Details

One family has owned this 1960 Chevrolet Corvette custom convertible since 1960 and it underwent an 1,800-hour family restoration project, showing 15 miles since completion in 2018. With a total frame-off restoration, the frame was sand-blasted and then powder-coated. It is powered by a fuel-injected LT1 crate V8 engine. Under the hood is a wire-tucked chromed engine bay, aluminum heads, serpentine belt system and power rack & pinion steering. Other mechanical highlights include a C4 Corvette front suspension as well as C4-style on the front and Wilwood disc brakes on the rear. The engine is backed by a 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission with a Lokar shifter. Power goes to a 12-bolt posi-traction rear end with 3.73 gears. It also features Hooker headers and an all-new exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers. It is equipped with C-clip Eliminator coilover shocks mounted next to Boyd Coddington 17-inch chrome wheels wrapped in new BFGoodrich Advantage tires. This Corvette features new glass and mirrors, all of the chrome was rechromed, stainless trim was restored, and the restored hardtop is on the car. With a black exterior and Fawn leather upholstery, the car's interior has all-new dash pad, carpet, seat belts and radio, along with a Vintage Air system, heat and defrost, and a RainGear electric windshield wiper system. It also has been treated to a restoration of all gauges, a new electric-controlled tachometer, new stainless-steel gas tank with fuel pump inside and a new red-top Optima battery. The assembly manual and other books are included with the sale.
