If you’ve been searching for a C1 or C2 Corvette but have struggled to find a likely candidate, your search may be over. The owner of these three Corvettes has reached the point where he can no longer drive them, so he has made the heart-wrenching decision to part with all three. You could choose from a 1961 C1 or Convertibles from 1963 and 1966. All appear in good order, and you can secure one or all of them for $72,500 each. He has listed them here on Craigslist in Bonney Lake, Washington. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Larry D for spotting this fantastic collection.

The 1961 Corvette is dusty, suggesting it hasn’t seen action for a while. It features a matching factory hardtop that is in good order. The Roman Red paint shines beneath the dust, with no apparent flaws or imperfections. There is no evidence of stress cracks or other problems with the fiberglass, while the trim is okay for a driver-grade vehicle. The owner supplies no information on the state of the frame, but the dry storage environment makes me feel quietly optimistic that it is structurally sound.

The three Corvettes share a common trait: they all feature 327ci V8s backed by a four-speed manual transmission. That is the crux of the problem for the owner because his deteriorating physical health means he can no longer operate the transmission. If the C1 does hide a 327 under the hood, it can’t be a numbers-matching classic. The C1 rolled off the line with a 283, with the larger engine appearing in 1963 with the introduction of the C2 series. The collection also shares another trait: we receive no information on their mechanical condition and whether they run and are roadworthy. The owner appears approachable, so there are some relevant questions he may be happy to answer.

Turning our attention to the C1’s interior brings more good news. Its interior presents as nicely as the exterior and appears to need nothing. The upholstered surfaces are excellent, the carpet and dash are spotless, and there are no aftermarket additions. While the outside of this ‘Vette might benefit from a clean, the buyer won’t face that task with the interior.

The photos of the ’62 Corvette aren’t great, and we receive no information on their age. However, its Silver Blue paint looks nice, and the panel gaps are tight and consistent. I wish we had better photos because determining its physical condition is impossible beyond some educated guesses. The trim looks good, but it is unclear whether the Corvette comes with a hardtop or soft-top.

It’s a good thing this seller appears approachable because many questions about all three classics require answers. He supplies no interior shots of this car, so we’re flying blind on the trim color and condition. However, with the other vehicles presenting nicely, the odds are that it is a similar story here. The seller says the car features a 327ci V8 and a four-speed manual transmission. The V8’s specifications are unclear, and we don’t know if it is numbers-matching. It should be pumping out at least 250hp, allowing it to produce sub-16-second ¼-mile passes with ease.

The Silver Pearl ’66 Convertible is probably the pick of the bunch when considering the overall presentation. The paint shines beautifully, and the Black soft-top is as tight as a drum. The owner doesn’t mention a hardtop, but his listing description for the entire collection is pretty vague and lacks specific details. We get a better look at the fiberglass than with the other ‘Vettes, and it shows no signs of fatigue cracks, or other problems.

This photo might tell us something about this car because the headlamps are on. That suggests it has a charged battery, and its general cleanliness may indicate a car that has recently seen active service. The glass and chrome appear excellent, but I think this classic may roll on wider wheels. If so, sourcing the correct wheels and caps may not be difficult or expensive.

As with the C1 featured above, this 1966 Corvette appears to have a spotless interior. There is no evidence of wear or physical damage. It is original and unmolested and features a factory AM/FM radio. As with the other two, the drivetrain is a 327ci V8, but its specifications are unknown. The power feeds to the wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. We receive no information on whether the car is numbers-matching or which version of the 327 hides under the hood.

If you were to make a play for one of these Corvettes, which would it be? Would you select one, or would buying the collection be too tempting to resist? The owner’s decision to part with them must have been difficult, but sometimes life throws us unavoidable obstacles like declining health. I hope that whoever eventually hands over the cash continues treating them with respect because classics like this deserve it.
