We just got this Corvette in from one of our dealers who specializes in project cars. Here is the description. Photos and contacts are here:

If you own 1961 Corvette VIN 10867S105476, call me.
I got your FI motor and I'm fixin’ to sell it with this car!
Motor is a correct 519 block which was cast in
January ‘61, four months after this particular car
was assembled. That makes this is a non-numbers
matching motor, but the heads & intake are correctly
coded and dated. Evidently someone took a 61
Corvette FI (CS suffix) short block motor and put on
the heads, intake/carb and exhaust manifolds off the
original car. The car is a lifelong California car
which we just acquired. It had been in long term
storage before arriving here. We got the motor
started and it runs surprisingly smooth. It has the
factory three speed transmission and correct
shifter. The frame is in excellent condition. The
body has had some past repair which should be redone
along with a repaint. The car is currently a coral
color, however it appears that the original color
was white. The black interior is in fairly good
shape. The dash pad is good. The drivers seat has
one small tear, otherwise the seats aren't too bad.
Original wonder bar radio is still in the car. This
is a true ‘hardtop only’ car. Old bias ply tires
mounted on original steel wheels with Corvette
hubcaps.
The car is equipped with the following RPO options:
#101 Heater
#102 AM Radio, signal seeking
#419 Auxiliary Hardtop
For a car that has not been driven in many decades,
it is in surprisingly good condition. I guess that
is why California cars are so sought after. Kinda’
funny looking with the coral/pink paint job (MOPAR
guys will love that color). Someone has de-chromed
the coves and added 62 emblems. Check out the 6 tail
lights! Will sell with or without the motor.
$21,000
