1961 Corvette Convertible. I am selling this car for the family of the owner who has passed away.  He had owned the car for 20 years and the previous owner had it for 14 years.  Prior to me removing the car from their garage. it had been in storage for the last 10 years. It has now been fully serviced by a specialist and runs. drives and stops great.
This car has its original. numbers matching 283 / 230hp V8 with a 3 speed manual transmission. Oil pressure is excellent and ALL of the gauges work. The car was originally a black car with blue interior. It retains its original blue interior and is in very good condition for its age. The car was re-painted a 1972 Corvette blue in the late 1970s. The paint is in generally good condition. but shows its age in areas. These spots include some small cracks. chips and other defects. In all. still very presentable for a survivor.  There are some dents in the cove moldings on the passenger side. the the drivers side is quite good. I have a set of NOS moldings still in the wrappers that could go with the car.  the radio is an aftermarket replacement. but I have an original wonderbar radio and speaker that will go with the car.  The spare tire. jack and tools are in the trunk.  Even the owners manual is with the car.
The chassis is in very good condition with no signs of serious corrosion.  
The factory hard top is also in very good condition. although there is some crazing in the window. The soft top is white and the top mechanism is very good. The top is in good condition and the rear window is clear and flexible. Most of the weather strips on the top and doors appear to be original and are rather crispy.  
The Tachometer and the Clock are inoperative. Everything else works.
During its recent service it also received a new fuel tank and sending unit.
This car is a very solid. reliable. complete and original example.  
Please ask any questions you might have prior to bidding. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. The car is being sold "as is" without any warranties of any kind. I encourage you to inspect the car in person. Thank you for your interest.
