-wheel drum brakes, whitewall tires, PerTronix electronic ignition, a dual exhaust system, and a Wonderbar push-button AM radio as well as a heater and defroster. The car is said to have undergone a body-off refurbishment during previous ownership in the early 1990s and was acquired by the seller and relocated to Canada in 2010.
The car is said to have been refinished in Honduras Maroon with white coves under previous ownership in the early 1990s. Exterior features include exposed dual headlights, chrome bumpers, a trunk lid, an antenna, a single mirror, and a white convertible top.
The 15″ steel wheels wear spinner-style covers and 205/75 Coker Classic radial whitewall tires. A matching full-size spare is mounted inside the trunk, and braking is handled by four-wheel drum brakes. The seller notes four bias-ply tires are included in the sale.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl along with a matching dashboard, carpets, and door panels. Equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror, power windows, lap safety belts, an analog clock, and a Wonderbar push-button AM radio.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and four auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 63k miles.
The 283ci V8 features twin four-barrel carburetors and PerTronix electronic ignition and was factory rated at 270 horsepower. The removed distributor points are included in the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a T10 four-speed manual transmission and 4.11:1 rear axle.
