1961 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie – “Vanity”
We are proud to present “Vanity,” a truly exquisite 1961 Corvette Fuelie that stands among the finest examples on the market today. Fresh from a comprehensive frame-off restoration completed in 2024, this C1 earned NCRS Top Flight honors that same year with an outstanding 96.1-point score — a testament to its authenticity, correctness, and uncompromising quality. Finished in Roman Red with Ermine White coves over a rich red interior, this is a benchmark restoration for the discerning collector. Every classic deserves a name, and “Vanity” was the only choice for this Little Red Corvette.
