1961 Chevrolet Corvette convertible

• Silver paint on the convertible body presents highly polished on a showroom turntable, with bright chrome bumpers, grille teeth and trim and no flaws visible.
• Custom polished multi-spoke wheels with low-profile tires replace any period wheel and tire combination.
• The interior is fully finished in red leather, with unmarked pleated seats, red carpets, black ribbed floor mats and a red steering wheel.
• The dash carries modern round gauges set into the red fascia, not period 1961 instruments.
• The engine bay holds a modern 6.2 LT1 V8 with gray Corvette-lettered covers, not a 1961 engine, and the bay is immaculately detailed.
• The trunk is finished entirely in red carpet and presents empty and unmarked.
• The gray canvas soft top is shown raised and looks clean with a clear rear window, and a photo album of build and paint-shop pictures is pictured.
• No underside photos in the set, so the chassis, frame and restomod underside work can't be judged, and no odometer reading is clearly shown.

Money: At $269,900 the money buys a show-finished silver-over-red restomod convertible whose photos prove the paint, trim and modern LT1 installation look superb; budget nothing for cosmetics on this evidence, but the chassis and underside build quality and any originality or numbers evidence can't be judged from these photos, and that is what matters most at this price.
