Vehicle Description
This 1961 Fuelie Corvette in Fawn Beige with white coves is one of
1,462 Fuelies produced that year. This Corvette is Bloomington Gold
Certified, underwent a meticulous frame-off restoration, and sports
the original, fully rebuilt, numbers matching, 283/315hp
fuel-injected engine with a 4-speed manual transmission and
posi-traction. It features the ducktail trunk, Wonder Bar radio and
matching Fawn interior. It has been driven on a regular schedule,
and always kept in an air-conditioned environment. The complete
restoration process was undertaken in 1996 by the current owner and
preserved through numerous photos, invoices and memorabilia. This
was a labor of love, with no expense spared, and has been cared for
as a collector vehicle since. In 2016 all systems were
professionally checked, and the fuel injection, cooling system and
brakes were rebuilt to original standards. The judging process for
achieving Bloomington Gold is also fully documented, including the
original judging sheets. Some historical papers date back to 1971.
All documentation goes with this collector car.
