Vehicle Description
One of the earliest 327 corvettes known to exist production number
#238, built on August 23rd, 1961. Nicely Restored Roman Red
Exterior Very Nice Black interior The steel of the convertible
carriage folds nicely. The white vinyl top is possibly from 1962
but shows quite nicely for its age. Adding to the unique rarity is
the optional power window (3% had power windows) feature (order
code 426) making this quite a find. The 3269 AFB carb sporting the
super early 1466 code and the correct August 1961 dating pairs it
to the very early VIN build date. This car's 1466 logo on the carb
will be featured in the NCRS judging manual as no pic had existed
until one on the car was sent in. The numbers matching engine pad
on the engine shows it to be a RD coded 300HP car. The vintage, the
history and the condition make this an exceptional example of the
car that caused the Corvette to gain its race worthy heritage, now
firmly established but handed down from the 327 engine that changed
the brand in the summer of 1961. Don't pass this one up if this is
your dream car. It is a very Nice Texas Car with the bottom side is
as nice as the top. Prior owner was a collector who spent a great
deal of money and effort putting this through a very expensive and
extensive restoration. Not a car with photographic edits to heavily
try to sell the car.
