Those Pre-1963 Vette Converts are better looking than the new ones IMO.
I love those headlights
Which ones...
betcha the car cheaper to maintain than the babe.
ha ha ha ha ha!!! that made my day!!!
the car has less filler!
They both would need more than a few litres a week
THAT,S A SAFE BET !....////
Boy you're crazy!
I'm not a Corvette guy, but for 9minutes 57 seconds I made an exception.
Hi Mary Ann, good show as always! The engine, if a 350, would not be original to 1961; that displacement bowed for 1967 in the Camaro and was then subsequently offered in other models. A '61 Corvette would boast a 283. Sweet car to be sure. Enjoying all the Vettes and hoping to see more gorgeous American rides, both old and late-model. Have a nice weekend!! : D
AMCmachine Don't forget it also might have had the quad carb option as well depending on who ordered it. That could explain why it has the 350 In it.
Maybe the original engine from the 'Vette is out there somewhere, happily residing in a street rod or something.
AMCmachine Good chance it had a carb fire depending on the option. Duel quads like to leak and catch fire
Thought the 327 did not come until later than 1961. A 283 would be correct then. Always remember the 59 with fuel injection.
A Movie Star, The Professor and May Anne.!!!
I would like to see a calendar that would feature Mary Ann with some of her favorite cars. It could be called the AutoHaus of Naples automobile calendar featuring Mary Ann.
I would buy one of those.
I have to confess, I only watched this to check out that gal's great pair of shoes. They're fabulous.
You appear to be speaking from experience so I'll have to take your word for it. Thanks for taking the time to express yourself.
No disappointments here, just an observation. Sometimes people take jokes WAY too seriously. It's as if it offends them. Strange.
Shoes? What shoes? Oh okay, now I see them. Eyes didn't get that far down...
327 came out in 62
grayboo? More like gayboo.
So many people are worked up over the C8. I'll take this.
Actually those speakers are a good alternative solution rather than hacking up the car with new holes for a custom install.
Although, that stereo looks like it's from the 80's. You could install a stereo with enough power to run an 8' sub box and place it in the trunk and upgrade the stock speakers. No new holes just rewiring. I'm with you, cutting holes in that work of art would be a terrible idea!
Just wondering if it's been upgraded with airbags?
OzSeattle oh, I get it 😁
I'll probably not ever buy a Vette from MaryAnn, since I live in upstate N.Y. but if I ever do I think I'll just walk to Florida, just so i can give MaryAnn a hug. 😊
Beautiful feet I love your barefoot driving
She rides the clutch.
I like that she correctly identified that the round things are tires, but those are wheel covers not knock-off hub wheels.
Those old vettes are so beautiful! Good lord why did chevi doesn't so a retro vette (like ford did with the T bird)
Such a cool car from those American Graffiti days. Only thing though is that it doesn't have a backseat. :P
donnydoobra Do it in the front seat. Be creative.🤔🤣😁😉
donnydoobra Top goes up - hers goes down.
presentation abominable ,her pronunciation is awful ,she looks very upgraded, this car does not deserve this
Love this car, one of the best designs ever...........................except for the factory hubcaps and "doughnut whitewalls". I would find some custom rims along with orange or red pin-striped tires. Not bound by what factory designers claim is" hip".
Holy sh.!!!!!, Thats high maintenance!!!!!!!!!
Definitely two beauties, what more can a guy want? ?🐸💕👌✌
IT'S FUN TO DRIVE.....IT'S EASY TO DRIVE.......IT STARTS UP FAST........THERE YOU HAVE IT..... I'M SOLD
very cool.
I love the bare feet driving this Vette!!!¡!¡¡!!!
Don't misrepresent that car as a factory 350 V8. The 350 engine come along for many years later. That 350 engine killed that car's value. The average person doesn't know that so guess it doesn't matter. You won't gain the public's trust like that.
