Pristine 1960 Corvette C1

Pristine 1960 Corvette C1 Rare factory “drag pack” You are looking at one of the most beautiful automobiles in the world.  Finished in a sparkling Ermine White with Sateen Silver side coves. this car looks like it was just driven off the show room floor.  She is a numbers-matching car. and underwent a painstaking frame-off restoration (see below for catalog of all major mechanical parts).
As if her beauty weren't enough. this particular build was informally called the “drag pack”.  This car was delivered from the factory with a race-ready high lift camshaft and solid lifters. plus radio delete. sun visor delete. and hard top only configuration (the pristine fiberglass body was never even drilled for the soft top brackets).  It is hard to find out how many were made. but it is clearly a very rare combination.
She originated in Anchorage Alaska. where she was rarely driven since purchased new by an oral surgeon in 1960.  From 1992 - 2003. she underwent an 1. 00 hour restoration. and every surface and fastener was restored to factory new condition.  The engine runs like new. and has had less than 10 hours run-time since the rebuild.
The “white princess" also comes with her own photo album. including over 100 pictures covering every aspect of her restoration. including the frame and undercarriage. drive train. the pristine body (with GM assembly markings visible on the inside). and final finishing.
Additionally. I have collected a replica of the original Operations Manual. the GM Factory Assembly Manual. and numerous original magazine ads.
I believe the car is complete. including the hard top. the spare tire and tools. a period battery in the box. and even a replica cartridge oil filter.
