This example is just 1 of 385, so it's safe to say that this vintage 'Vette is pretty rare. In other words, most people probably don't see one one like this in their day-to-day activities. And with a restored cost of well over $100,000, one would also be hard-pressed to find one nicer.

The '61 model year was the last time GM offered the contrasting two-tone paint, with this one slathered in elusive Ermine White with silver coves. Factory two-tone paint wasn't offered again until 1978. Also, this classic comes with a matching factory hardtop. Inside, a full black interior shows just as beautiful as its exterior, and it comes equipped with a Wonderbar radio.

A tail-boat design was implemented in 1961, and it would later be used on the C2. Even more, this is the first year to feature four taillights, a distinct feature still found modern models.

Under the hood is a numbers-matching 283cui V8 engine topped with two four-barrel carburetors and good for 270-horsepower. Shifting power comes from a date-correct T10 4-speed manual transmission sending power down to the pavement through a 4.11 positraction rear end
