This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette has benefitted from a body-off restoration in which the body and frame were professionally blasted and painted. The restoration was completed in 2015. All work was completed to a very high standard with NCRS and Bloomington certifications in mind, evident in the excellent condition of the car.

The car is presented in Jewel Blue, with a matching cove, and comes with both a hard top in Jewel Blue and a soft-top in black. The Corvette rides on blackwall tires which are mounted on steel wheels with basic “dog dish” style center caps. The vehicle is powered by a 283-cid, 315-hp fuel-injected V-8 engine, which was rebuilt during restoration. This desirable fuel-injected engine only found its way into only 1,462 Corvettes in 1961. The engine is paired to a four-speed T-10 manual transmission which sends power to a Posi-traction rear end. The Corvette features an Al Knock interior, completed in blue, with bucket seats and seatbelts as well as a signal seeking AM radio. Included with the car are tools, spare tire and jack.
