This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in Jewel Blue exterior paint with Ermine White coves over a blue interior and is powered by a 283ci V8 with 230hp paired with a Borg-Warner T10 four-speed manual transmission. The stamping on the engine pad is a CQ suffix and is consistent with a 283ci V8 rated at 230 horsepower and designated for a 1961 Corvette with a four-barrel carburetor and a manual transmission. Features include a white soft top, 15″ steel wheels, heater and a Wonder Bar AM radio. Steel 15 inch wheels feature simulated knock-off spinner covers and are mounted with Diamond Back whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes. The interior features two bucket seats upholstered in blue vinyl. Interior equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror, heater, a Wonder Bar AM radio, and an analog clock. The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,300-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, amperage, oil pressure, and fuel level.
