Vehicle Description
This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette convertible exemplifies the model that
transformed the sports car concept from an unobtainable novelty
vehicle to the coveted ride so many Americans have eagerly sought
to pull into their garages. Its vintage aesthetics are
museum-worthy, starting with the graceful lines of an exterior that
wears period-correct white paint. When it comes time to hit the
highway, this droptop classic's 5.7-liter V8 has been outfitted
with a pair of aftermarket 4-barrel carburetors that sit atop an
Edelbrock intake manifold, so you know you'll be in for fun times
behind the wheel. And while uncooperative weather is so often the
foe of classic convertibles, keeping them confined to the garage
for far too much of the year, this 'Vette truly is a car for all
seasons. It features a brand-new convertible top that seals nicely
to keep the elements at bay during cooler months and its air
conditioning is running in top form to keep you comfortable when
the weather heats up. Climb inside and you'll be surrounded by an
inspiring cockpit, at the center of which is a pair of bucket seats
whose red vinyl surfaces are free from any tears or staining as
they loom above new carpeting and floor mats. You'll find clear,
functional gauges inside an instrument cluster that was truly
revolutionary for its time - including a new gas tank sending unit
that combines with a new gas gauge to provide accurate fuel
readings when you're out on the road. A set of factory-style wheels
that are wrapped with white wall tires adds the perfect finishing
touch to this iconic convertible.