And at which point in this video was it misrepresented? You may see the appraisal on our website which also states information about the engine. www.autohausfl.com/vehicle-details/1961-chevrolet-corvette-convertible-convertible-1ddda923fdf04d3fa24de8208edfdce0
I think John Hughes meant if the car was factory original it would not have a 350 ci engine. So if as you list it it is a 350 engine it is not original which would lessen it's value to a collector.
OK, nowhere in the video did you acknowledge that the engine is not and cannot be original. Nor do you in the link you provided except that if you scroll waaaaay down, there is an "appraisal" which notes that the engine block is a 68, but also claims that, other than this block, the car is original. First, a 283 four barrel in a 61 Vette would have had a standard cam and the tachometer would show orange at 5000 rpm, and a redline beginning around 5300 rpm, not the 63-6500 redline this Vette's tach has. Either the tach is not original, or this was not originally a 4-barrel motor. Second, a 61 283 crank would not fit in a 350 block (main journal sizes are different), and if it did, the motor wouldn't have 350 cubic inches (4" bore and 3" stroke makes a 302). The heads don't appear to be from the 283, either, and 61 valve covers don't have oil breather caps; instead there is a breather pipe in the intake manifold - which this motor doesn't have. In short, at the very least, it appears that the 283 has been entirely replaced by a 350. What other changes have been made - who knows? Is the clutch original? Transmission? Rear end? Such changes are not necessarily a bad thing for someone who actually wants to drive their Vette, but they do diminish the collector value, and should be forthrightly acknowledged. By the way, the tach redline (and lack of fuel injection emblems) would indicate the original motor was a dual-quad, duntov-cammed 270 horse 283.
Awesome !! Most beautiful Corvette design ever !!
I never let my wife in any of my cars with heels. She understands since every car she's ever owned has holes in the floor mats.
I have one with an original 283, automatic and some unusual options. This representation is wrong in so many ways.
Wrong in so many ways is right! The 1961 Corvette is only offered with a 283 engine, the title says a V-8 327 and then she blurts out it’s a 350. The 350 didn’t come out till I believe 67 or 68.I mean seriously; know what you’re talking about before you do a video it’s not that hard and it’s embarrassing too by the way.
Just because you have a implanted life vest that will activate immediately once you hit the water...you won’t have to blow or pull to activate, does not mean you should be representing a 1961 Corvette when you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
Id take them both for a ride
1st.5th.14th thanks
I subscribed just to be able to see the Lady 🙊 oops my bad😂😂 I mean the Cars.
I would love to ride the beauty.
you don’t hire her to not be seen 🙄 - that’s why it doesn’t have millions of views
Thanks for watching!
it is the prettiest beauty that my eyes have never seen❣️
Ohhhh, the luscious hooters! Whoops, did I think that, out loud. My bad.
non original engine. who cares?? gorgeous classic corvette, that will draw a crowd and provide goose bumps to all who view it. it wouldn't matter if it had a four banger under the hood, or a lawnmower engine. just beautifully designed rolling automotive art, that I can only dream of owning, and parking in my driveway.
It kills the value of a vintage Corvette if it doesn't have the numbers matching engine you might as well put a big block in it.
I know all about vette values, NOM motors, and numbers matching blah blah blah. If your into originality, and investment value, your choice. My choice is to drive it, and admire it, with anything I choose to stuff into the engine compartment. Who cares. Just enjoy it, because that what it was built for.
Missing the point. We could enjoy it as is, but if you're gonna fork over serious money for a car, you need to know what it is.
wow they picked one hot lady for this ! gorgeous!
You may keep the car!!! I want the gorgeous Blonde :) TV
I saw some low mileage cars online in Kansas. A 1970 Challenger with a 340 62,500 miles and a 1989 Monte Carlo SS with less 10,000 original miles.
You can drive stick. Damn, you got my respect.
This dudes probably a teen, it literally only take half a day to learn manual not impressive at all. Most people just prefer not to drive it.
