Vehicle Description
This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette represents the final year of the first
generation in all the best ways. It takes a sharp-looking icon and
gives it the right touch of investments - including the upgraded
ZZ4 V8 - to deliver a detailed classic that also is a proper
driver.
This Corvette was restored only about a decade ago, and since then,
it has spent most of that time in the hands of one careful owner.
So the red paint has the clean and solid style that you want for a
true red-blooded icon. You'll love how there's a deep luster that
makes it look good when you go cruising today, and it's just a
professional detail away from being ready for the car show. The
other reason why it's so show-ready is that you have a clean and
complete package with bright hub caps, even brighter bumpers, clean
lines, complete trim, and even a new set of cleverly coordinating
redline tires.
The black folding is attractive against the red paint, and the
color-matched hardtop makes for quite an attractive coupe. But of
course, the way that you'll enjoy this one the most is with no roof
at all. The all-black interior has a timelessly stylish look
against the red exterior, and so that seems ideal for a timelessly
stylish car. It has all the best driver-oriented features, like
bucket seats, classic grippy steering wheel, robust floor shifter,
and a full set of gauges, including the important tach
front-and-center. It has the right little details, like the
dash-mounted rear-view mirror and the AM radio that's still there
for display. This is the last time a Corvette would have a trunk
for nearly 35 years, and so that even has a clean and complete
style any time you want to fully tell this part of the Corvette's
history.
The motor is a nice upgrade. The small block V8 is what elevated
the C1 into a true sports car status, and so this one continues
that tradition by elevating it with a fresher crate motor. This ZZ4
350 cubic-inch V8 showcases the center bolt head design with the
attractive black valve covers red Chevy lettering. You also have a
Holley four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake, electronic
ignition, and headers feeding the dual exhaust. And the four-speed
manual transmission gives you proper control over it all. But while
the motor gives you added power, the full powertrain package makes
sure it gives you the full classic C1 experience that lets you feel
the road like only a lightweight vintage car can.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, build receipts,
and restoration photos. It's all part of a history showing proper
investments and good care that makes for an irresistible icon. Call
