Description
\You are looking at a nice older frame on restored 1961 Corvette. The correct Fawn Beige paint base/clear coat is very good in terms of gloss, texture and quality although several years old it still rates 8 of 10 quality. The interior is very nice and correct Fawn as well. Door panels, carpet, steering wheel, dash and weather strip are in good condition. Gauges are very nice with correct 6,500 RPM tach and original AM radio. The chrome and trim still shine with no signs of any rust and rate 8 of 10. All the glass in this car is in great condition with the windshield and driver side replaced and not dated. Rear plexi glass in the hard top is in great condition as well as the hard top. The NOM 283/270hp dual four barrel engine is mostly original besides the casting number 3892657 block that indicates 67 Corvette or other Chevrolet lines. Has correct intake, correct exhaust manifolds and carburetors that are missing date tags. The frame is very solid and not showing any signs of rust or corrosion. Overall this is a very nice older restored 1961 Corvette with desirable options such as the 283/270hp, dual carbs, 4 speed with two tops and wide white wall tires with correct hubcaps that is ready to drive and enjoy.