Mar Ann... You're classy and beautiful... and hopefully (as I don't "Know" you) it's from the sincerity of your heart showing outwardly. Question; Is it 327 or 350ci powered? Under the title in the description, it says it's 327 powered, and in the video you repeatedly say it's a 350... which is it?!? Either way though, it's not "Original"! The 327 wasn't available until the 1962 model year, and the 350 didn't show up until the 1967 model year, although the 327 was still an option through to and including the 1969 models.
The Correct engine(s) for the 61' Vette was the 283ci engine available in multiple options..... a 2bbl 185hp (8.5:1cr) a single 4 bbl & 9.5:1 cr rated at 220hp, dual quads w/10.5:1cr rated at either 245 or 270hp (270hp with the famous Duntov "30/30" solid lifter cam), and then either the "Ramjet" with mech. Rochester Fi rated at 250hp with 9.75:1cr, or the "Super Ramjet" with 10.5:1cr and the "magic" 283hp (1hp per ci.).
The Tachometer also, does Not appear to be original (as seen at the 1:34 mark) either... unless it was originally equipped with the dual quad, 270hp engine... but as I noted above, it does Not have the proper "badging" for that, either.
This vette is not badged for the FI version, nor the dual quad version either, so was most likely Originally equipped with either the 2bbl 185hp (w/8.5:1cr.) or the sgl 4bbl - 220hp 283. IF it still had the Original power and drive train (with all numbers, matching) it might be worth a few thousand.
These models are NOT "highly sought after", generally speaking... and even if it were originally equipped the "power-pac" heads (241 casting) with all numbers matching (with original build sheet) it still wouldn't bring a whole lot of money.... and most of its "worth" would be in the Rochester mech. Fi more so than the car itself.
Having said that.... the ole saying of "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", applies here.....and there is always some guy (or gal) with more money than brains "out there" who will pay whatever price the "schyster" who's selling it, will rip him off for.
Who Knows... how many changes this vette has had made to it, but one thing is certain.... it is definitely NOT "Original"..... and not saying that you said it was... I'm just making an observation.
My first vette was a 62 with the dual quad 327 (Edelbrock sgl plane manifold and an Isky 505 Super Lagera cam and springs, solids, etc.) with Two tops (was the "hardtop convertible" model), a removable hardtop and the "ragtop" (like this one in the video).... and I bought it in 1966 for $750.!!
By the way..... those are Not "knock-off" Wheels as you indicated in the video..... they Are, metal Hub Caps mounted on factory steel wheels. Knock-Offs were not even an option on the 61's. Just some "trivia". lol ; ) Have a Wonderful day, week, month.... life.
Best comment ever.
I like Mary Ann, not Ginger. Mary Ann , you have a nice laugh.
Pretty
Does she even know this isn't the original engine?
Of course lol check out the appraisal on our website: www.autohausfl.com/vehicle-details/1961-chevrolet-corvette-convertible-convertible-1ddda923fdf04d3fa24de8208edfdce0
She barely knew what a tire was much less if original engine
Who gives a shit?
@@AutohausofNaples She called it a 350. Your listing says 327. Which is it
Guessing she doesn’t come with the car
Was there a car supposed to be in this ad? huh....didn't notice
Well, I'm glad you chose to have some bimbo that knows nothing about cars present this. Kinda shows where your hearts at.
It looks like it's missing a valve stem cap and those don't look like original valve stems. How many other details (including the 350 engine) have been wrong?
C’Mon!!!! It’s the Classic American Sportscar!!! Get her outta there!!!!! Show one or two of the engineers!!!!!!!!
ADVERTISEMENT says 327 v8 NOT a 350 we lied about the engine...
nice bumpers 🤪
knock off wheels??? geese lady they are hubcaps!!! she gotta be a natural blonde
Sounds good. Does Ivanca come with it?
