1961 Chevrolet
Corvette C1
Roman Red, Ermine White coves, and a black interior: a first-generation Corvette with unmistakable California character.
Ask about this car ↗A SHAPE THAT NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION
Designed to
turn a moment.
Long hood, low stance, twin headlamps, and the sweep of the Ermine White coves: the C1 Corvette captures the visual confidence of early 1960s America. Few cars draw the same attention; the shape invites waves, smiles, and conversations.
Our family has carefully preserved and maintained this Corvette across generations. Finished in Roman Red over a black interior, it is a piece of American motoring history we are excited to share. Whether it appears at a wedding, a special event, a photoshoot, or a production, it brings its own story into the setting.
With a 327-cubic-inch V8, four-barrel carburetor, and four-speed manual transmission, the car offers a direct, mechanical connection to the road. There are no modern driving modes or touchscreens—just the sound of a classic V8 and the feel of a true driver’s car.
This vintage vehicle has a manual transmission, manual steering, and manual drum brakes; it rewards attentive drivers. The car is not represented as numbers-matching or concours-restored. Specific condition, operating requirements, and permitted use are discussed for each inquiry.
