By 1961 the Corvette had evolved into a very credible sports car with a multitude of SCCA victories to its credit, as well as an impressive finish of eighth overall (first in class) at the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans. Styling was carefully updated under GM design chief Bill Mitchell with a subtle new grille design, while the new rear end treatment foreshadowed the upcoming Sting-Ray with a neat ducktail design incorporating four cylindrical taillights. In addition, the growing list of standard equipment now included a tachometer, seat belts, sun visors, dual exhaust, carpeting, an electric clock, outside rearview mirror and an aluminum radiator. In 1961, Chevrolet built 10,939 Corvettes for true driving enthusiasts. They remain highly coveted by those who enjoy their sports cars with a high-performance American V-8 engine under the hood.

This Corvette is finished in white with silver cove, black top and interior. It is equipped with the rare power top option as well as windshield washer sprayers. It was the recent recipient of a ground-up restoration. Its odometer reads just over 89,700 miles. The four-speed transmission and BFGoodrich Silverton whitewall tires further enhance the desirability of this wonderful car.
