General description :
1960 Chevrolet Corvette One of the most successful vehicles ever produced has to be the Corvette from Chevrolet. Known by many as "America's Sports Car" these vehicles whether classic or modern and brand new are extremely popular. This 1960 Vette belongs to the C1 generation which many regard as their favorite body style. It is a really nice looking classic that runs just as good as it looks. The original restoration took place in the late 80s/early 90s and is a car that has been slowly improved with time. It is an original White/Red color combo car and has had at least 1 repaint in its life. All of the chrome/trim pieces have a nice shine and are in great shape. The glass is in good shape as well. The car rides on its original wheels/hubcaps and are wrapped in wide white wall tires. The drivetrain on the car has been redone with a 327 V8 motor. The block is out of a 1969 Camaro and it has a 283 crank. Prior to being installed the motor was totally rebuilt. The engine compartment has a nice clean look and the motor is dressed up with a chrome air cleaner and finned Corvette valve covers. The engine is paired with a 4 speed manual transmission that moves through the gears smoothly. The car comes with a lot of receipts for parts and work done to it over the years. It is very well maintained and the type of vehicle that if it ever needs anything, it gets done. For instance a new gas tank and all new fuel lines were just installed. It is a great driving car and starts up smoothly. It doesn't smoke and is a very fun car to cruise around in. Aftermarket front disc brakes have also been added for extra stopping power. The interior is done in Red and has been replaced. The upholstery and carpet are all in excellent condition. Everything has been done in the stock original style. It has all of the factory dash components like the gauges, knobs, switches, and even the AM radio. In front of the driver sits the original steering wheel and on the floor a Hurst shifter. The trunk of the car offers plenty of extra storage space and has been kept clean and simple with a nice Red mat. These old Corvettes are quite collectable and show no sign of that changing in the future. They are a staple in many car collections and are without a doubt an piece of American Automotive history.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
