[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yvZljIDgYw[/embed] You are
looking at a nice older frame on restored 1961 Corvette. The
correct Fawn Beige paint base/clear coat is very good in terms of
gloss, texture and quality although several years old it still
rates 8 of 10 quality. The interior is very nice and correct Fawn
as well. Door panels, carpet, steering wheel, dash and weather
strip are in good condition. Gauges are very nice with correct
6,500 RPM tach and original AM radio. The chrome and trim still
shine with no signs of any rust and rate 8 of 10. All the glass in
this car is in great condition with the windshield and driver side
replaced and not dated. Rear plexi glass in the hard top is in
great condition as well as the hard top. The NOM 283/270hp dual
four barrel engine is mostly original besides the casting number
3892657 block that indicates 67 Corvette or other Chevrolet lines.
Has correct intake, correct exhaust manifolds and carburetors that
are missing date tags. The frame is very solid and not showing any
signs of rust or corrosion. Overall this is a very nice older
restored 1961 Corvette with desirable options such as the
283/270hp, dual carbs, 4 speed with two tops and wide white wall
tires with correct hubcaps that is ready to drive and enjoy. Please
