DESCRIPTION
1960 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
For consignment, a 1960 Chevrolet Corvette convertible wearing Tuxedo Black, which is appropriate as this is a car dressed for formal occasions. Oh sure, you could drive it to cruise night without repercussions, but this stunning example may deserve more of a show spotlight. This example gracing our Hallowed Halls is showing 61,530 miles which cannot be verified to be actual as the title reads mileage exempt.
Exterior
A cove of Sateen Silver gets its border trim from the wheel opening which then encircles the feature and boomerangs right back to the wheel in an unmistakable design element that is truly legendary. Within that cover is the triple barred faux fender vents right behind the crossed flags Corvette emblem. The rest of the Vette is covered in two stage Tuxedo black which enables the chrome toothed grille, headlight rings and their trailing trim, and chrome bumpers pop with contrast. In back, the bumpers provide the exit points for the dual exhaust while the flush, bullet shaped tail lights contour to the peaks of the fenders and flank a slightly domed decklid. This is still a first generation Corvette so Chevy had not yet settled on the quad tail light setup. 15-inch wheels have the proper caps with faux knockoffs and wear 205/75R15 white wall tires. The window trim and other metalwork, emblems, paint, and black canvas top are all in fantastic condition. The only imperfection we note is some cracking paint near the bumper as it wraps around towards the front wheel.
Interior
Stunning, flawless, mind blowing are just a few words to describe this interior of red. The doors have a wonderful section of machined stainless that swoops from front of the door to the back and cradles the armrest/door pull. Bomber style red vinyl buckets are cradled by the rear cowl. Between the seats is a vertical cascading storage box which runs to the central hump and has stainless shiny edging encircling it and the seats. Upfront, the dash which is the most beautifully designed aspect of this car has all necessary gauges with black fields and white lettering, surrounded by chromed bezels, and embedded into deep steel formed circles that are topped by a semicircular speedometer. All this is fronted by a 3 spoke, red rimmed steering wheel in drilled metal. The top of the dash is a combination of fiberglass and some padded vinyl which has the same swooping effect as the door panels. On its way to the center console, a newer AM/FM cassette radio is noted along with a clock. Flooding the floor is a gorgeous red with peppering of black loop pile carpeting in great shape. A Hurst shifter with a white ball topper sits proudly in the center of the driveshaft hump between the seats that also sports the ash receptacle.
Drivetrain
So far, the judges are loving the car. Let\'s pop the hood and get a score. It\'s very clean underneath with the intake showing some patina. This is a matching numbers283ci V8, but our crack staff cautions that the stamping and broaching on the block are somewhat suspect. Dual 4-barrel carburetors sit on top and a Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels and 3.08 gears. Drum brakes occupy the front and rear wheels.
Undercarriage
Very clean underneath with no surface rust to speak of. Outside of the mud splatter, the underside shows as driver quality plus. We note some oil sling from the rear U-joint and it\'s evident on the two stock style mufflers that flank it. Those mufflers are part of the dual exhaust system which as noted, end epically as part of the rear bumper. Coil spring suspension is equipped up front and leaf springs in the rear.
Drive-Ability
It runs as good as it looks and takes us on a trip to 1960 as we loop the test route in this classic American sports car. The V8 provides plenty of power and a sweet sound and the chassis tracks well and handles great. Everything from the radio to the lights to the gauges functioned as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Okay C1 enthusiasts and Vette lovers, this one\'s for you. A show quality 1960 in a great spec with striking good looks. This one was born at the St. Louis plant in the Show Me state. Well, if this car could talk, it would say, \"show me!\". Put it away in your collection and save it for fair weathered weekends. But you don\'t have to take our advice, it\'s your car! Or, it will be after you call 888-227-0914 today!
