This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a 283ci V8 topped with dual four-barrel carburetors and linked with a four-speed manual transmission. The car was refinished in black under prior ownership, and it was acquired by the current owner in 2021. Features include a white convertible soft top, red interior trim, a Positraction limited-slip differential, twin four-barrel carburetors, 15″ steel wheels, a heater, and a Wonder Bar AM radio. This C1 Corvette is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean California title.
The car was refinished in black under prior ownership and is equipped with a replacement white soft top. Additional exterior equipment includes quad headlights and taillights as well as bumpers and trim.
The 15″ steel wheels feature simulated knock-off spinner covers and are mounted with 205/75 Coker American Classic whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drums.
The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in red vinyl. Interior equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a heater, a Wonder Bar AM radio, and an analog clock.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature, amperage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 53k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.
The 283ci V8 was factory equipped with two four-barrel carburetors and a high-lift camshaft for a rating of 270 horsepower when new. The selling dealer states the car was serviced in preparation for the sale.
The stamping on the engine pad is shown above. The CU suffix is consistent with a 283ci V8 rated at 270 horsepower and designated for a 1961 Corvette with two four-barrel carburetors, a high-lift camshaft, and a manual transmission.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential.
