Vehicle Description
There's something truly captivating about a classic American sports
car, and the 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Convertible is no
exception. This particular example, one of only 4,412 built with
the high-powered 327 cubic inch, 340 horsepower V8 engine,
epitomizes the spirit of the open road and the thrill of true
performance driving. It's a car that encapsulates an era, and with
its #'s matching engine and original 4-speed manual transmission,
this Corvette is a genuine piece of automotive history ready to
offer its next owner an unforgettable driving experience.
From the moment you lay eyes on its factory-correct Ermine White
exterior, it's clear that this 1962 Corvette is something special.
The car's sleek lines and unmistakable curves are enhanced by a
pristine white hardtop that shows great condition and complements
its stylish demeanor. For those sun-soaked cruising days, a white
soft top is included, still functional though showing some wear
from its many years on the road - a testament to the car's active
history as a cherished driver. But what truly sets this Corvette
apart is the striking red interior, a perfect contrast to its
exterior, providing a bold and luxurious cabin for driver and
passenger alike. Every detail of this interior exudes the 1960s
charm, from the sculpted seats to the classic dash layout.
Equipped with four brand-new radial wide white-wall tires, this
Corvette is ready to hit the road with style and confidence. The
addition of a Harrison aluminum radiator keeps the powerful V8
engine running cool, even on the hottest days. Under the hood, the
original, #'s matching 327ci V8 engine roars to life, producing a
remarkable 340 horsepower - a figure that, even by today's
standards, delivers exhilarating performance. It's paired with a
4-speed manual transmission, giving the driver total control and a
tactile connection to the road that modern cars often fail to
match. This combination is what makes this Corvette not just a
collector's item, but a joy to drive.
An older restoration, believed to have been completed in the 1990s,
has preserved much of this car's original character while adding
just the right amount of patina to evoke its storied past. This was
the last year of the solid axle generation, which makes it a rare
find for enthusiasts who appreciate the Corvette's pure,
unadulterated driving dynamics. The rear trunk compartment, a
feature phased out in later models, adds a touch of practicality to
this otherwise sporty design. And, of course, the iconic quad
headlights are a signature touch that reminds us of the Corvette's
unique place in automotive history.
While the Wonderbar radio is currently non-operational, this
Corvette is a car that sings its own tune. It is a great driver,
combining vintage charm with road-ready reliability. It's a vehicle
that's meant to be driven and enjoyed, a true testament to the
golden age of American motoring. For those who appreciate the art
of driving and the thrill of owning a classic, this #'s matching
1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Convertible is not just a car; it's a
lifestyle, a statement, and an opportunity to relive the past while
enjoying the present.
If you're searching for a vehicle that embodies power, history, and
the unmatched feeling of driving a true American sports car, this
Corvette awaits. With its 340hp engine ready to roar, it's poised
to offer a driving experience that's as thrilling today as it was
when it first rolled off the assembly line. Take the wheel, feel
the road, and make this piece of motoring legend your own.
