For Sale at Auction: 1961 Chevrolet Corvette in New Orleans, Louisiana

This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is a two-time NCRS Top Flight award-winner and is powered by a matching-numbers 283ci V8 engine with a dual 4-barrel carburetor (CU code) producing 245hp, paired with a T10 4-speed manual transmission. It is equipped with 7-finned cast valve covers and is finished in Tuxedo Black with black coves over a black interior. This previously restored triple-black Corvette features the Wonder Bar AM radio, windshield washers, sunshades, courtesy light and package tray. It rolls on wide whitewall bias-belted tires with stainless knock-off caps. The 1961 Corvette had many firsts for this model and was the final year for the dual-quad and the 283ci V8 engine. This is the first year with the aluminum radiator and side-mounted coolant expansion tank as standard equipment, as well as the first year for under-car exhaust. This two-time NCRS certified Corvette comes with a binder of receipts and owner history. 3,945 miles since restoration.
