This Chevrolet Corvette C1 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in black with silver coves over a black vinyl interior and powered by a carbureted 283ci V8 paired with a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Equipment includes full-face wheel covers and whitewall tires, a power top and windows, an AM radio, air conditioning, and power steering and brakes. The car is said to have been refurbished in 2002 and was acquired by its current owner in 2013. This C1 Corvette is offered with manufacturer’s literature, books and manuals, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
