Details

This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is great example of an iconic American classic sports car. It was the product of a high show-quality restoration. It's currently listed in the Corvette C1 Registry. In 1960, a total of 10,261 Corvettes were produced, of which only 766 were painted Horizon Blue. This example was produced on May 6, 1960, in St. Louis, MO. It was ordered with a Horizon Blue and Ermine White coves exterior, with a white soft-top and a blue interior. It's equipped with the following options: heater (101), AM radio (102), parking brake alarm (107), courtesy lights (108), windshield wipers (109), temperature-controlled radiator fan (121), sunshades (261), 6.70x15 whitewall tires (290), two-tone paint (440), 283/270hp engine with two 4-barrel carburetors (469C). It was purchased on June 20, 2000, by its last owner, who lives in Barrington, RI. This gentleman treated the car to the best of care during his 23 years of ownership. It was primarily used as an occasional driver and show car. The exterior appearance is simply stunning with its stylish design and beautiful color combination. The body is very straight with excellent gap lines throughout. It was refinished its original factory correct color of Horizon Blue with Ermine White coves. The ocean-deep paint was recently detailed to a brilliant shine. It was outfitted with a brand-new white soft-top that was stamped with an April 1960 date. The front windshield and door glass are new with stamps. Everything on the exterior was restored or replaced, such as the glass trim, driver's-side mirror, fender trim and headlight bezels, front grille, front split bumpers, license plate frame, door handles, cove trim, antenna, rear taillight bezels and lenses, rear split bumpers and emblems throughout. It's equipped with quadruple T3 headlights. The car sits perfectly on 15-inch blue-painted steel wheels with spinner hubcaps. The wheels are wrapped with American Classic 6.70-R15 whitewall tires. An extra set of 15-inch blue-painted steel wheels with BFGoodrich Silvertown 6.70-15 4-ply whitewall tires are included for judging purposes. The interior was restored in its original factory correct color of Blue, which is gorgeous - especially with a matching exterior. The blue padded and painted dash houses the factory black gauges. The three-spoke steering wheel frames a sweeping 160-mph speedometer and tachometer. The cabin features two bucket seats, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, seat belts, carpeted floor mats and an Antique Automobile 1959-60 Corvette Wonder Bar AM/Bluetooth radio. The fully restored trunk compartment has a correct-style rubber trunk mat. It's equipped with a full spare tire, along with a jack and tools. The engine compartment is highly detailed with many correct parts. It's powered by a period-correct 283/270hp V8 engine. It was completely rebuilt with the correct Duntov high-performance camshaft and solid lifters. It's outfitted with the two Carter WCFB 4-barrel carburetors. The engine is cooled by the top tank radiator, which is unique to the 1960 model year. It's also equipped with a temperature-controlled radiator fan, which is a unique option for the 1960 model year. The engine breathes through a correct high-performance exhaust system with front crossover. The rear tailpipes were slightly extended through the rear split bumpers to keep it clean. The engine is coupled to a T10 4-speed transmission. The undercarriage is also highly detailed with many correct parts. The rear stabilizer bar was first introduced in 1960. Some additional items, such as a car cover, are included. This car was recently serviced and detailed, which is documented with an invoice that's included. From the MS CLASSIC CARS Collection. **TITLED AS A 1960 CHEVROLET RECON** **SOLD ON BONDED TITLE**
