1961 Jewel Blue Corvettes are unique cars. This shade of blue is a perfect contrast with the white coves and a lot of Corvette fans think that this is the first year GM got a blue color right. The one year only color option produced just 855 examples. The rarity and beauty of Lot# 678.1 instantly became one of the favorite Corvettes from the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Palm Beach last weekend.
This 1961 Corvette is the result of a recently completed frame-off restoration in 2008. Features include a 270 hp dual quad 283 ci V8 coupled to a 4-speed transmission, white wall tires, wonderbar radio and a white soft convertible top.
The Corvette was bid on for nearly 5 minutes before hammering at $118,000.
