LOT #1041 - 1961 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 283/270 CONVERTIBLE – NO RESERVE
This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette was treated to a no-expense-spared body-
off restoration performed by the early Corvette specialists at Sierra Auto
Restoration in Sonoma, CA, at the end of 2006.
The exterior was stripped to the gel-coat then prepped and painted in Fawn
Beige Metallic with Ermine White coves; a matching Fawn Beige interior and
a new white top were installed to match.
All factory stainless steel has been hand-polished and all the chrome was
replated. The 270 horsepower 283ci V8 engine, along with its original AFB
dual four-barrel carburetors and the four-speed manual transmission were
completely rebuilt to GM specification.

The brakes, suspension, ball joints and all other steering components were
replaced with new. Likewise, all wiring and the harnesses are brand new,
while the original gauges and the Wonder Bar radio were completely rebuilt.
Only 50 test miles since the restoration.
