1962 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale - Frame-Off Restoration, Numbers
Matching 327ci/340hp LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1962
Chevrolet Corvette Chevrolet Corvette (C1) is the first generation
of the now classic Corvette sports car introduced late in the 1953
model year and produced through 1962. It is commonly referred to as
the "solid-axle" generation, as the independent rear suspension did
not appear until the 1963 Sting Ray. In 1961, the rear of the car
was completely redesigned with the addition of a "duck tail" with
the now iconic four round lights. This taillight treatment would
continue for all following model years of Corvettes. The most
noticeable exterior changes for 1962 were the removal of the side
cover chrome trim. Without the trim bright work, it was not
possible to offer the coves in a contrasting color so for the first
time since 1955 Corvettes were offered in solid colors only. A
blacked-out grille and ribbed chrome rocker panel molding were new.
The standard features now included an electric clock, dual exhaust,
tachometer, heater and defroster, seat belts, outside rear-view
mirror and windshield washer. This was also the last year for
features like the wrap around windshield, convertible-only body
style, trunk lid and exposed headlamps that did not reappear for
many decades. This 1962 Corvette has undergone a frame off
restoration and finished in striking Sateen Silver with a black
interior and black convertible soft top. This 1962 Corvette
convertible looks ready for a cruise down Route 66. Equipped with
the optional 327/340 HP V-8 and 4-speed manual transmission, this
Corvette features a matching-numbers engine and a matching numbers
transmission. The immaculate engine compartment has been detailed
with the correct painted finish valve covers and stickers, the
appropriate air cleaner cover, cadmium-plated factory style clamps,
GM part-number stamped hoses, cadmium-plated bolts, an era-correct
polished steel distributor cover and proper Delco badging on the
generator. It wears the period-correct spinner wheel covers with
white wall bias-ply tires reflecting the vibe of high-performance
Corvettes during the early 1960s. This 1962 Corvette is the perfect
cruiser with its stunning good looks and performance, with the
desirable optional numbers matching 327ci/340hp engine, it's
begging to be driven in sunny weather with the top down. Additional
