This restored 1962 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a fuel-injected LS1 5.7-liter V8 equipped with Z06 heads and a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Features include power disc brakes, a Retro Sound Wonder Bar radio with Bluetooth, and a removable body-color hardtop. This rust-free Roman Red Corvette with a white convertible top over a red vinyl interior is available now and comes with uninstalled parts including the reportedly original 327ci V8, four-speed manual transmission, exhaust, steering wheel, and Wonder Bar radio, and a clear Florida title in the seller's name.
As part of a restoration completed under prior ownership, this Corvette was refinished in its reportedly original Roman Red. Features include chrome bumpers, quad headlights, a chrome driver-side mirror cap, rocker trim, a white convertible top, a removable body-color hardtop, and quad taillights. The seller notes a small patch in the convertible top.
A set of black steel wheels with full Corvette hub caps is wrapped in whitewall radial tires.
The bucket seats and matching door panels are upholstered in red vinyl. Features include red carpeting with matching floor mats, a floor-mounted manual shifter, manual windows, power steering and brakes, an aftermarket 13-inch steering wheel, a red fiberglass dashboard with a red vinyl top pad, and a Bluetooth-compatible Retro Sound Wonder Bar radio. The seller notes this car is not equipped with air conditioning.
A 160-mph speedometer, 7K-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, battery voltage, and oil pressure are located ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 3,900 miles, but the true mileage is unknown. According to the seller, the odometer was reset when the new engine was installed during the restoration process under previous ownership.
Power is provided by a fuel-injected LS1 5.7-liter V8 equipped with Z06 heads and backed by a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. The upgraded engine and transmission package was installed in approximately 2016 or 2017. Underhood features include retro-style fuel rail covers with Corvette logos, a billet aluminum master cylinder cover, and dual electric fans. The oil was changed 500 miles ago and a new alternator, serpentine belt, and battery were installed earlier this year.
This Corvette was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear drive axle. Braking is provided by upgraded power disc brakes.
