1961 Chevrolet Corvette in Riverhead, New York ID-163052
This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in Jewel Blue with white coves over a blue vinyl interior and is powered by a 327ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The seller purchased the car 10 years ago from a collector in Pennsylvania and has added approximately 1,500 miles during their ownership.
Features include a white convertible top, an M21 gearbox with a Hurst shifter, a four- barrel carburetor, and a FlameThrower ignition coil. This C1 is now offered with restoration photos, the original ignition shielding, and a clean New York inspection.
Exterior & Interior
The car is finished in Jewel Blue (611), a color offered only for the 1961 model year, accented by white side coves. The seller notes the car has been garage-kept and used sparingly for local shows on Long Island's North Fork. Equipment includes a white soft top and the iconic quad-headlight front end and round taillight design introduced for '61.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in blue vinyl with matching door panels and carpeting. A Hurst shifter has been installed in place of the factory unit, and the dashboard houses the primary instrumentation. The odometer currently shows 6,079 miles, approximately 1,500 of which were added by the current owner.
Drivetrain & Mechanicals
The 327ci V8 features a four-barrel carburetor and was reportedly serviced annually regardless of mileage. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an M21 four-speed manual transmission. Modifications include a FlameThrower ignition coil, though the factory ignition shielding is included in the sale. The engine bay is finished in the correct flat black.
Condition & History
The car underwent a body-off-frame restoration under previous ownership, and photos of the frame and assembly process are included. The seller notes that the car has received annual oil changes and mechanical inspections to ensure roadworthiness for seasonal driving.
