283ci V8 with Rochester Fuel Injection Ported Cylinder Heads Four-Speed Manual Transmission Maroon Paint w/White Coves White Soft Top Black Vinyl Upholstery 15″ Steel Wheels w/Simulated Knock-Off Spinner Covers Traction Bars Chrome Bumpers Wonder Bar Radio
This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is one of a reported 1,462 examples equipped with the 315-horsepower fuel-injected 283ci V8 for the model year.
The car was purchased by the father of the seller’s spouse in 1992, after which the engine was rebuilt and the cylinder heads were ported by NHRA builder Joe Mondello.
The car was stored in the mid-1990s, and after it was inherited by the seller in 2021, the fuel tank was replaced, the fuel system was serviced, and the brakes were overhauled.
After the engine was started at that time, the fuel system was drained, and the engine has not run since 2021.
The fiberglass body is finished in maroon and white and features a white soft top and chrome trim.
