Beautiful ride Ken !  Would love to have one just like that !

Presently building the MPC Flipnose 60 Corvette that I started about 30 years ago. I have about 5 or 6 uncompleted models of 60 Corvettes from MPC and Revell. I really want the old Monogram kit, can't recall if it's a 59 or 60. Little difference between the two other than seats and some other minor interior things.

Wow Ken, great looking 'Vette and great pictures!!

Nice ride! Nothing beats a C1 in my opinion. I've had a couple over the years. This is last '61 I owned at a NCRS show here in FL back in 2004. Is yours stock mechanically?

No mine was a former drag racer and the 283 was long gone. At the drag strip I was told it ran a big block Chevy. Not sure if it was a 396, 427 or 454.

When I purchased the car, the owner was putting it back on the road. It has a small journal 327, that's the 327 Chevy put a 283 crank into to give birth to a 302 for the Z28.

Edlebrock Street Performer intake manifold, Edlebrock 600cfm carb. I replaced the old distributor, points and condenser with a MSD HEI distributor. Exhaust manifolds are the Chevy ram horns.

Single cylinder brake cylinder was replace with a Mr Power Brakes dual master cylinder and replaced front drums with ECI disc brake conversion.

Old vacuum wiper motor replace with a new multi speed electric motor.

It also has a Muncie M21 and 12 bolt GM rear end with 4:11 gears.

Your 61 is a beauty and I think I may have seen it posted on the Corvette Forum of which I've been a member for 22 years.

Sounds like a nice drivable setup! 

I sold the '61 in my photo back in 2008. Now that the kids are grown and I'm nearing retirement I'm on the hunt for either a '61 or '62 in either Honduras Maroon, Black, or Fawn Beige. 

I've never posted over on Corvette Forum, but I do get on there once in a while and read it. There's some pretty knowledgeable folks there!

4:11 is great on the hills in downtown Halifax but not suited for the highway.

Me and my Corvette at a local car show in 2014. My two passions in life, my 1960 Corvette and the St Louis Blues of the NHL.

The Monogram kit was released originally as a '58 and later on as a '59, then modified into a '62 and sold as a Revell kit.

Surprised on Tarasenko getting traded? Like having Sammy Blais back in the lineup though.
