Description of 1961 Chevrolet Corvette White Coves |
|
Owner is a friend who is downsizing and must sell his beloved '61 Stock-original Jewel Blue Corvette.It's a truly incredible car that is new in all respects. Please know the owner is not open to any trades please. This vehicle presents in top-notch condition in all areas needing very little to be near perfect. The list of new parts attached below is incredible and should support the pride in maintenance for this vehicle's care. For all of its benefit, this is a non-numbers matching vehicle in the sense that the original engine block was cracked at the time of purchase and was not saved. The replacement engine is correct for this vintage. This is a true TN car. EXTERIOR: Jewel Blue Metallic with white Coves. Exterior is a strong #9 out of a possible 10 for it's quality and brilliance. Paint is exceptionally well cared for. Bright work is complete and in good condition for its age. Bumper chrome is near perfect. Panel alignment is good with no collision history evident. There is no hard top. INTERIOR: As you might expect, the interior is stunningly beautiful and in top condition. Both seats are in excellent shape with the only "wear" being a small upper corner of passenger seat where the top hardware scuffed it. Otherwise they work as they should. All guages/instrumentation work as they should. Carpets are in great like-new condition exhibiting only minor soiling at time of inspection (easy to detail) As much of the interior is new, the door armrest(s) have not yet been installed, but are included. Odometer is likely beyond the mechanical limits indicating 116k MECHANICAL: Vehicle just had routine maintenance accomplished within the last week. No unusual sounds, odors or leaks etc. Engine roars to life true to 1961 and has been fully rebuilt. No unusual fluids "splashed" onto the hood underside etc. Engine bay is clean and well-maintained. Transmission is a 4 speed Manual Transmission that shifts as it should. It too has been rebuilt by a recongnized individual who is a consultant to NASCAR etc. This is a NON-AC vehicle.Magnaflow Exhaust System OTHER: What else is there you ask? Not much---------but in the spirit of transparency, the Convertible top is new but when lowered for the 1st time a "burr-edge" on the cap screw put a small hole in the left sail panel area. This is still weather resistent and doesn't detract greatly from its overall presentation. Car looks best with top down anyway for its iconic status. Rt Passenger Seat Scuff has been noted in INTERIOR section.
