1961 CORVETTE PROJECT

1961 Chevrolet Corvette Description

1961 Corvette. Car was in storage and fire collapsed material onto car, the fire did not originate from the car. Car was restored to show condition prior to damage shown. True mileage unknown.Chrome appears to be all show quality. Original 2x4 BBL. 4 speed, power windows. I believe it was originally Fawn Beige in color. I chose not to primer anything so you can actually see car's condition. Now has crate engine with few miles. Starts, runs, great. Brakes work. Sounds great, drivable, but should be trailered or flat bedded. Convertible top frame is good, soft top should be replaced, but usable as it is.The dash sustained the brunt of the damage,I have replacement pieces to use for repair. Needs windshield glass.Will need main wiring harness at the least.The car has a CLEAR title, registered in my name. I have the original engine block with numbers that match vin number. This information will be given to winning bidder only.The engine block had a crack and shows repair that was done by a reputable machine shop and needs cosmetic finish work, but it is the original block.
