This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette was refurbished in the 1990s and earned the Triple Crown Award in 1997 after it was honored with NCRS Top Flight awards, a Bloomington Gold Certificate, and a Chevy/Vettefest Nationals Gold Spinner Award. Finished in turquoise with white coves over a coordinated interior, the car is powered by a 283ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a white soft top, a removable body-color hardtop, 15″ steel wheels, lap belts, and a Wonder Bar AM radio. Acquired by the current owner in 2002, this C1 is now offered in California on dealer consignment with copies of awards and a clean Arizona title.
The seller notes that the car was refinished in Tasco Turquoise with Ermine White coves as part of the refurbishment under prior ownership. It is equipped with a white soft top, a removable body-color hardtop, quadruple headlights, split chrome bumpers, fender vents, and dual exhaust outlets.
Body-color 15″ steel wheels feature spinner-style covers and are mounted with Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires. The car came equipped from the factory with an independent front suspension and semi-elliptical rear leaf springs.
The cabin houses two bucket seats trimmed in turquoise vinyl along with lap belts, a Wonder Bar AM radio, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a sweeping 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, battery charge, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer on this Chevrolet Corvette shows 58k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 283ci V8 features two Carter four-barrel carburetors and was factory rated at 245 horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
