ABOUT THIS CAR
The 1961 Chevrolet Corvette presented is a remarkable example of the first generation of Corvettes, showcasing the enduring appeal and design evolution that has cemented the Corvette’s place in automotive history. The transition to four front headlights and a facelift in the later years of the first generation created what many enthusiasts consider to be among the most beautiful Corvettes ever produced. This particular white and blue two-tone roadster not only embodies that beauty but also carries a story of long-term ownership and meticulous care, making it an exceptionally rare and desirable survivor.
The car’s journey with the current owner, who purchased it in 1976 with just 32,000 original miles, adds a personal narrative of love and stewardship for this classic American sports car. The fact that it retains its original paint after so many years further elevates its status among collectible vehicles. Although the original motor was replaced with a period-correct 283 V8 and the transmission upgraded to a 1966 2-speed Powerglide, its overall originality, including the rare removable white hardtop and the Wonderbar radio, remains intact. These features, along with the black soft top, split chrome bumpers, analog clock, floor shifter, and blue vinyl interior, underscore the car’s authenticity and charm.
Running and driving exceptionally well, this Corvette stands as a testament to the timeless appeal of the C1 generation, offering versatility as a parade car, a showpiece at cruise-ins, or even as a candidate for a modern LS swap pro-touring project. Its story of long-term ownership reflects a deep connection between the car and its owner, highlighting the emotional bond that can form with such iconic vehicles.
This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of automotive artistry, celebrated for its design, history, and the story it carries. It is a tangible connection to the past and a bright example of the enduring legacy of the Corvette nameplate.
