Featured on AutoHunter is this 1961 Chevrolet Corvette 4-speed, which underwent a total restoration. It’s powered by a Chevrolet 350ci connected to a four-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Roman Red and Ermine White, and equipped with a white soft top over a red vinyl interior, this C1 is offered by the seller in Utah with a body-colored hardtop and a clear title.
The Roman Red body features chrome bumpers and trim, Ermine White coves, wraparound windshield, and dual exhaust outlets. A white soft top with a plastic rear window covers the passenger compartment and can be stored under a body-color tonneau cover. The included Roman Red hardtop has a glass rear window.
A set of 15-inch wheels with full covers and 6.70 Firestone whitewall tires connect this first-generation Vette to the road.
The cockpit features red vinyl bucket seats with lap belts. Other equipment includes a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, dash-mounted rearview mirror, and Wonderbar AM radio with Bluetooth module, though the latter is currently inoperable.
Instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, 7,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the oil pressure, temperature, battery, and fuel level. The odometer shows 60,439 miles, but the title of this vehicle indicates it’s mileage-exempt. According to the seller, the speedometer needle needs to be replaced.
Under the front-hinged hood, the original 283ci V8 has been replaced with a 350 with a four-barrel carburetor, which is connected to a four-speed manual transmission.
An independent front suspension with coil springs, plus a rear end with solid axle and leaf springs, help this Corvette hold the road.
You can take this 350-powered 1961 Chevrolet Corvette 4-speed on your next summer cruise, but you have to place the winning bid on it first. Do that before the auction ends on Thursday, July 3, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. (PDT).
