1961 Chevrolet Corvette C1

This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette was refurbished under prior ownership and is powered by a 283ci V8 with dual four-barrel carburetors winked to a four-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in black with silver coves and a black soft top over red vinyl upholstery, and equipment includes a Wonder Bar AM radio, front disc brakes, and 15″ steel wheels. The seller purchased it in 2015, and service performed since 2020 included a front disc brake conversion and carburetor overhauls. This C1 Corvette is now offered with a car cover, an owner’s manual, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name. The car was refinished in black with silver coves under prior ownership and features a black soft top, quad headlights and taillights, and chrome split bumpers. The seller notes a wiper scratch on the windshield as well as a crack in the fiberglass at the rear edge of the driver’s door. The 15″ steel wheels feature simulated knock-off spinner covers and are mounted with 205/75 Goodyear whitewall tires. A front disc brake kit was installed in 2019, and the removed front drums will accompany the car. The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in red vinyl. Interior equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror and an analog clock. The Wonder Bar AM radio does not work. The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature, amperage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 81k miles, less than 2k of which were added under current ownership. The 283ci V8 is equipped with two four-barrel carburetors and a high-lift camshaft as well as a chrome ignition cover. The seller states the carburetors were overhauled in 2020. The stamping on the engine pad is pictured. The CU suffix is consistent with a 283ci V8 rated at 270 horsepower and designated for a 1961 Corvette with two four-barrel carburetors, a high-lift camshaft, and a manual transmission. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. Filed under: c1
