1962 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie For Sale - Numbers Matching Fuelie
327ci/360hp Engine, Triple Black LMC is very proud to offer for
sale this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie Chevrolet Corvette
introduced late in 1953 model year and produced through 1962
commonly referred to as the "solid-axle" generation. 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. 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. Suddenly, the
160-mph speedometer on the Corvette's dash became quite serious.
Racing privateers capitalized on the new engine, as Corvettes took
a class win at the 1962 Daytona Continental and won the year's SCCA
Class A-Production title. This high performance fuel injected 327ci
engine was only ordered on 1,918 Vettes making these cars very rare
and coveted by collectors alike. This final year, fuel injected
1962 Corvette offered here is an incredible example of a frame off
restoration, finished in a sought-after triple-black color scheme
and is accompanied by a matching black convertible hardtop.
Believed to be one of 1,918 1962 Corvettes equipped with the
powerful Rochester fuel injection system, the car has retained its
numbers-matching 327-cubic-inch V-8 engine, and a four-speed manual
gearbox further increases this machine's desirability. Corvette
boasted in their advertisements that 'Fuel Injection V8 and a
four-speed box isn't a drive at all, it's an emotional experience!'
True and this Tuxedo Black Corvette Hardtop/Roadster with the
327/360HP will ensure driver and passenger excitement travelling
down any style of road. Additional Details: -
