When it comes to collecting Corvettes, generally speaking, the
final year of a generation is often less risky than the first. Most
of the kinks and bugs have been worked out, and the final year
allows owners the benefit of engineers learning from previous years
and enjoying their chosen ride to the fullest. This Roman Red 1962
Chevrolet Corvette represents the final year of the lusted-after
first generation of GM's halo car. With its white, manually
operated soft top up or down, this car demands attention in its
red-on-red configuration.
Inside, we find the matching red interior to be correct, stock, and
possibly original. Its three-spoke steering wheel sits in front of
the venerable six-pod gauge setup, allowing the driver to keep
apprised of all the essential data without taking their eyes off
the road. Simple HVAC knobs and pulls sit midway up the center
stack, while a classically-cool analog clock should run backwards
because riding in this car feels like going back in time.
Under the signature front-hinged Corvette hood, we find a 350
cubic-inch overhead valve V-8 engine. The stock heads are covered
with traditional Chevrolet valve covers, while a single four-barrel
Holley carburetor feeds into an Offenhauser intake manifold before
ultimately exiting through a FlowMaster dual exhaust, giving this
Bowtie beauty an authentic sound. A numbers-matching four-speed
manual transmission keeps things fun and interesting on both short
and long drives.
