The 283ci V8 was factory equipped with an aluminum intake manifold, dual four-barrel carburetors, and a high-lift camshaft, and it is accented with a chrome air cleaner lid and finned valve covers. The carburetors were rebuilt and tuned in September 2023. The CU suffix is consistent with a 283ci V8 rated at 270 horsepower and designated for a 1961 Corvette with two four-barrel carburetors, a high-lift camshaft, and a manual transmission.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. A replacement dual exhaust system was installed.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,600-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, amperage, oil pressure, and fuel level.
The five-digit odometer shows 2,400 miles, total mileage is unknown.
