If you’ve always wanted a classic 1st generation Corvette, this 1961 Roman Red roadster should be given serious consideration. Here is the opportunity to acquire a “head turning” NCRS Top Flight 283/ 270hp 4-Speed Corvette without “breaking the bank”.
Getting behind the wheel of this beautiful roadster and taking the car through the gears, on the open road or on twisting country roads, is what sports car driving is all about and offers the unique experience enjoyed by classic Corvette owners. When you’re on the road in this iconic American sports car it’s not getting from point A to B that’s important it’s the thrill of the drive and the pride of arriving in a car admired by many but enjoyed by few.
The seller, who purchased the car in September 2000, treated the car to a multi-year body-on restoration, which included a complete rebuild of the original engine. Upon completing the restoration the car was examined closely by Corvette Master Judges on three occasions. Each time the car was judged it received a National Corvette Restorer Society Top Flight Award, with the last judging resulting in a score of 97.1 at a NCRS Regional Judging Meet, a true testament to the originality and condition of the car, as well as the quality of the restoration. The judging sheets are available for review.
This well maintained 1961 Corvette comes with two sets of tires, bias ply whitewalls for judging and radials for driving pleasure. Many spare parts will go with the car to the new owner. Only by seeing the car in person and taking a test drive can one appreciate the quality of the car and recognize the opportunity being presented.
The car is located in Holbrook, New York on Long Island. To schedule an appointment to inspect the car please call Mark 609-306-1631 10am-8pm EST.
