A meticulously restored, fuel-injected 1960 Corvette with NCRS Top Flight and Duntov honors will cross the block this November.
One of the finest examples of Chevrolet’s early performance icon is heading to auction this November — a 1960 Corvette convertible powered by its matching-numbers 283-cubic-inch, 290-horsepower V8. Finished in black over a matching black interior, this car represents the pinnacle of precision restoration, earning top honors from the National Corvette Restorers Society and the coveted Duntov Mark of Excellence in 2021.
From the factory, this car was one of just 759 Corvettes produced with Rochester mechanical fuel injection and a high-lift cam, a combination that elevated Chevrolet’s fiberglass sports car into serious performance territory. It also features both a removable hardtop and a black soft top, maintaining the car’s versatility and visual appeal. The car reportedly has less than 700 miles since the restoration was completed.
In addition to its Duntov Award, this Corvette achieved a near-perfect 99.6% score at the 2021 NCRS Top Flight judging and also passed the NCRS Performance Verification test — an indication that it performs exactly as Chevrolet intended. Its extensive documentation includes judging sheets and records tracing its provenance to its original sale in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
This car stands as a benchmark for 1960 Corvettes, combining authenticity, mechanical precision, and concours-level presentation. For collectors who value verified originality and documented excellence, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most decorated Fuelies in existence.
The black-on-black presentation underscores the car’s understated but unmistakable performance pedigree — a perfect mix of elegance and engineering prowess.
