1961 Chevrolet Corvette

For sale in our Chicago showroom is this 1961 Chevrolet Corvette RestoMod. The perfect roadster for both short cruises and long road trips! It has 2,334 miles since its completion in 2014 and has been stored in a climate controlled garage when not on the road. In widely popular RestoModding, this 1961 Corvette (number 27 off the line) is a one of a kind blend of classic and modern that stands above the rest. No expense or detail was spared in this $200k+ professional body off restomod that strived to maintain the original look of this C1 while incorporating modern reliability, performance, and comfort. The entire car was stripped down and every nut, bolt, component, and part was rebuilt, replaced, or refinished from the ground up. A quick walk around the outside of the car showcases a beautiful 7 layer crystal red tint coat, white coves, and white soft top with a look true to original. The only telltale deviation from circa 1961 is the custom Borla exhaust under the rear bumper. Following the exhaust through the custom shorty headers you’ll find a 430 HP LS3 chromed to the nines with covers painted to match. A Kiesler 5-speed manual transmission and posi are a great complement to the power plant. A Jim Meyer Racing independent front suspension with disc brakes provides upgraded handling and stopping for this little rocket with 2 seats. The interior maintains the classic beauty and simplicity of the era while blending in modern comforts. Restored gauges, Wonderbar radio, and quartz clock maintain the original look and feel of the interior. Custom leather seats and Vintage Air provide a comfortable ride. A custom fiberglass center console provides a home to the power window controls, small storage compartment, phone tray, and cup holder for longer drives. A Bluetooth enabled Alpine receiver hidden away in the glove box provides tunes when an alternative to the exhaust notes is preferred. Custom leather dash, door panels, and trunk round out the detailed interior. Finally, a K40 with all the trimmings provides additional peace of mind for heavier footed drivers. Options include: air-conditioning, AM/FM radio with CD, manual convertible top, hub caps, power windows, seat belts, leather interior, and white walls. This classic piece of American muscle with modern updates can be yours with one phone call. Don't let it get away!!!
