'61 Corvette, Original Paint Triple Black Fuelie

[scuncio]

About as good as it gets for '61...unfortunately, its original short block is long gone. Awesome car nonetheless.

I believe 61 was the last year of painted coves. I’ve never seen a 62 with factory painted coves

The insert in the doors to the front fenders.
