*1960 Chevrolet Corvette 283/290* * Rare Rochester Fuel Injected Example * 283ci V8 * ?290 Horsepower * Striking Black and Silver over Red Color Combo * 4-Speed Manual Gearbox * The Ultimate in Americana!1960 marked the mid-point for the refreshed first generation Corvette and is arguably the most iconic era. With its unique side cove, attractive colors and powerful V8, these Corvettes really took the marque into sports car territory. This 1960 example is particularly desirable thanks to its factory fitted Rochester fuel injection system, making it one of the most powerful factory trim levels.This 1960 Corvette was purchased by the consignor out of a Corvette collection in 2006 in Roseburg, Oregon. Finished in black with silver side coves, this Corvette offers an upscale look, which is further highlighted by its chrome hubcaps and wide white wall tires. Up front, dual headlights flank a large toothed grille, with the iconic crossed flag Corvette emblem sitting proudly between the fenders. The black folding convertible top remains in very good shape.Open the door and you are met by striking red covering the seats, carpets, dashboard and steering wheel rim. When the top is down, this interior choice looks absolutely incredible paired with the silver and black exterior and is without a doubt the cars statement piece. Drop into the drivers seat and you are met by a 3-spoke steering wheel that frames a 150 mph speedometer, and smaller inset tachometer.Under the hood sits a 283ci small block V8, which is topped by the innovative Rochester mechanical fuel injection system. This cutting edge tech allowed this V8 to break the 1 horsepower per cubic inch barrier, putting out a stout 290 hp from the factory. This then sends power through a 4-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels. Under current ownership, the fuel tank was replaced and the injection system was rebuilt.These C1 Corvettes represent the ultimate in classic Americana paired with surprising performance, and are also lots of fun to drive. This example is offered in a great color combination and with all the right bits to ensure it keeps you entertained every time you slide behind the wheel.*- - -*For more information on this 1960 Chevrolet Corvette 283/290 or any of our 100+ High-Performance, Exotic and Special Interest cars always in stock, contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 40,000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue, WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury, Exotic, High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
