1961 Chevrolet Corvette - Top-Flight NCRS Winner - Frame-Off Restoration

1961 Chevrolet Corvette -- Additional Info:

This Top-Flight NCRS 1961 Corvette is, without any hesitation, one of the finest total frame-off C1 restorations on the market today. Beginning with a matching-numbers 283 245hp motor with dual-quads, tied to a Powerglide automatic transmission, this Corvette is one of only 242 built with such a configuration in 1961. The engine and transmission were professionally rebuilt during the restoration, with every item under the hood being replaced or rebuilt to NCRS specifications. The exterior was professionally painted in DuPont Chroma Base Black for the body with Nevada Silver for the coves. The body and paintwork on this vehicle far beyond expectation. The Al Knock Interior of the vehicle sets of what is the finest interior of any '61 on the market today. From the Wonderbar Radio throughout the dash, each piece of the interior is in like-new condition. This is, without any doubt, the finest matching numbers '61 currently being offered for sale.
1961 saw updated styling touches to the Corvette as it began its journey from the C1 to C2 body style. With new, more aggressive, rear styling, including redesigned bumper and taillights and a fine mesh front grill, the car took a bold new step forward. The '61 Corvette revealed the boat tail styling that would be the hallmark of the C2 models to be released two-years later. The final year of contrasting paint colors in the body coves of the corvette, this would be the last two-tone Corvette offered until the release of the 25th Anniversary Edition in 1978.
