Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this iconic 1962 Chevrolet
Corvette Convertible. This incredible build comes in an immaculate
crystal red metallic paint job complemented by a spotless saddle
and maroon ostrich leather interior and black accents. The
removable hard top is in exceptional condition and functions as it
should. Powering this vehicle is a GM performance 350 cubic inch
crate motor mated to a B&M TH700R automatic transmission with
overdrive. Putting the power to the ground is a custom Jim Meyers
suspension with a Dana 60 rear end. Additional features of the
vehicle include 4 wheel power Wilwood brakes, Power rack and pinion
steering, vintage A/C, functional heat, modern sound system and
much much more. The full restoration was completed professionally
by Corvette Center in Kailua Hawaii, with various items to show the
work. So, if you're really looking to own the road and stand out
from the rest, you simply can not beat this Corvette. Please
contact us today for more information.
The first generation of Corvette was introduced late in the 1953
model year. Originally designed as a show car for the 1953 Motorama
display at the New York Auto Show, it generated enough interest to
induce GM to make a production version to sell to the public. This
generation was often referred to as the "solid-axle" models (the
independent rear suspension was not introduced until the second
generation). Three hundred hand-built polo white Corvette
convertibles were produced for the 1953 model year. In 1962, the
Chevrolet 283 cu in Small-Block was enlarged to 327 cu in. In
standard form it produced 250 bhp. For an extra 12% over list
price, the fuel-injected version produced 360 bhp, making it the
fastest of the C1 generation. 1962 was also the last year for the
wrap around windshield, solid rear axle, and convertible-only body
style. The trunk lid and exposed headlamps did not reappear for
many decades.
