Revo Summary: A throw back to the mid 1960s racing scene, road legal and registered (MT), a symbol of American car culture and a Genuine article of Butte, MT racing history.
Price: Please inquire
Ever ask your wife before a weekend drive: Does this blower make my Butte look big?
Joking aside, this is an amazing opportunity to own the Genuine article. A former drag racer which hearkens back to a time in America when weekend racing drove pop culture and influenced the decisions made in the boardrooms of the Big Three. This 1961 model may have left the factory as a convertible bound for sunny Sunday cruises, but its owner had a different vision. Likely before delivery, it was fitted with a very unique fiberglass nose piece (period Corvette aftermarket parts catalog featuring the nose piece will be included in the sale). It was also fitted with a monster blower with custom hood and blower cover. Note, the blower was removed by the current owner in the interest of reliability and driveability. It wears a custom yellow/gold over black paint scheme with sponsorship from several iconic Butte, MT businesses and parts suppliers.
Details include:
- 327ci small block chevy motor, mated to a four speed manual transmission;
- Custom nose cone;
- Hard top with convertible soft top underneath;
- Cloth/velour interior trim in good condition;
- Staggered fitment, street legal tires;
