The 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is a rare sight, with only 10,939 produced, all in convertible form. This example comes equipped with both a hard top and soft top, making it even more desirable.
Finished in striking Tuxedo Black with Silver coves, this Corvette stands out—especially considering only 429 were built in this color combination. The black interior is well-preserved, complementing the exterior perfectly. Boyd Coddington wheels add a modern touch, while a modern AM/FM/USB radio enhances convenience.
Under the hood, the 327 V8 (casting number 3970010) is equipped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, HEI distributor, and Harrison aluminum radiator, ensuring strong performance and reliable cooling. A Muncie 4-speed manual transmission with a new clutch provides a thrilling driving experience.
The 1961 model year brought notable updates, including a new grille, body-colored headlight bezels, and a redesigned rear end with four taillights—a feature that would become a Corvette signature. The black-painted engine showcases Corvette finned valve covers, an air cleaner, and a red HEI distributor, adding to the classic styling under the hood.
With its rare color combination, powerful 327 engine, and mix of classic and modern upgrades, this Corvette is ready to turn heads at shows and on the open road!
