The 1960 Corvette, like the prior year, had much less chrome ornamentation as seen on the earlier examples and the less-is-more appearance was well received as production reached 10,000 vehicles for the first time at 10,261 units. Engine options were measured in horsepower as all Corvettes in 1960 were 283-cid V-8’s. Chevrolet allowed buyers to choose horsepower rating ranging from 230 up to 290. This particular car is reported to now run with a 350-cid V-8 that is backed with a four-speed manual transmission.

Presented in red with white coves and a complementary black interior, this Corvette is reported as a California car that has a new soft-top and a radio is also onboard. Factory wheel covers and wide whitewall tires complete the classic look that is pure Corvette.
