This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette showcases one of only 855 dual-tone paint combinations produced that year, with its distinctive metallic blue body and crisp white coves creating an unforgettable silhouette. The athletic lines flow from front to back, enhanced by a white vinyl convertible top that adds to its open-air appeal. Precision-crafted chrome adorns both front and rear bumpers, while the signature stainless trim remains in remarkable condition. The stance is perfectly balanced on 15-inch steel wheels with classic Corvette covers and spinners, wrapped in GT Radial 205/75R15 tires for superior grip.
The black vinyl interior provides a purposeful, driver-focused environment. The bucket seats offer excellent support during spirited driving sessions. A stock steering wheel faces a clear set of gauges in the padded dash, while the T10 floor shifter falls naturally to hand. The AM radio with wonder bar and functioning clock maintain period authenticity. An Atomic EFI control screen mounted in the passenger footwell adds modern fuel management capability while staying discreet.
A fresh 2022 Blueprint 350 V8 producing 368 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque gives this C1 serious performance credentials. The powerplant pairs with a T10 4-speed manual transmission for maximum driver engagement. Front disc brakes provide strong stopping power. The dual exhaust system produces an authoritative tone through aftermarket mufflers. The independent front suspension and rear solid axle with leaf springs deliver classic Corvette handling characteristics.
