327-Powered 1961 Chevrolet Corvette 5-Speed

This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is said to have remained in Oregon since the 1970s and was refurbished circa 2010. Power is provided by a 327ci V8 that is equipped with a triple-carburetor induction system, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and Dynatech headers. The engine is backed by a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end with a Positraction differential. Finished in blue with silver coves, the car has a black Haartz soft top, a hood scoop, C4-specification front suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, 17″ American Racing wheels, and black and gray leather upholstery. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2024, this C1 Corvette is now offered with a clean Oregon title.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,300-rpm redline as well as auxiliary gauges, while a temperature gauge is located ahead of the shifter. The five-digit odometer shows 10k miles, approximately 50 of which were added under current ownership.
