HERE WE HAVE A VERY NICE, RUST FREE, 1961 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THIS BEAUTY IS ALL ORIGINAL AND NUMBERS MATCHING 283 / AUTO. THE AUTOMATIC CARS ARE HARD TO FIND. I LOOKED FOR A WHILE FOR THIS ONE, SO MY WIFE COULD GET IN IT ANYTIME, AND DRIVE WITHOUT HASSLE. THE CAR WAS REPAINTED AT SOME POINT LONG AGO. THE PAINT LOOKS GOOD, BUT DOES HAVE SOME BLEMISHES WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSELY. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP, WEATHER STRIPPING, DASH PAD, AND WINDSHIELD WERE REPLACED IN 2004, AND STILL LOOK NEW. I INSTALLED A CORRECT LOOKING RADIO WITH USB PORT. THE ORIGINAL RADIO WAS REMOVED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE CAR. THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED 11/11. OTHER THAN THAT THIS CAR IS PRETTY MUCH THE WAY IT LEFT THE FACTORY IN 1961. SHE HAS CLOCKED 77,990 MILES. THE LAST TIME THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE HEATED AND COOLED GARAGE, I DROVE IT ON A 1800 MILE TRIP WITH THE TOP DOWN AND WITH ZERO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN A TIRE ISSUE. SHE GOT A BRAND NEW SET OF COKER W.W.W. AND AN ALIGNMENT AS SOON AS I GOT HOME. SHE DIDN'T USE ANY OIL EITHER. ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WORK. THE TACH WAS MAKING NOISE, SO I DISCONNECTED THE CABLE UNDER THE HOOD. PROBABLY NEEDS REBUILT. THE CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY. THE HEATER WORKS GOOD. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TROUBLE FREE C-2 VETTE, THAT YOU CAN GET IN AND GO TO THE LOCAL CRUISE IN, DINNER, OR A ROAD TRIP, THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR. SHE IS NOT A SHOW QUEEN, BUT I GET LOTS OF COMPLIMENTS, AND THUMBS UP EVERYTIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. I WOULDNT BE ASHAMED AT A LOCAL SHOW EITHER. I WOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE. SHE GETS 17 MPG TOO. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR NEED A SPECIFIC PICTURE, FEEL FREE TO ASK. I WOULD ONLY BE INTERESTED IN TRADING FOR SOME TYPE OF RESTO ROD WITH SEATING FOR 4 (PREFER GM). NO PROJECTS. I DON'T NEED ANY MORE BOATS, ATV'S, CAMPERS, HARLEYS. I HAD NO INTENTIONS OF SELLING THIS CAR, BUT A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY HAS MADE IT A COLLECTOR'S PIECE, AND I WANT TO DRIVE MY MACHINES.
