The Corvette exterior appearance stayed the same for 1960 with the heavy teeth in the grill along with it being the final year for the formed taillights in the body, and chrome forward headlight bezels. An aluminum radiator with top tanks was introduced this year to aid in better engine cooling. It was available for the carbureted 270hp and 290hp fuel-injected engines only. For many collectors and enthusiasts, itâs the two-tone paint scheme that highlights these incredible body lines that make them so desirable! We are very pleased to offer this 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible finished in Honduras Maroon/ Ermine White coves over Black Vinyl interior with matching Black convertible soft top. Powered by its numberâs matching CU-code 283ci/270 horsepower V8 engine mated to a 4-speed Borg Warner T10 manual transmission and AP-code 4.11 Posi-Traction rear axle, this beautifully tuned Corvette has no trouble navigating the open-road! Options include heat/defrost, fully polished wheel covers, newer Goodyear Custom Super Cushion wide whitewall radial tires measuring 205/75R15, original pushbutton Wonderbar AM radio, carpeted floor mats, and added period seatbelts. This vehicle comes from recent Missouri ownership where it was maintained and enjoyed by a Corvette enthusiast since August 2020. The car was a virtually untouched, all original example upon acquisition and driven as a weekend cruiser on fair weather days during the summer months adding approximately 1500 miles to the odometer. In 2023, the original paint was professionally stripped with the body prepped from a complete respray in its factory-appointed color and driven only 100 miles since. The results are splendid now sporting a protective base coat/ clear coat finish! It is exceptionally original under the hood with Carter AFB carburetors, correct 60C-dated Harrison radiator, factory style hoses/tower clamps, date-correct Delco-Remy generator, correct distributor, 7-finned aluminum valve covers, clutch fan assembly, etc. for a proper, factory stock presentation. It starts up remarkably well and hits the road with confidence! The exterior restoration was further complimented with a brand new black soft top and window weather seals upon arrival to the St Louis Car Museum in September 2024, but otherwise remains original inside including the brightwork and bumpers, all which remain in very fine condition. We also provided an engine service with fresh oil & filter. If you are looking for a high-quality driver that really turns heads, performs like it should, with show worthy NCRS scoring attributes, then this Corvette is for you! A terrific Corvette in all respects! Please call with questions or to schedule your chance to view it in person!
