This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette is a well-preserved example of the iconic first-generation C1 model, finished in a striking Maroon and White color combination with a black vinyl interior. It is powered by a 289ci V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and has been driven 82,393 miles since new. This car has been well-maintained and starts right up, running smoothly with no issues during operation. The car was purchased by the current owner from BaT in 2024, and while it has had some maintenance done, the owner is now looking to pass it on to someone who better appreciates the driving experience of a vintage Corvette.

​

Exterior

The car is in good condition overall, showing the marks of its age. The Maroon and White paint is generally presentable but features some swirl marks, chips, and a few cracks visible upon close inspection. It is a clean driver-quality example that remains show-worthy in the right setting. The chrome bumpers and trim are in good shape and show minor signs of wear, while the removable hardtop and white-wall tires enhance the car’s classic appearance.

Interior

The black vinyl interior has held up well over the years. The seats, door panels, and dash remain in excellent shape with no tears or significant wear. The trim is intact with nothing broken or missing. The car features working interior lights, a functional cigarette lighter/12v socket, and a clock that has been set to the delivery time zone. While the original radio is non-functional, everything else within the cabin operates as it should, including the manual window lifters, sun visors, and seat belts.

Performance & Maintenance

Under the hood is the original 289ci V8 engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine runs very well and the transmission shifts smoothly with no grinds or issues. The car starts up every time, without hesitation and provides an enjoyable driving experience. The suspension and braking systems are in good working order, making for a solid and reliable vehicle overall.

History & Documentation

The current owner has performed routine maintenance and addressed necessary repairs, but due to unfamiliarity with the driving characteristics of the Corvette, they have decided to sell it. This car is ready to be enjoyed by someone who understands the unique driving experience of a C1 Corvette. This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette would make a great addition to any collection or serve as a fun driver for a Corvette enthusiast. With its classic styling and strong mechanical condition, this car is ready for its next owner to enjoy.
