Vehicle Description
Drenched in a purple hue that commands the streets with authority,
this 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Pro Street stands as a bold
declaration of power and style. Its aggressive stance is underlined
by 15" Weld Racing wheels clad in robust Vercelli and Hoosier
tires, signaling its readiness to dominate the asphalt. A
meticulous full repaint, applied around five years ago, showcases
the vehicle's striking chrome trim and bumpers. Without a top, this
Corvette boldly sports a roll cage, flaunting its muscular physique
and tubbed rear, challenging onlookers to question its
dominance.
Inside, a custom tweed interior featuring a full roll cage and
harnesses transforms the cabin into more than mere seating-it
becomes a command center for those brave enough to unleash the
Corvette's raw power. Bucket seats with a floor shift, set against
a backdrop of grey, are complemented by a Weld racing steering
wheel and Lenco shifters, serving as the pilot's ultimate controls.
From the aftermarket Autometer gauges to the three-point harness
seatbelt, every detail of the interior is crafted for an
exhilarating and exclusive driving experience.
Beneath the hood lies the heart of the 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Pro
Street: a formidable 509 ci supercharged V8 engine. It unleashes
fury through twin Holley 1150 Dominators and a 1741 BDS blower,
with precision-engineered aluminum heads and a performance camshaft
ensuring its growl is as fearsome as its performance. Paired with
this beast is a sturdy Lenco 4-speed manual transmission, equipped
with a McLeod dual disc clutch for seamless shifts. A Dana 60 rear
end, loaded with 5.11 gears, guarantees explosive starts and rapid
acceleration. An aluminum radiator with dual electric fans ensures
the engine remains cool under pressure, highlighting this
Corvette's build for serious street action beyond mere
aesthetics.
