1960 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie For Sale- Sateen Silver W/White
Coves, Beautifully Restored LMC is very proud to offer for sale
this 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie It would be in 1960 that
Corvette would enter the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans, lending the
brand international esteem. At the suggestion of Zora Arkus-Duntov,
Briggs Cunningham bought three Corvettes equipped with all the
racing goodies from a dealership in New York City and had these
cars modified into real racers at his shop. Cunningham's fear of
failure was epic, one story of which dictated that all the cars
have not only heavy-duty fuel pumps but two electric fuel pumps
with dashboard-mounted switches as backup. The story of the 1, 2
and 3 cars is legend, but this was largely the year that Corvette
proved that it could run with the world's best. Due to this
Corvette sales surpassed 10,000 for the first time, a full six
years after the St. Louis plant was refitted in anticipation of
reaching that level of production. Facing the AMA ban on racing
activities and budget restrictions on new development, engineer
Zora Arkus-Duntov turned his attention to refining Corvette's
overall ride. The result was a complete overhaul that involved
using softer springs, controlling cornering roll with a stiffer
front sway bar and, for the first time in an American production
car, adding one at the rear. This beautifully restored 1960
Corvette is finished in the highly desirable Sateen Silver
complemented very nicely by White Coves. The restoration quality of
this Corvette is excellent with the paint having been wet sanded
and polished to beautiful show quality shine as well as outstanding
exterior bright work. The quality continues to the interior of this
Corvette finished in Black complemented by plenty of brightwork
especially around the cars Wonderbar radio, clock, and manual
transmission. Under the hood is the highly desirable numbers
matching 283/290 HP Rochester fuel-injected V-8 engine with a T-10
4-speed manual transmission sending power to a Positraction rear
end. The toothy grille, terrific trim, split bumpers up front, are
in beautiful shape- it's all what you expect when buying an upper
echelon example of America's sports car. With just the right
stance, sitting on the original 15" steel wheels w/ dog-dish
hubcaps, wrapped in Firestone 6.70 x 15 black-wall tires, just like
she did 58 years ago. This Corvette is absolute eye-candy from
every possible angle This 1960 Corvette equipped with highly
collectible and rare Fuelie powertrain and restored in the
beautiful Sateen Silver is an investment grade automobile that will
most assuredly provide enjoyment for years to come. The overall
driving experience is an engine that runs beautifully, gives a
smart cackle from the twin tailpipes, and pulls through the gears
like a freight train. Additional Details: 1960 CHEVROLET CORVETTE -
