1961 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Sting Ray Roadster 2dr Man 4sp 283ci/270HP - Matching "CE" Numbers - ONLY 1 Collector Owner in the US - 1 ONLY here in Australia - Unrestored

We are very pleased to offer to you this great opportunity in securing this stunning and iconic 1961 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Stingray Convertible full matching numbers unrestored exterior and a 1 owner from new in the US with her second owner personally sourcing and imported this time machine C1 directly of the first owner to Victoria and has been on club rego since landing here. This iconic C1 Corvette has been lovingly owned from new with est 81,000mls travelled believed to be accurate with her original engine CE. Her original 283ci/270HP with her 4BBL Single carb are all in great working order and she is mated to her Hurst 4 Speed manual gearbox married to her LSD. The last year of the C1 was a one of year as the General Motors executives decided to review some of Mitchell‘s designs and made the decision to “green light” a restyling of Corvette for the 1961 model year. Bill Mitchell (Corvette Designer) had begun the process of developing a prototype for an all new Corvette that would go on to become known as the “Mako Shark I.” He had also championed a team of Chevrolet designers in developing both cosmetic and performance upgrades to the existing C1 body styling. The most pronounced of Mitchell’s changes was the introduction of a freshened rear end design. The “ducktail” design (as it has become known amongst Corvette enthusiasts) was virtually lifted from the Stingray race car as well as Mitchell’s XP-700 show car but bonus from a practicality standpoint, the redesign of the rear end of the Corvette C1/2 enabled an increase in available luggage space by twenty percent (20%). The new rear end also showcased a pair of small, round taillights on each side of the license plate recess. (These re-designed tail lights would become synonymous with Corvette and would be a standard feature (in one form or another) on all future generations of Corvette).

This never to be repeated again opportunity is upon you now and if your in the market for a superb period correct highly preserved '61 C1 as she was sold new and still in LHD configuration to ensure future values especially being sold back to the US as prices have been strong for the "right" C1 and C2 Corvette's. A head turning iconic Stingray finished in her original paintwork of Black Tuxedo with Santeen Silver Coves over her stunning retrimmed but original color of Stingray Red cockpit. With recent mechanical and service completed including upgrades for useability a new larger radiator coolant hoses and full flush, oil pan, valve cover, new exhaust system complete and alternator conversion. She is an absolute pleasure to drive and creates smiles where ever you go and causes conversations every time you park. With all period correct gauges and interior cabin finishes as she left the factory back in Sept 1961 it really is a sense of an occasion every time you get behind the wheel and the assurance of her strong pedigree assures your investment. This is a great addition to any US Muscle car collection or enthusiast looking for a fantastic iconic period correct summer cruiser at massive value considering the cost of importing/current exchnage rates or restoring such a prime example, for the value she represents why would you bother she is ready to go now.
