Vehicle Description
This magnificent custom 1962 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is the
ultimate Resto-Mod C1 with a GM Performance LS3 V8 engine, 4L65
automatic transmission and Art Morrison GT Sport chassis. It was
built by classic Corvette specialists Loomis Automotive in Oklahoma
City, OK, which has been in business since 1900 and has known about
this car for many years because it was locally owned by Ray Peters.
The car originally had a white exterior with a black interior. Tons
of receipts from ranging from 1983 through 2012 are included. The
car was a product of 4-year build that started in 2017 and was
finished in 2021. Since completion it has been driven 300 test
miles. The vision of this build was to design a C1 that would be
easy on the eyes and also extremely user-friendly. Everything on
this car was restored or replaced with great attention to detail.
The exterior was tastefully designed, incorporating a 1958 Corvette
chrome front grille and headlight bezels, along with chrome side
spears. It was refinished in a beautiful shade of white, which
dresses it well. The original hardtop was painted to match, and a
hardtop stand is included. The paintwork was performed to high
show-quality standards. It was outfitted with a new black Stayfast
cloth top. It's equipped with modern Octane Lighting LED Red Halo
parking lights, Oracle headlight bulbs and LED taillights. The car
rolls on EVOD ACC Classic hubcap polished 18-inch wheels with
spinner center caps engraved with 1962 cross flags. As documented,
the wheels alone were $9,318. The car grips the pavement with
Diamond Back Classic red line tires. The interior was also
tastefully designed, keeping the original factory appearance with
subtle enhancements. The gorgeous Al Knoch black leather interior
includes the hardtop molded headliner, visors, dash pad, grab bar,
kick panels, door panels, armrests and Corvette-embossed bucket
seats with AOK seat tracks. Some interior custom features include
Dakota Digital VHX black-face gauges, Antique Automotive radio with
AM/FM/Bluetooth and Alpine amplifier, Ididit tilt steering column,
3-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, modern seat belts, Lokar
pedals, folding cup holders and Daytona carpeting. The trunk
compartment was boxed and upholstered with black leather material.
It has a charging cord for storage. The painted engine compartment
is highly detailed throughout. It has a new complete American
Autowire wiring harness. The car is powered by a new Connect &
Cruise GM Performance 6.2-liter LS3 engine rated with 430hp. The
engine was outfitted with a Hooker black textured oil pan, black
and red valve covers, silver air intake tube, Billet Specialties
Tru Trac pulley system and power steering reservoir, chrome
alternator and Powermaster Performance starter. The engine is
cooled by a DeWitts aluminum radiator with chrome fan shroud, SPAL
electric fan, black billet coolant overfill canister and crossed
flags engraved radiator cap. The engine breathes through Ultimate
headers and a completely polished dual exhaust system with
MagnaFlow mufflers. The engine is coupled to a new GM Performance
4L65 automatic transmission with Lokar shifter. The power is
transferred to the gray powder-coated 9-inch rear end housing with
31-spline Strange axles, Dana 1350 yoke and 3.70 gears. The
undercarriage is also highly detailed throughout. The Art Morrison
GT Sport chassis was powder-coated silver. It's equipped with power
rack & pinion steering, polished suspension with coilovers and PAC
Racing springs, and Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes. This car has been
completely serviced and detailed, which is documented with an
invoice that's included. From the MS CLASSIC CARS Collection. **VIN
