Description

CORVETTE CHEVROLET C1, 1960 1st production: 1960 Type: passenger car Body : CABR Serial number : 00867S109036 Energy : ES Displayed mileage : 51 124 km (not guaranteed) This sports car was born in an American market that at the time offered no small car of this type. General Motors boldly embarked on the production of this racer, which was presented to the public for the first time in 1953 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Entirely hand-built, its innovative body - for an American - is made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic. Our model is the brainchild of Zora Arkus-Duntov, the Russian-American engineer behind the adoption of the V8 engine on the Corvette. He was also responsible for the round, bubble-less headlamps, the hollowed-out sides with two-tone trim, and the removal of the fins. Our model, restored after an accident, comes with the "hard top" option and superb upholstery. Technical specifications Engine : - Type: naturally aspirated V8 - Displacement: 4.6 liters (283 cubic inches) - Power: Approx. 230 hp Performance : - Acceleration: 0 to 60 mph (approx. 0 to 96 km/h) in approx. 8 seconds - Top speed: Approx. 120 mph (193 km/h) Transmission: - 4-speed manual gearbox Dimensions: - Length: approx. 4.3 meters - Width: approx. 1.7 metres - Height: approx. 1.3 metres - Wheelbase: approx. 2.5 metres Weight: approx. 1,300 kg The engine has been successfully restarted, but as the car has been parked in the dry for several years, it needs a complete overhaul, including a check of the safety features. The paintwork is in a very good state. Structural elements show little visible corrosion. Meter in miles. Repair bill of approx. €31,000 dated March 12, 2020. Foreign registration document, FFVE file to be drawn up. With technical inspection.
