Now for sale in our Houston showroom is this numbers-matching 1962
Chevrolet C-1 Corvette. The final year of the first generation
Corvette, this car is adorned with options that would be found on
the last of a decade-long body style, including: a wraparound
windshield, solid rear axle, and convertible-only body style. The
exposed headlamps and trunk lid did not re-appear for many decades.
The Corvette line was born in 1953 as a concept entry into the New
York Auto Show, known as the Motorama. The response was so great it
prompted General Motors to begin limited production for the 1953
model year which launched a legend. This '62 Corvette for sale
comes from the same pedigree, and is ready to show and go! Moving
this beauty down the road is a classic 327 CID small-block Chevy V8
engine that had a rebuild roughly 500 miles ago. This car runs like
a champ and is great for weekend cruises. Rated at 300 horsepower,
this Corvette was built for even the most eager thrill seekers. The
power plant is coupled with an optional four-speed manual
transmission, which offers you the maximum adrenaline rush. Simply
put, there is nothing quite like the feeling of motoring along the
highways and byways of America in a true American legend. Top down,
radio on, exhaust rumbling, and passersby giving you a double-take
as you're hustling her through the twisties. Nestled into a
cockpit-inspired cabin with aviation-style instrumentation and wrap
around bucket seats, one can truly feel why this car has become the
living legend it is. The beige vinyl sport buckets straddle the
shifter snugly, begging you to slip in and run through the gears!
With an exterior that's just as sharp as the interior, it's hard to
go wrong with this 1962 Corvette convertible for sale. The classic
styling of this C-1 Corvette was a perfect example of the new trend
in American styling. The Wineberry Red paint on this C-1 'Vette
hugs every sexy curve of this old school cruiser. The raised front
and rear fenders makes for a very muscular stance, low to the
ground, and very aggressive. The quad headlights and the
blacked-out anodized grill completed the concept that had, at that
time, taken America by storm. Options on this 1962 Chevy Corvette
for sale, include: AM radio, manual convertible top, hard top, seat
belts, vinyl interior, and steel wheels with hub caps wrapped in
whitewall radial tires. This 1962 C-1 Corvette for sale at our
Houston location is an amazing opportunity to own and enjoy one of
the true great American sports cars of all time. This car will get
up and go. Can you imagine it in your garage? For more info on this
