Factory correct down to the T3 headlights, dated spark plug wires,
reproduction tires and even the stencils on the frame! Body off
frame restored! The #'s matching fuel injected 327 and 4 speed
manual transmission make for an exhilarating ride. Only 1,918 were
produced in 1962. Highly detailed and nicely documented with
pictures of the restoration. An absolute winner!
EXTERIOR: Far better fit and finish than it had when it was new!
Striking Roman Red paint is smooth and slick to the touch, shiny
and sexy to the eye. It's a paint job to be very proud of. Looking
down the side of the body it is amazingly straight with smooth
contours and crisp lines. The panels have all been nicely aligned
with great gaps that are well above average. The doors close easily
with minimal effort. The bumpers have been rechromed and the
remaining brightwork all has a glorious shine. The glass has been
replaced as well as the rubber seals and fuzzy strips. The black
convertible top looks brand new, and the top frame totally
restored. The convertible top lid closes precisely with a solid
thud. It's rolling on 15" steel rims adorned with sweet spinner
hubcaps that are in amazing condition. The reproduction Firestone
whitewall tires are also in great shape.
INTERIOR: Painstakingly refinished! Sharp black bucket seats have
fresh upholstery and cushions. The correct 4 speed manual shifter
proudly sits between them. The door panels, armrests, levers,
handles, and reflectors all look fresh. The entire dash area was
meticulously restored including the gauges. It has the correct 6500
redline for the fuelie motor. The dash pad has an excellent fit.
The steering wheel has a great feel and look to it. The carpet
seems fresh and brand new. Inside of the storage compartment is
neatly painted. It still has the original style Wonder Bar radio.
Every detail has been touched upon, and overall, this interior is
amazing!

Block Date 04/16/1962
Suffix Code RF
Head Number 3782461
Rochester Fuel Injection # 7017360

This was the first year for the 327 and the fuelie was the top dog.
They came with special heads with large ports, 11:25 compression,
domed aluminum pistons, solid lifters, hotter cam, dual point
distributor and more. It is topped off with the beautifully
refurbished correct Rochester fuel injection system. The finned
aluminum valve covers with Corvette script are so sweet looking.
The polished ignition shielding is factory correct and the spark
plug wires are even dated to this car. The cooling system was
restored and is correct with 1962 dates on the radiator and
expansion tank. All the belts and hoses have been replaced. Every
component is restored and stock, the generator even has correct
numbers. Beautifully detailed!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are
painted slick just like the body. The lock mechanism and
weatherstrip were both replaced. Inside is detailed and painted
red. It has the correct divider and rubber mat. Under the mat is
the jack and spare also restored.
UNDERSIDE: Meticulous body off frame restoration! The entire
steering system was rebuilt and looks fresh. The suspension also is
fresh with all new bushings, links, springs, and shocks etc.
Assembly line markings were reapplied. The 4 wheel drum brakes look
excellent and the emergency brake is hooked up too. The entire dual
exhaust system was replaced and is neatly bent with a nice black
finish. Looking up at the #'s matching 327 engine, it is fresh and
has the correct starter and canister style oil filter complete with
decal. The #'s matching 4 speed manual transmission appears to be
recently serviced and has a new mount too. The rebuilt driveshaft
leads back to a fresh looking posi rear end. The floors are in
great condition with the correct raw fiberglass finish which is
rare, typically they are painted black to cover repairs. The frame
was also prepped and painted with a smooth black finish and even
has stencil markings duplicated. It is detailed under here!
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
I'm very impressed overall with the restoration! This is a keeper
that oozes quality. Very desirable features, colors, and amazing
factory correct restored condition! This is collector grade.
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
