1961 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie For Sale- Matching Numbers 283/315hp
Fuel-Injected Engine LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1961
Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie If racing was your goal in 1961, this was
the Corvette for you. The new-look 1961 Corvette was highly
anticipated by anyone who had seen either the Sting Ray racer
piloted by Dr. Dick Thompson or the space-age XP-700 show car that
shared the Sting Ray's knife-edged rear styling. The new ducktail
added slightly more storage space and the front end was
cosmetically overhauled. For 1961 the copper-core radiators were
replaced with aluminum versions. This increased capacity by 10
percent while reducing weight by almost half. The engine was now
producing 315 horsepower from the 283-cubic-inch V-8 with Rochester
fuel injection. This also was the final year that whitewall tires
and for the 'coves' that were painted in contrasting colors.
Finished in the stunning color combination of Tuxedo Black with
Silver coves and a Red interior. This beautiful Corvette has
benefitted from a beautiful restoration with Tuxedo Black paint
polished to a mirror finish and complemented with excellent chrome
and brightwork. The quality continues to the interior of this
Corvette finished in Red complemented by plenty of nice brightwork
especially around the correct Wonderbar radio, clock, and manual
transmission. It is powered by a numbers matching 283/315hp Fuel
Injection engine backed by a T10 four-speed manual transmission.
This Corvette offers both the white convertible soft top and a
matching Tuxedo Black hardtop. The car is finished with correct
style Spinner Hubcap and 6.70x15 white wall tires. This 1961
Corvette equipped with very rare Fuelie powertrain and restored in
the beautiful Tuxedo Black with Silver coves 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 effertlessly. Additional Details: 1961
