Fly High or Fly Low in America's Sportscar, many of our photos of this Corvette were taken at the Dallas Love Field Frontiers of Flight Museum, located only minutes from our showroom. This is a Vette that you can get in and drive.

The exterior presents a very good and straight body with nice paint throughout. This is an all white Corvette, although it was originally turquoise & white.

The current owner has had this car since 2004. It has been garage kept.

The white auxillary hardtop is in great shape, fastening and sealing as it should. The headliner is intact. The glass is clear all around. There is some slight frazzle in the rear windows.

Open the doors to 1961. The interior showcases the original seats with recent seat covers & seat belts.

The dash displays the original gauges, all functional with exception of the clock. The original steering wheel was replaced with a smaller diameter, leather-wrapped steering wheel. We do have the original wheel. The dash vinyl is intact throughout and in good shape.

The high RPM redline tachometer is an indicator of a 340 horsepower Corvette or Fuelie. This one has a strong little 283 4bbl. V8 in it now.

The door panels are intact and in very good condition as are the door undersides & interior trim.

This '61 Vette sits right on its original wheels & wheel covers, recently fitted with these wide whitewall B.F. Goodrich poly-bias tires (6-70-15 4ply).

The bright work is in good shape, showing some age in areas. There are some dings on the front end top trim piece pictured.

Under the hood is the non-number's matching 283 c.i. 4bbl. V8. (casting # 3731548) This engine compartment is dressed up with finned aluminum Lester valve covers, ignition shielding, the correct generator charging system with the tachometer driven on it. The cooling system has the radiator & correct overflow tank. The core support is straight and solid. The inner fenders and firewall are clean and detailed.

This is a strong running car. The little classic 283 has upgraded induction and revs up nicely. The clutch is strong. The steering feels real good. A front disc brake conversion was installed for better driveability.

Coil-Over shocks ride in the rear.

The undercarriage displays an exceptional frame and flooring throughout. The front end is in good shape as is the suspension throughout. This is a dry climate Corvette and it shows. The car is originally from California.

The soft top has been replaced and is very clean. It fastens in place as it should. The convertible top door opens and closes correctly.

The trunk is clean and detailed, as is the spare tire carrier. There is an aftermarket jack & factory lug wrench as well. There is also a car cover for this '61 Corvette.

Texas Classic Cars of Dallas is your classic Corvette source. This white '61 is right at home next to this Top Flight Fawn Beige '61.

GM invests $24 million to build more crew cab trucks in Fort Wayne

Thu, May 30 2019

The full-size pickup truck arms race continues unabated here in the United States as Ford, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler battle back and forth for sales supremacy. The Ford F-Series of trucks continues to lead the field in sales (214,611 units sold through the first quarter of 2019), but the race for second place has been a lot more interesting to watch. That's because Ram, long a distant third in truck sales, eked its way past Chevrolet late in 2018 and has managed to hold the position so far in 2019. Don't take this to mean that sales of GM's trucks have been poor across the board. In fact, the automaker reports that sales of its four-door crew cab pickups are up 20 percent in 2019 over the same period a year ago. And that's what makes GM's announcement today so interesting. The automaker is investing $24 million into its assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana to build more Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, and the focus will continue to be on crew cab models. "We are building Chevrolet and GMC crew cab pickups at record volume and mix levels to meet customer demand and the $24 million investment will allow us to build even more," said GM chief Mary Barra in a statement. "Crew cab sales have been very strong, and we are expanding customer choice with new models, more cab choices and innovative new powertrains." It's worth noting that, if crew cab sales are up 20% this year, but overall sales are down (over 15% for Silverado and around 2% for GMC), that means it's the cheaper regular cab and double cab models that are lagging. At the same time, sales of the midsize Chevy Colorado have surged 16%. And finally, if you combine sales of the Silverado and Sierra into one bucket, GM still has a comfortable lead over Ram overall. If there's a takeaway here, it's that trucks of all shapes and sizes have been, currently are and will surely remain hot in America, and automakers will continue to invest money into making sure they are able to satiate consumer demand.
