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

Didn’t 61 vettes have the cove painted a different color or was this car built with painted cove delete?

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