1960 Corvette- "Show and Drive"! - 283 CID Dual Quad* 4 Speed -This one is exceptional, with great options!
The first-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C1) represents one of the most iconic eras of American sports car design, and this 1960 example captures everything enthusiasts admire about the final years of the solid-axle Corvette. Finished in striking red with contrasting white coves, a matching red interior, and a white convertible top, the presentation is both unmistakably period-correct and exceptionally eye-catching. The combination delivers the quintessential early Corvette appearance - sporty, elegant, and unmistakably American.
Power comes from Chevrolet's legendary 283 cubic-inch V8 equipped with the highly desirable optional dual four-barrel carburetor setup, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Together, they provide the spirited driving experience that helped establish the Corvette as a true performance car in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Please note the following "documented numbers" with images to support their existence.

The addition of power windows and the Wonderbar radio further enhance the car's originality and desirability, reflecting the premium options available during the era.
This Corvette has clearly benefited from long-term enthusiast ownership. The current owner has cared for the car for more than 23 years as part of a respected private collection of classic Corvettes and he reports driving the car sparingly - approximately 200 to 300 miles annually - helping preserve its excellent overall condition and presentation. A glovebox sized notebook documenting mileage, dates fuel added, oil changes and maintenance is included. Showing just 7,800 miles on the odometer, the car presents as an exceptionally well-maintained and cherished example.
According to the seller, the Corvette was acquired shortly after completion of a comprehensive body-off restoration. Importantly, the sale includes an album documenting various stages of the "frame off" restoration process, including mechanical rebuilding, and repainting, offering valuable visual history into the quality of the work performed. Numerous receipts for maintenance, improvements, and ongoing care accompany the vehicle as well, reinforcing the level of stewardship this Corvette has received over the years.
The result is a Corvette that perfectly embodies the phrase "show and drive." It possesses the visual impact and detailing expected at local and regional shows while remaining fully sorted and enjoyable for touring, weekend events, and spirited top-down motoring. Rather than undertaking the expense, time, and uncertainty of restoring a project car, this example represents the opportunity to purchase a beautifully finished and carefully maintained Corvette that can be immediately enjoyed from the moment it enters its next collection or new home.
Whether admired for its timeless styling, its desirable dual-quad drivetrain, or its documented restoration history, this 1960 Corvette stands as an outstanding example of one of America's most celebrated sports cars.
