Description
Very nice 1961 Corvette C1 Convertible with hard top and a white soft-top, V8 283 cu in (4. 7 litres), fuel-injected 270 hp with a 4-speed manual gearbox. Its elegance and the torque, smoothness and power of the V8 make it one of the most desirable and sought-after models.
The novelty on this latest version of the legendary C1 is its new boat-tail design, which was also adopted in 1963 on the C2; the four taillights appeared on the 1961 Corvette, a styling cue that continues to this day on the C8.
The vehicle was fully restored about ten years ago, and since then the car has been impeccably maintained by its two previous owners, always kept in a garage of course.
