Chevrolet Corvette (1961) for Sale in FL

This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is a stunning example of automotive history, blending classic design elements with meticulous restoration. Finished in the striking combination of Roman Red and Ermine White, it showcases both the beauty and performance that defined the era. The 1961 model marked a pivotal transition for the Corvette, retaining the dual open headlights, but moving to a more refined egg crate grille, with the rear featuring the iconic Sting Ray tail light configuration. The engine, a numbers-matching 283ci V8, was carefully rebuilt with a focus on precision and authenticity. This includes cleaning, balancing, and restoring each component, ensuring that everything is in pristine condition. The dual 4-barrel carburetors and chromed dinner plate air cleaner cover complete the engine's classic appearance, while the T10 4-speed manual transmission and 3.70 posi-traction rear axle provide an exhilarating driving experience. The exterior is as striking as the engine, featuring straight, unmarred fiberglass and gleaming chrome accents. The side coves with spears highlighted in Ermine White, along with the new grille design and the original convertible top, make for a truly eye-catching presentation. A matching Roman Red hardtop is also included, adding versatility to the car's appearance.
