Accident Watch: Restored 1961 Corvette Crashed Into During Final Test Drive

Talk about a bit of really, really bad luck. Local news affiliate KIOW reports a 1961 C1 Corvette was hit by another vehicle during its final test drive before being delivered to its rightful owner.

The 1961 Corvette has reportedly been undergoing restoration for 10 years and was gearing up to be shipped back to its owner in Florida. But, an oncoming vehicle swerved and hit the classic Corvette, damaging the right rear of the vehicle as well as the front clip.

Thankfully, the damage is fixable and no one was injured in the crash. However, the repairs will push the Corvette’s delivery off until January of 2017.
