Few American sports cars wear their age as gracefully as the C1, and this 38-years-owned 1960 Chevrolet Corvette, currently up for auction on Hagerty Marketplace, is a handsome reminder of why. Finished in Midnight Blue Pearl Metallic over black and fitted with a modern-feeling 350ci V8 and a four-speed manual, it offers the look of a 1960 Corvette with plenty of driver-friendly muscle underneath.
With just over 10,000 units built, the 1960 Corvette blends performance, mid-century design and motorsports heritage in a way that still turns heads. This example's chassis number, 00867S100011, decodes to a 1960 Corvette assembled at the St. Louis, Missouri plant.
A Long-Term Keeper
The seller acquired the car in October 1988, and it has stayed in the same hands for 38 years. That kind of continuity is rare in the classic market, and it suggests a car that has been driven and enjoyed rather than shuffled between owners. It is offered with a clean Colorado title in the seller's name and shows 71,500 miles TMU.
350 Power and a Four-Speed
The big news under the hood is a recently installed 350ci V8 topped with an Edelbrock intake manifold and a Holley carburetor. An aluminum radiator was installed at the same time, a sensible upgrade for keeping temperatures in check on warm days. Power goes to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual, and aftermarket exhaust components with exhaust cutouts promise a bit of extra voice when the mood strikes. Drum brakes remain at all four corners, keeping the driving experience period-correct.
If you enjoy Hagerty Marketplace Corvette finds, this one follows in the footsteps of the 8K-mile 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible and the 427-powered 1967 Corvette coupe we have featured, proving there is a V8 Corvette for nearly every taste.
Style and Equipment
The Midnight Blue Pearl Metallic paint is paired with black vinyl upholstery with cloth inserts and a black convertible soft top. A removable hardtop is included, making this Corvette ready for open-air cruising or cooler-weather drives. Fifteen-inch Keystone Klassic wheels add a classic look, while inside you will find a wood-rimmed steering wheel, lap belts and an Alpine CD stereo with aftermarket speakers.
Bidding Details
The listing notes some spiderwebbing in the paint and scratches, with close-up photos provided in the 117-image gallery so bidders can judge the condition for themselves. As of this writing, the high bid stands at $40,000 with one bid placed, and the auction ends Wednesday, October 14 at 2:05 PM EDT. The car is located in Parker, Colorado.
For anyone who wants a long-owned C1 Corvette that is already set up to be driven, this one deserves a close look. See the full listing and gallery on Hagerty Marketplace.