Rick Mayo Hottest first lady ever.
@@coiledsteel8344 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for a nice presentation as always!
One of the most desireable Corvettes the 1961 and 1962 models along with the split rear window 1963 model. By a wide margin one of the most good looking 2 seater convertibles/hardtops made. The colour combo Ermin White and red interior is perfect for the car, and with the red instrument cluster/panel which is the most stunning in automotive history.
But please handle the vintage collectible manuals and documentation more carefully the next time, ok? The glue holding the pages together can be brittle and the pages can come loose, please find a suitable cover for the manuals and documentation on vintage cars.
Cheers.
And dont slam the door shut!
I always hear her pronouncing it auto house of meatballs.
Please continue barefoot too much
What is the red light on the dash?
Looks like the high beam indicator.
What is that red warning light for ?
Please someone tell me the price
Absolutely stunning. The car's not bad either.
Thank you!
You're the best autohaus naples very nice👍👍👍
Glad you like them!
What happened tot he original 283 , Wonder bar radio and Hard top?
Didn't necessarily have a hard top. You could get a soft top, removable hard top, or both. Lotsa early Vettes only had one or the other.
You drive it without shoes? 😳
Who cares if it’s the original motor? So many nit pickers on here. She could sell a drowning man water.
Did that car a disservice by not having a better quality top! Needs actual glass as well. Beautiful car overall
God you get some nice rides...I've raced that car on some back roads...OMG! Knock off wheels...Very nice. You have such a nice job babe. I think you guys have the best vids on TH-cam.
Beautiful car but what a ditzy narration.
Amazing!!!!!!
How much is the price you were asking for this car?
Also is it numbers-matching? That car I believe had a smaller engine when it came off the line. Does the owner still have the engine or is that 350 a substitute?
61 would have come with a 283.327 wasn't available until the 62's came out.350's came out much later 1969 in Corvettes.
You must be a bunch of geezers or have no taste to be making those classy comments about her attributes. How sad!
In my earlier comment, I meant period costume for each classic car presented. Please don't take it the wrong way. It was just meant as a suggestion to enhance your already very professional and smart presentation. Well done.
amaziind agaiin
it sure is, thanks for watching!
I love that corvette video red white blue
This car its ideal for my Erica
The 61 got a 350?🧠🤯🔫
6:45 = yum!!!
This car is supposed to be a 327 with fuel injection
This car should have a 283, the 327 came in the 62.
Ron Townsend that was another option to the 283 4bbl or 2x4bbl
Nice car. No backseat ? My dates will not get in that car.
Those dudes need ROOM!
Hey I heard you dated Donald Trump in 2007 ...?
Beldades.
Red light.... One of the seat belts not buckled up?
It's the high-beam indicator, that's why it says "BEAM."
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Very clean vett
I hate the (ah) every sentence. Turned me right off.
Thanks for watching
Time to cruise Route 66!
Ah the good ole days when duel headers can really clean out your pipes!!!!!
Oh I say what-what and the car ain't bad either.... 🤔🙄😁😘
If a car we'll put
I would take this vett over todays vett anyway of the week.
wonderful car...
Good
Red leather 💥💥💥💥💥
Poor camera work!!!
1961 - 57 years old car now
Mary Ann you're so pretty!! can you take me for a joyride in that Vette?
Not a factory original engine. GM didn't come out with the 350 till '67. This was originally a fuel injected 283. Would have been far more valuable with the original engine. People who seek this kind of car out are meticulous and particular, and they don't want a modern stereo - you're out of your league trying to sell this.
Why do you think it was originally FI? No fuel injection emblems on the fenders (of course, they could have been removed). If you're looking at the tach, the 270 horse dual quad motor also had a Duntov cam and the same high redline as the fuelie motor.
If it was original it would have a 283
Is she for sale?
Knock off wheels?.... ah, who cares:)
Bloody Nora ...
I see porn.
