Here we have a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette for sale. This is one of the
finest C1 Corvette's you'll ever see. It features a gorgeous color
combination and is one of the best driving early model Vette's
we've ever had. This was the start of the solid color Vette era
that would remain until 1978. It was also the last year for the C1
Corvettes and ended solid axles along with being the last year for
the exposed headlights until 2005. In the paragraphs to follow we
will give a brief description of the exterior, interior, and
heartbeat of this Chevrolet but first we would like to tell you a

We will start off with the exterior of this '62. The body on it is
nearly flawless with perfect body lines and excellent fit of all
the panels. This car is finished in the Honduras Maroon that has
been redone to a gorgeous shine that's slick as ribbon. Countless
hours have been spent polishing it to a mirror finish. This
convertible features the matching hardtop along with having the
white soft-top as well. Up front you can see that the Bumpers are
like new along with the Corvette Script and Emblems. A date coded
windshield has been installed. We can also see that out back the
rear bumpers are equally nice along with the taillights and
Corvette Emblem. The cove lines up perfectly on both sides and we
can also see the rocker molding has been replaced and is like new.
To finish off the look it has the painted steel wheels that are
sitting on Hankook Tires and have new centers.
Next, we will look at the interior of this Vette. On the inside
it's done in the timeless black that flows perfectly with the
exterior. Both seats are in phenomenal condition along with all the
padding and springs. The door panels are equally nice along with
the carpet. Looking at the dash you will be thoroughly impressed
with how nice all the gauges are. They all look like new and are
working as they should, down to the quartz clock. The dash is
nearly perfect along with the grab bar and the factory style
steering wheel. Both seal plates are like new as well and have an
excellent fit. Inside the trunk it has the trunk mat along with the
spare and tire changing tools.
Finally, we will get to the heartbeat of this Chevrolet. Under the
hood it's powered by a 300 HP 327 engine that has been bored .030",
balanced, and fitted with a 350 HP Hydraulic Cam. It's mated to the
Borg Warner T10 Transmission and the Solid Axle 3725899 Casting
with around 3.55 Posi Gears. The Engine is dressed in the finned
valve covers and the stock style air cleaner. It's setup with the
GM Intake and Carter Four Barrel Carb. To keep it cool it has the
clutch fan with the correct DeWitt's radiator. For brakes it has
drums that have all been rebuilt with new shoes, hardware, hoses
and the steel lines. Also, a new gas tank and sending unit have
been installed. When you look under this C1 you're sure to be
impressed as al of the floors looks original with no signs of abuse
or damage. The frame is all solid as well and looks equally
impressive. You can see that all the suspension under the front is
in great condition.
