Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1961 Chevrolet Corvette
for your consideration. This Corvette is finished in Honduras
Maroon with Ermine White coves with a white soft top and a paint
matched hard-top. The current owner has hung on to this vehicle
over the last 26 years and has kept exceptional care of the vehicle
throughout his ownership. It has always been detailed inside, out,
and underneath, always stored in climate controlled storage, and
never driven in bad conditions. The motor was professionally
rebuilt about 5 years back - according to the owner, it features
approximately 2,000 miles on it since the rebuild. Along with the
engine, the clutch was replaced and the brakes were completely gone
through. Powered by the 283 cubic inch 315hp motor mated to a 4
speed manual transmission, this Fuelie could not offer more fun.
Please call or email us today for more information.
The Chevrolet Corvette (C1) is the first generation of the Corvette
sports car produced by Chevrolet. It was introduced late in the
1953 model year, and produced through 1962. It is commonly referred
to as the "solid-axle" generation, as the independent rear
suspension did not appear until the 1963 Sting Ray. Four taillights
appeared on the 1961, a treatment that continues to this day.
Engine displacement remained at 283 cubic inches, but power output
increased for the two fuel-injected engines to 275 and 315 hp (205
and 235 kW). Power ratings for the dual-four barrel engines did not
change (245 hp and 270 hp) but this was the last year of their
availability. This was the last year for contrasting paint colors
in cove areas, and the last two-tone Corvette of any type until
1978. Also debuting in 1961 was a new boat-tail design later used
on the C2.
