The breathtaking colors and flawless attention to detail make it unlike anything else on the road. Built to an uncompromising standard, the craftsmanship is evident in every square inch. More than just beautiful, this Corvette delivers a driving experience that rivals modern sports cars with handling, comfort. It is the kind of car that stops people in their tracks, draws a crowd wherever it goes, and leaves an even bigger impression on the fortunate person behind the wheel! EXTERIOR: The fit and finish of this Corvette far exceeds what the factory was capable of producing in 1961. Every inch of the body is laser straight, and despite careful inspection, I could not find evidence of poor bodywork, stress cracks, or imperfections. The panel alignment is exceptional throughout, with precise gaps and doors that shut with a solid, modern feel. The body is finished in a drop dead gorgeous dark blue metallic that perfectly highlights the Corvette's timeless curves. The metallic is laid out evenly across every panel and polished to a deep, glass like finish that reflects like a mirror. In the sunlight, the chrome and trim absolutely sparkle, providing a striking contrast against the rich blue paint. The glass and weatherstrips were replaced. This Corvette offers the best of both worlds with both tops included. The removable hardtop is painted to the same show quality standard as the body, while the upgraded German cloth convertible top is finished in matching dark blue and fits beautifully. The stance is absolutely spot on, giving the car an aggressive yet sophisticated appearance. Completing the look is a set of polished American Racing Twisted Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in custom made performance redline tires. The overall presentation is nothing short of spectacular. INTERIOR: This is an absolutely stunning custom interior- one of the best you'll find anywhere! Not only for its fit and finish but also for its comfort, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. The moment you sit inside, you're greeted by the rich aroma of premium leather. The custom seats have been expertly contoured to provide additional room and comfort for both the driver and passenger, and they are even heated! Its welcome improvement over the original design. Every major surface has been wrapped in matching leather, creating a seamless, upscale appearance throughout the cabin. A custom center console has been fabricated along with beautifully designed custom door panels and dash. Even the sill plates have been wrapped, demonstrating the incredible attention to detail. The original style steering wheel has been redesigned with a smaller diameter and wrapped in a padded leather grip for a more comfortable driving experience. The instrument panel has been color matched to the interior, creating a uniform appearance throughout. The gauges have been upgraded. Premium square weave carpet covers the floor and is protected by matching mats. Air conditioning controls have been cleanly integrated into the design along with stylish billet air vents. A modern stereo system provides excellent sound through door mounted speakers hidden behind attractive mesh metal grilles. As the finishing touch, a Tremec 6-speed shifter rises from the console, reminding you that this Corvette offers modern performance to match its award worthy interior. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is certainly impressive when you first look at it, but it's even more impressive when you get behind the wheel. At the heart of this Corvette is a modern LT1 Corvette V8, a fuel-injected 5.7-liter engine producing approximately 400 horsepower. It delivers the reliability and performance of a modern sports car while maintaining a show quality appearance. The engine is tastefully dressed with polished components and equipped with a serpentine front runner system. Modern comfort and convenience have been seamlessly integrated with the addition of air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes. It also features a modern alternator and an upgraded cooling system consisting of a Be Cool aluminum radiator and electric fan. Braided stainless hoses and lines add both durability and visual appeal throughout the compartment. Complementing the polished components is an abundance of glossy body color blue paint, tying the entire car together. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is nothing short of a work of art. While the underside of the trunk lid is finished in beautiful gloss blue paint, that's only the beginning of what makes this compartment so special. Open it up and you'll find a fully custom boxed and upholstered trunk trimmed in the same premium leather as the interior. The floor is covered in premium square weave carpet. This isn't the typical custom trunk treatment- it's first class! in every respect. UNDERSIDE: It has been completely transformed with a professionally engineered Paul Newman chassis, bringing modern performance and handling to this classic Corvette. It incorporates a C5-style independent suspension system front and rear, complete with aluminum control arms, front and rear sway bars, RideTech gas shocks, and rack-and-pinion steering. The result is a Corvette that drives, handles, and responds far beyond what was possible in 1961. The braking system has been thoroughly upgraded with drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four wheels, and the emergency brake is functional. A neatly installed dual exhaust system with an X-pipe provides both improved performance and an aggressive sound. Looking up at the engine, it is detailed and painted body color, and features a high torque starter for reliable operation. Power is transferred through a Tremec 6-speed manual trans connected to a custom aluminum driveshaft, which leads back to an aluminum rear differential housing equipped with 3.42 posi gears. The entire undercarriage is exceptionally clean, thoughtfully engineered, and built t https://www.volocars.com/vehicles/19214/1961-chevrolet-corvette 1961 Chevrolet Corvette https://www.hotrodhotline.com/forsale/vehicles/chevrolet/corvette/1961/listing/254165 New Arrival!

