Few automobiles embody the spirit of American performance and design like the 1960 Chevrolet Corvette, and this particular example stands as a beautifully sorted, highly documented, and investment-worthy offering. Finished in blue with iconic white coves over a striking red vinyl interior, it presents exactly as a proper C1 should—bold, elegant, and unmistakably American. The car was comprehensively refurbished around 2003 with attention paid to both cosmetic presentation and mechanical integrity, including a refinish in blue with white coves, installation of a new white convertible top, windshield, and weatherstripping, a fully redone interior in correct red vinyl with coordinated dash, carpets, and panels, a rebuilt engine, and refurbished gauges. The current owner acquired the car in 2023, and it is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, service records, refurbishment photos, and historical documentation along with period materials, all neatly organized in a three-ring binder that reinforces both provenance and long-term collectibility.
At its heart is the legendary 283ci V8, originally rated at 270 horsepower, paired with a four-speed manual transmission and Positraction limited-slip differential—an engaging and highly desirable combination. While originally equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors, the car is currently fitted with a single four-barrel setup for improved drivability, with the factory dual-quad intake and carburetors included in the sale. Additional highlights include a Hurst shifter, a transmission rebuilt in August 2025, a smooth and strong-running engine, and excellent road manners suitable for both touring and local driving. In 2025, the Corvette underwent a comprehensive headlight-to-taillight service totaling approximately $10,000, ensuring true turnkey condition. This extensive service included a new fuel pump, new flywheel and clutch assembly, transmission rebuild, replacement of shifter linkage bushings, all fluids replaced throughout, intake manifold conversion from dual quad to single quad for ease of use, new intake gaskets, studs, and valve cover gaskets, a new heater core and heater hoses, as well as new belts, hoses, ignition wires, and spark plugs—an investment that sets this example apart as a confidence-inspiring driver.
The exterior retains all hallmark styling cues of the 1960 model year, including quad headlights, split chrome bumpers, fender vents, dual exhaust outlets, and windshield washers, complemented by 15-inch steel wheels with spinner-style covers and Coker Classic whitewall radial tires with 2021 date codes. The chassis features independent front suspension with a rear leaf spring setup, and minor cosmetic touch-ups have been performed and are documented in the gallery. Inside, the restored cabin is both period-correct and inviting, featuring red vinyl bucket seats, a coordinated dash, carpets, and door panels, a Hurst shifter, Wonder Bar AM radio, lap belts, sunshades, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror. Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, temperature, oil pressure, and battery, while the odometer shows 20,000 miles, noted as TMU.
This Corvette is identified by chassis number 00867S104060 and is equipped with a 283ci V8, four-speed manual transmission, and Positraction rear end. Finished in blue with white coves over a red interior and paired with a white convertible top, it is currently located in Sugar Hill. Offered at $109,000, this example represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented, extensively serviced, and fully documented C1 Corvette that strikes the ideal balance between collector-grade presentation, mechanical readiness, and driver-friendly usability—a true blue-chip Corvette equally suited for show, touring, or long-term investment.
