-THE BITCOIN ISLAND LIFE-
The 1961 Corvette Big Brake Fuelie Convertible is the holy grail for C1 enthusiasts and a pinnacle of early American performance engineering.
This model combines the best of both performance and styling, with its Rochester-injected 283 V8 producing a thundering 315 hp, paired to a close-ratio 4-speed manual for optimal driver engagement.
Most significant is the presence of the RPO 687 option—a comprehensive racing package that includes heavy-duty suspension, quick steering, and the famed big brakes with cooling ducts and finned drums.
Originally intended for SCCA racing, this factory option turned a stylish boulevard cruiser into a serious contender on any road course.
The 1961 styling updates brought a crisp rear-end design with round taillights and a subtly sculpted trunk—a prelude to the soon-to-arrive Sting Ray. Its purposeful stance, painted steel wheels, and minimalist trim give it a purposeful edge.
With fewer than 250 RPO 687 cars built across all Corvette production, and only a fraction with both fuel injection and convertible bodywork, this example is exceedingly rare. For the serious collector or vintage motorsport enthusiast, this Corvette isn’t just a car—it’s a cornerstone piece of American racing heritage and Corvette evolution.
