1961 Chevrolet Corvette 283/315 Fuelie 4-Speed

The 1961 Chevrolet Corvette, known for its distinctive design and power, is a classic American sports car. Manufactured in its first year as a second-generation model (C1), it features the iconic split rear window and rounded edges, showcasing GM's cutting-edge design at the time. Under the hood lies an 5.3-liter V8 engine capable of producing 283 horsepower and 460 Nm of torque through its Carter WCFB four-barrel downdraft carburetor, colloquially referred to as "fuelie," a nod to the fuel injection-like precision of its atomization system. This power is channelled through a 4-speed manual transmission, adding to the driver's control and engagement with the vehicle.
