Vehicle Description
This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a beautifully restored
C-1 Corvette that is ready for some serious cruising! When the
Corvette was initially introduced in 1953, it featured a novel, yet
practical, fiberglass body with body lines reminiscent of the
European sports cars that were dominating at the time. The overall
design was based on the 1952 EX-122 show car and was one of the
only Motorama Dream Cars to go into production with very few
styling revisions. In the years that followed, the Corvette saw a
number of updates including the introduction of a V8 engine,
additional color options, extra "creature comforts," and more
performance-oriented options. By the time 1960 rolled around,
Chevrolet's Corvette had cemented itself as "America's Sports
Car"-a car that could keep up on the track on Sundays but also be
driven to the office Monday morning. The 1960 Corvette was left
mostly unchanged from the previous year's design, which was, at the
time, the most popular Corvette produced; that is, until 1960.
Rather than changing the gorgeous body lines, the 1960 Corvette saw
incremental mechanical updates such as an updated suspension system
that improved handling. Interestingly, the '60 'Vette was the final
year that the Corvette sported the chrome "heavy teeth" styling in
the grille and the last to feature the molded taillights in the
rear quarter panels. The 1960 Corvette was further popularized by
the "Route 66" television show where Martin Milner and George
Maharis drove a '60 Corvette across the country. Moreover, the
Corvette continued its sales success in 1960 when Chevrolet sold
over 10,000 Corvettes for the very first time in the GM marque's
history. Under the hood on this '60 Corvette is an upgraded 350
Cubic Inch V8 engine underneath an Edelbrock aluminum intake and
Carter single 4 barrel carburetor. The NOM 350 V8 is mated to a 4
speed manual transmission that makes this C1 'Vette an absolute
blast to drive! Exhaust exits the later model 350 Chevy through a
dual exhaust setup that gives this Corvette a nice throaty sound.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Positraction rear axle,
ensuring that you'll be able to keep the rubber to the pavement
when driving this classic Chevy sports car. The white vinyl soft
convertible top is in wonderful condition and is manually operated
easily by a single person. This 1960 Corvette rides on a set of
wide whitewall bias-ply tires paired with a set of full
spinner-style wheelcovers, which gives this Chevrolet a truly
classy look. The fiberglass body on this Corvette is finished in a
beautiful Tuxedo Black that is accented by silver painted side
coves. The interior on this 1960 Corvette is gorgeous! The bucket
seats have been reupholstered in black vinyl and they are in
excellent condition. The black carpeting, black and silver door
panels, and black vinyl padded dash and grab bar are all in
wonderful shape as well and appear to be in their stock
configuration. The dash is equipped with a 160 MPH speedometer,
7,000 RPM tachometer, temperature gauge, battery gauge, oil
pressure gauge, and fuel gauge, as well as a clock and a Wonderbar
AM radio. Whether you're adding to your Corvette collection or
you're purchasing your first classic Corvette, this 1960 Chevrolet
Corvette Convertible would make an excellent choice. Give us a call
