1961 Chevrolet Corvette

• Red paint with white coves looks deep, glossy and even from every angle shown, front, sides and rear — no paint budget from these photos.
• Chrome bumpers and grille look bright and complete front and rear — no re-chroming cost is visible.
• Whitewall tires and hubcaps look clean all round — no immediate tire spend is shown.
• Black seats and door trim shown look clean and well kept, with tidy carpets — no retrim budget from these photos.
• The listing itself flags a torn driver's seat and a small hood ding, neither clear at this distance — verify both in person, as a seat repair would be spend.
• The centre console lit at night looks complete with its clock and radio — it proves the dash lights up, nothing about the rest of the electrics.
• The engine bay shown looks complete and orderly with its single carburettor setup — tidy, though running health can't be judged from a still photo.
• The convertible top is down in every exterior photo and the fabric itself is never shown — top condition can't be judged, and a replacement would be real money.
• Only one tight underside crop is shown, of a dark frame / driveline area — the full underside and frame can't be judged from it, so frame condition is still a must-verify item on a C1.

Money: at $78,999 the fuller set backs the glossy first impression — paint, chrome and cabin all look the money — but the unseen soft top and the unshown full underside still have to be verified before paying this price.
