1961 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 13K ORIG MILES

THIS STUNNING 1961 CORVETTE WAS PURCHASED ON 3-27-61 BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER AS A WEEKEND RACER,, IT WAS BORN WITH A DUAL QUAD 283,4 SPEED, IN THE LATE 60'S THE 283 WAS REPLACED WITH A 302 DZ MOTOR. THE REAR END GEARS WERE ALWAYS 4.11'S ,,, THE CAR HAD GREAT RACING SUCCESS.. IT WAS RACED THROUGHOUT THE 60'S INTO THE MID 70'S,, IN THE LATE 60'S THIS COOL VETTE CHANGED HANDS WITH ONLY 5100 MILES,

IN THE EARLY 70'S THE CRAZY RIBBON PAINT JOB YOU SEE BEFORE YOU WAS APPLIED AT A COST OF OVER $3000,,,, ALSO DONE AT THE TIME WAS THE OLD SCHOOL INTERIOR ALONG WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER MOUNTED BETWEEN THE SEATS,,

THIS AWESOME VETTE WAS FEATURED IN MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS THROUGHOUT THE 60'S AND EARLY 70'S LOOKING ABOUT THE SAME AS IT LOOKS TODAY,, IN 1975 WITH ONLY 13000 ORIGINAL MILES, THE SECOND OWNER TUCKED THIS VETTE AWAY IN A SEALED ONE CAR GARAGE, COVERED WITH BLANKETS, SHEETS AND OLD CLOTHS.. NOT TO BE SEEN FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS,,, THE SECOND OWNER TRANSFERED OWNERSHIP TO A FAMILY MEMBER IN 2005, THE PA ***LE READS 13000 ACTUAL MILES,,, MONTHS LATER FAMILY MEMBERS FINALLY DECIDED TO ENTER THE GARAGE.. AFTER THEY REMOVED ALL THE COVERS, BLANKETS ETC,, A BEAUTIFUL, UNRESTORED, 13K MILE 61 CORVETTE ROADSTER EMERGED,,, SOME FAMILY MEMBERS ONLY KNEW OF THE CAR FROM OLD PHOTOS. THE CAR WAS TREATED AS A SHRINE AND NEVER DRIVEN, JUST TRAILERED TO EVENT FOR DISPLAY,, IN 2014 A DECISION WAS MADE TO SELL THE CAR...

TODAY THE CAR IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF A TIME CAPSULE,, WITH ONLY 13240 ORIGINAL MILES, THE CHROME AND TRIM AND TOP ARE ALL ORIGINAL TO THE CAR,, INSIDE THE TRUNK IS STUNNING, THE TOP IS MINT, CURRENT ENGINE IS A VERY DRIVABLE, NEWLY REBUILT 69 327CI WITH APPROX 340 HP.. THE TRANS IS A MUNCIE 4 SPEED, THE REAR NOW HAS A MORE DRIVABLE 3.08 GEAR..

THE CAR GOES DOWN THE ROAD GREAT AND IS A BLAST TO DRIVE. THIS CAR DRAWS LARGE CROWDS SO BE PREPARED,,,
IF YOU WOULD LIKE A VETTE WITH ALOT OF HISTORY THIS CAR IS A MUST SEE. I ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL ***LE ISSUED IN 1970, WE HAVE PICS FROM THE 60'S AS WELL... THIS CAR IS AWESOME $45000
