Vehicle Description
*1962 Chevrolet CRC Corvette*There is no doubt that the C1
Corvettes Chevrolet was building in the late 1950s and early 1960s
are some of the most beautiful cars to ever come out of an American
manufacturer. With their sporting lines, distinctive chrome trim,
and unique "cove" paint jobs, these cars are instantly recognizable
and even 60 years after production, the car many people think about
when they hear the word "Corvette." Although the design is no doubt
iconic, the driving experience of these classic cars is less
fantastic - by today's standards, they aren't particularly fast nor
very refined - but that's where CRC comes in. CRC stands for
Classic Reflection Coachwork - a company that uses computer scanned
models of classic Corvettes, to build accurate bodies out of carbon
fiber, that are then installed on modern Corvette chassis.This 1962
CRC Corvette is based on a C5-Generation car, and the build was
completed in 2025. Finished in the classic C1 color combination of
red with a white side cove, this Corvette maintains the proportions
of the original car, but with a more modern chassis and running
gear beneath. A hallmark of the 1962 Corvette is the use of the
same rear-end design that would be used on the upcoming Stingray,
and the quad-rear lights which would go on to become a signature
Corvette design element, used to this day. What makes this example
even more appealing is the set of Custom Curtis wheels - modern
alloys made to look like the hubcaps that would have come on a 1962
Corvette originally, but sized up to fit modern brakes behind them.
This also allows for modern tires, which on this car are a custom
set of Diamond Back Whitewalls that really complete the authentic
look.The interior is pulled from the C5 generation Corvette, but
completely re-trimmed in red and black leather by Luxor. There are
numerous benefits to carrying over the C5 interior, including the
seamless integration of a high-quality OEM stereo, cold air
conditioning and a good heater. Additionally, one of the main
complaints of people who buy a Corvette from this generation is the
seating position - because of how the body is designed, you can't
move the seat back and the pedals are straight out in front of you,
making for a pretty awkward driving position. Thanks to the larger
chassis of the C5, this car is comfortable for a road trip and fits
people of all sizes.Powering the CRC Corvette is an 5.7-liter LS1
V8 that produces 350 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque. Built with
fuel injection and coil-on-plug ignition, the LS1 is one of the
stoutest V8s to come from Chevrolet and offers great performance
and remarkable efficiency. This engine is paired to a 4L60E 4-speed
automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.
Although mechanicals on this car are largely stock, a custom
exhaust by Speed Sports of Mesa, Arizona songs great and features
killer-looking quad exit tips.If you have long dreamed of owning a
C1 Corvette, but haven't wanted to deal with everything that comes
with old car ownership, this CRC Corvette is the car for you. With
outstanding styling and numerous custom appointments, you get all
of the excitement of having a classic in your garage, with modern
comfort, convenience and performance.*Key Features* * CRC Custom
