1961 Chevrolet Corvette 283 v8 Convertible

Another great thing about the 1961 cars is that Chevrolet started stamping the VIN production sequence into in the block, and so this one shows that it is a numbers-matching car. It even has a good classic style everywhere from the Corvette script valve covers to the Delco generator. The 283 cubic-inch small block was a great V8 to make the Corvette a true sports car, but when you want a driver's car, it's nice to have the right upgrades. So if you look a little closer, you can spot an Edelbrock intake, upgraded four-barrel carburetor, one-inch spacer, and an upgraded ignition. So now this motor fires up nicely and it inhales deeper. The four-speed manual transmission has a smooth feeling that also gives you firm control. Plus, the full driving experience is upgrade with front disc brakes, rear adjustable coilovers, and wider modern tires afforded by the wheel upgrade.
