As stated by its serial number, this Corvette is from 1960. Sold new in the USA, it was imported in Europe during the 1990s. Its current owner acquired it at an auction in 2017. It was already restored and was presented in this superb livery combining black with white sides, going wonderfully with the red upholstery. As a demanding enthusiast, he found a CT type engine of 283cc producing 245hp (faithful to the one that left the factory) and had it restored by the Moneghetis garage. During that time, the transmission was fully restored and the axle was changed. Running gears were sandblasted and repainted, while silent blocks were replaced. Original rims with new tyres were fitted instead of the non-original spoked wheels and electric power steering was adapted to improve driving comfort. A discerning eye will not fail to notice the presence of a 1958 bonnet with its characteristic vents which enhances the already incredible appearance of this model.

In perfect working condition, accompanied by an inspection report from February 2024 and equipped with the 4-speed manual gearbox, this superb Corvette is ready to hit the road and your breath away.


Please note that the last technical inspection is from 12/12/2022 and has not less than 6 month.