Chevrolet Corvette https://www.hotrodhotline.com/forsale/vehicles/chevrolet/corvette/1961/listing/211236 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible  For consignment, the poster child for firsts and lasts, a 1961 Corvette convertible with a matching numbers powerplant and flashing that contrasting coves so iconic in the classic Corvette world.  The car is in very good original condition and is a whiplash inducing looker on the street.  Exterior This little red Corvette is coated in Roman Red which is accented of course by the painted cove in Ermine White.  Other contrasting elements include the chrome bumpers and grille in fine condition, and 15-inch white wall tires surrounding polished wheel covers with mock knock-offs.  Descending side spears emerge from the vented gills, and along with the cove are probably the most photographed and artistically rendered body part in history next to Bo Derek's...teeth.  The white canvas top is in great condition and has a plastic window, while the curved windshield framed in chrome is worth the price of admission!  Paint flaws include a few areas of bubbling, scuffs on the rear cowl, and a touched up scratch.  Interior Im not sure if this was purposeful, but the polished metal panel on the door panels looks like a shark eating the armrest and the door actuator serves as the eye.  The remainder of the panel is smooth red vinyl in great condition.  Low back red vinyl bucket seats fit like a glove in the sculpted tonneau.  We do note seam separation in the driver's side seat bottom but the rest looks good.  There are few words to describe the amazing dash, but "work of art" seems to fit.  The big arching speedometer climbs to 160mph under which we find the tachometer and four symmetrical round gauges, all in a hard red casing.  The padded dash cover looms over the center stack which contains the AM radio, clock, and air controls.  A deep cove behind a handle greets the passenger and the only thing missing might be a "Sit down, Shut up, and Hold on" decal.   A 4-speed shifter with ivory knob is floor mounted and that floor is covered in a black and red loop style carpet in stunning condition.  The "door shark" metal accent continues into the footwell walls and we can only imagine how much fun designing this car must've been!  The trunk is lined in red and covered with a red vinyl mat, looking clean as could be!  Drivetrain The numbers matching 283ci V8 is under the hood and is rated at 270 horsepower.  Two correct Carter 4-barrel carburetors top the correct aluminum intake manifold and a T10 4-speed manual transmission propels the car forward sending power to the rear wheels and 3.55 gears.  The engine bay is in original condition with no extra bling, but as is a showpiece.  Drum brakes lurk behind each wheel.  Undercarriage Super clean and dry underneath, it's likely this car has rarely seen rain, if ever.  The dual exhaust travels to stock style mufflers and then exits without fanfare under the rear fender.  Coil springs occupy the front independent suspension while leaf springs are found in the back.  We note some overspray on the spare tire carrier underneath.   Drive-Ability It's a rough job but someone has to do it.  Another classic Vette must be evaluated for functionality.  We baby this E-ticket onto the test loop and take a quick spin to check the bells and whistles.  Obviously, the car has great power, a wonderful sound, and decent visibility and with the top down, visibility is limitless.  Time to bring it home and test the brakes, which work in fine fashion.  The only demerit is an inoperable odometer.  There are two cars that consistently make it to the top of any car lover's wish list.  One is the Shelby Cobra, and the other is a classic Corvette.  And according to several sources and contrary to the myth, white cars are pulled over more often than the highly desired red car.  Chances are if you get pulled over in this car, it's because the officer is a big fan and wants a closer look.  Meanwhile, this bit of red needs a new garage.  Got space? 10867S100581 1-1961 08-Corvette 67-Convertible S-St. Louis, MO Assy Plant 100581-Sequential Unit
