1961 Chevrolet Corvette Tuxedo Black Convertible 283 V8 2 Speed Automatic

Body Off Restored Corvette Roadster 283 V8 245 HP Dual Quad V8 Powerglide /// With its ample parts supply, ease of ownership and classic, all-American appeal, this Corvette is the top dog cruiser that every golden era gearhead wants to park in their garage. Want to be admired by your neighbors, respected by your car club and envied by the folks at your office? Pick up the phone and pick up your new Corvette! The product of comprehensive restoration, this... impressive roadster looks straight out of the golden age of Americana. During its ground-up reboot, the car's sinuous body was completely stripped, thoroughly reconditioned and professionally massaged into a head-turning crowd pleaser. Once perfected, those neck straining aesthetics were highlighted in a sweet combination of Tuxedo Black and Sateen Silver 2-stage. And today, this Chevy's solid condition is typical of what we all wish to find in a nice, road-ready classic. Tilt the hood and you'll find a 283 cubic inch, dual-quad V8 that proudly displays a date-correct "DJ" assembly stamp next to a matching 100087 partial VIN. Consistently chosen over Rochester's much-hyped Ramjet fuel injection as GM's ultimate hot rod option, this stout small block is widely regarded as the starting point of Chevrolet's amazing performance legacy. Behind that hot motor, a tough Powerglide 2-speed twists torque through a rebuilt GM axle. Naturally, that drivetrain rolls on a fully restored double A-arm and solid axle suspension. At the corners of the car, standard drum brakes complement good handling characteristics with solid and confident stops. And power meets the pavement though Tuxedo Black steelies, which spin 6.70-15 Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewalls around traditional stainless wheel covers. Well restored and incredibly fun, this Corvette is a first class collector car that unabashedly champions the timeless swagger of '60s Americana.
