For Sale: 1961 Chevrolet Corvette in Sarasota, Florida

1961 Chevrolet Corvette, Convertible

The 1961 Chevrolet Corvette featured a major redesign...but you might not know it until one passed you by since the big updates were out back. GM replaced the curvaceous rear end that had been in place since 1953 with the "tail lift" or "duck tail" rear end that would largely carry over to the C2 Corvette in 1963. The exhaust outlets were also moved underneath the rear end from the previously integrated exit pipes. In addition to effectively laying the foundation for the rear end of the upcoming C2 Stingray, the tail of the new 1961 car set the tradition of four taillights in the Corvette.

Up front, the changes were far more subtle, with a billet-look grille replacing the "teeth" grille from the previous years. The twin headlight banks that flanked the new badging now featured body-colored frames, replacing the chrome headlight surrounds from past years.

This 1961 is in excellent condition all around; mechanically, undercarriage, exterior, interior and paint. Over the last 37 an half years it has been owned by two different people. Matching number 283/230hp. Comes with original owner's manual. Piece of American History with this vehicle
