This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette is a stunning piece of rolling artwork, representing a rare and highly sought-after configuration for the serious collector. With only 10,261 Corvettes produced in 1960, this example stands out as one of just 766 finished in Horizon Blue and one of only 2,364 equipped with the high-performance dual-quad 283/270hp V8 engine.
Benefiting from a complete body-off nut-and-bolt restoration, the vehicle presents in show-quality condition. The body is extremely straight with excellent panel gaps, finished in its factory-original shade of Horizon Blue. It features a crisp, new white convertible soft top and sits on 15-inch painted blue steel wheels with period-correct spinner hubcaps and American Classic whitewall tires.
Beneath the hood lies the original, matching-numbers dual-quad 283/270hp V8 engine. Meticulously rebuilt, the engine is fed by two Carter WCFB 4-barrel carburetors. Unique to the 1960 model year, it retains the factory top-tank radiator and the rare, optional temperature-controlled radiator fan. Power is managed by a T-10 4-speed manual transmission and a Posi-traction rear axle with 3.70 gears, ensuring a period-correct and engaging driving experience.
The interior has been fully restored to its original blue color scheme, with every component meticulously renewed. Modern reliability is integrated via a period-styled Wonderbar AM/FM/Bluetooth radio, while the rest of the cabin remains faithful to the authentic 1960 aesthetic. The undercarriage is equally detailed, reflecting the same high standard of authenticity, including the front stabilizer bar that was first introduced for the 1960 model year.
