Chevrolet was still building Corvettes with a 283 under the hood in 1960. The 327 would join the lineup two model years later, and that’s the small-block you’ll find in this Roman Red convertible. It’s paired with a four-speed manual, complete with a white shift ball between the bucket seats. With 54,667 miles showing on the odometer, this C1 brings together two particularly good chapters in Corvette history: the white-coved, chrome-grille styling of the 1960 car and the bigger V8 that saw the first generation through its final year.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is finished in Roman Red with white side coves. Look closely behind the front wheels and you’ll see the Corvette crossed flags set against the white paint, followed by three slim strips of bright trim. The white soft top picks up the cove color, as do the wide whitewalls on the 15-inch steel wheels. Spinner-style wheel covers, paired headlamps, and a row of chrome grille teeth dress the front half of the car. Around back, Chevrolet worked the dual exhaust outlets into the ends of the split rear bumper. The interior of this 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is black, with pleated bucket seats and a thin-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel. From the driver’s seat, the speedometer reads in a broad arc across the dash. Just to the right, a chrome lever beneath the shift ball operates the reverse lockout, and a plate beside the shifter lays out all four forward gears. An analog clock sits low in the center stack beneath the heater controls. Above them, an aftermarket radio carries a Chevrolet bowtie on its retro-style face. Both seats have lap belts.
Engine
Lift the hood and the first detail that catches the eye is the Corvette script cast into the finned valve covers. Between them sits a single four-barrel carburetor on a painted intake manifold. The seller identifies the engine as a 327ci V8, giving this car 44 more cubic inches than Chevrolet offered in a 1960 Corvette. The four-speed manual sends power to the rear wheels through a solid axle carried on leaf springs, and the small-block breathes through dual exhaust.
