Details

This 1961 Fuelie Corvette in Fawn Beige with white coves is one of 1,462 Fuelies produced that year. This Corvette is Bloomington Gold Certified, underwent a meticulous frame-off restoration, and sports the original, fully rebuilt, numbers matching, 283/315hp fuel-injected engine with a 4-speed manual transmission and posi-traction. It features the ducktail trunk, Wonder Bar radio and matching Fawn interior. It has been driven on a regular schedule, and always kept in an air-conditioned environment. The complete restoration process was undertaken in 1996 by the current owner and preserved through numerous photos, invoices and memorabilia. This was a labor of love, with no expense spared, and has been cared for as a collector vehicle since. In 2016 all systems were professionally checked, and the fuel injection, cooling system and brakes were rebuilt to original standards. The judging process for achieving Bloomington Gold is also fully documented, including the original judging sheets. Some historical papers date back to 1971. All documentation goes with this collector car.
