1962 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale - Fuel Injected Numbers Matching
327/360hp, Big Brakes LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1962
Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie 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 Stingray. 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 tail light
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 rearview 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. The most significant new feature
was the Small-Block was enlarged to 327 cu in which in standard
form produced 250 bhp. However for an extra $484.20 over list
price, the option Code 582 Fuel-Injected 327 version produced 360
bhp making it the fastest of the C1 generation. This high
performance engine was only ordered on 1918 Vettes so made these
cars very rare and collectible. This 1962 Corvette Fuelie is
beautifully presented in the classic Sateen Silver exterior with a
Black interior. Of course, the main attraction of the engine bay is
the numbers matching Rochester mechanical fuel injected 327/360hp
engine . Power to the asphalt is delivered through the 4-speed
manual transmission and the Posi-traction rear end. The nicely
restored engine compartment has been detailed with the correct
valve covers and stickers, cadmium-plated factory style clamps, GM
part-number stamped hoses, cadmium-plated bolts, an polished
ignition shielding and proper Delco badging on the generator. It is
fitted with big brakes and wears period-correct steel wheels with
bias-ply tires reflecting the vibe of high-performance Corvettes
during the early 1960s. Additional options include the Wonder Bar
Radio. This 1962 Corvette is the perfect cruiser with its stunning
good looks and performance, with the desirable optional fuel
injected numbers matching 327ci/360hp engine, it's begging to be
driven in sunny weather with the top down. Additional Details: 1962
