1961 Chevrolet Corvette

The Corvette had some pretty big changes for 1961, though still using the same body from 1960. It had a revised front grille, and now had a Duck Tail rear end with four tail-lights. The exhaust now exited under the car instead of through the bumper ports. The new rear end idea was taken from Bill Mitchells Stingray racer and the experimental XP-700 car.

Corvettes came with a tachometer, seatbelts, sunvisors, dual exhaust, carpeting, electric clock, and an outside rearview mirror.

There were 10,939 Corvettes made in 1961 with a base price of $3,934.00. This 1961 Corvette Convertible project car comes in the ultra rare one year only color of Jewel Blue with Ermine White coves and a Jewel Blue interior. This Corvette is powered by a 283ci -270hp- eight cylinder engine with dual quads and a 4-speed transmission.

When finished, this car is going to bring the happy owner lots of pride in having a fairly rare Corvette to show off at car shows.
