Details
This matching-numbers Fuelie Corvette convertible received a 35-year, nut-and-bolt, frame-off restoration to original specifications and has less than 200 miles since completion. It is documented as an original Fuelie car with the original 'Fuel Injection' side emblem, and the vehicle has all the identifying engine compartment elements specific to the Corvettes that were factory-original fuel-injected cars. It’s powered by a professionally rebuilt 283/315hp V8 fuel-injected engine paired to a 4-speed manual transmission with a 4:11 posi-traction rear axle. During the restoration process, the body was removed from the frame, professionally stripped and then professionally painted. The frame and suspension components were stripped, repaired and repainted as original. All suspension components were replaced or restored, and a restored gas tank with all-new hoses and lines has been installed. The chrome was professionally rechromed, and it rides on original-style wide whitewall tires. This Corvette is finished in Roman Red lacquer paint with
Ermine White coves over a new Al Knoch red interior. The interior features new carpet and padded dash pad. The factory-original AM Wonder Bar radio, instruments, gauges and clock have been restored. It is topped by a professionally installed new white soft-top and frame. It is one of 1,462 Corvettes with fuel injection produced in 1961, and this Fuelie was awarded the NCRS Top Flight award, receiving a score of 94.8% out of the 4,510 points judged.
