Sales were sluggish initially and the model came close to being axed, surviving thanks to Chevrolet's need to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. A V8 engine for 1955 and a radical restyle for 1956 consolidated the Corvette's position in the market, the model going on to become the world's best-selling and longest-lived sports car.This lovely Corvette was built in 1960 andsourced directly in the United States in 2015 withUK registration pending with theDVLA. It is finished in Ermine White with a matching hardtop, white soft top and red interior. It's described as beingin show condition and is a two-time winner of Cherrys Jubilee Event, Monterey. We believe the mileage of some 14,000 miles at the time of cataloguing may be due to zeroing of the odometer at the time of the restoration. Some would argue the car is a resto-modwith the fitment of the 383 NASCAR stroker engine which is mated to a Jerico 4-speed transmission. It is also fitted with Wildwood discs, Carrera adjustable coil-overshocks and ceramic coated headers.Beautifully presented and totally evocative of the early Sixties, this is astunning and truly unique show-winning car from a carefully curated collection.
