1961 CORVETTE C-1 CUSTOM RESTOMOD MAGAZINE CAR

Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1961

This 61 corvette belongs toa friend and customer of mine and he has decided to sell it. It is a 1961 corvette that has had a 1957 nose fitted to the body. All the bodywork was done by a pro and after 4 years there has not been an issue. The body was painted white with blue coves and blue stripes. There is a soft top that is also white and is in new condtion. There is also a hardtop that is white with matching blue stripes. The paint is in great shape we also installed a clear film over the front of the nose just above the grill to stop the rock chips since this car is made to drive. The interior is also new and has vintage a/c to keep you cool. We also installed power windows an am/fm with mp3/ipod hook up a power antenna. The front end suspension was updated with a fatman stage II power rack and pinnon set up and this changed the whole way this car rides and handles it's like a modern car and with the 4 wheel disc brakes it stops much better than it did when it was new. That's important because the motor is not the original 283 but a gm performance plus 350 and with the petronix ignition system has a little over 300 hp to make this corvette really go. The transmission is a tremec 5 speed we got from american powertrain and once we installed that in place of the old 4 speed the car became a dream to drive. The car needs nothing at this point just someone to get in an enjoy it. It was a feature car in VETTE magazine in 2013. Everytime this car goes to an event it turns heads and get awards. The pictures really do not show how well built this car is. If you would like to see it please let me know and we can set something up. Thanks for looking and please ask anything you need to know.
