For Sale: 1962 Chevrolet Corvette in Kentwood, Michigan

GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette, a stunning example of America's most beloved sports car, finished in elegant white over a vivid red leather interior. The final year of the first-generation Corvette (C1), this model beautifully blends 1950s design charm with early 1960s performance improvements. Its exterior gleams with freshly redone chrome, a white removable hardtop, and red-trimmed tires that perfectly accent the paint and complete the vintage aesthetic. The classic curves, bullet-style taillights, and toothy chrome grille make this Corvette an unmistakable icon that still draws attention wherever it goes.

Under the hood sits a 327 cubic inch V8 engine rated at 250 horsepower, paired to a 4-speed manual transmission that delivers a true hands-on driving experience. This was the first and only year the 327 engine was offered in the C1 Corvette, marking a significant step up from the earlier 283ci motors. True to its roots, the car still runs a generator instead of an alternator, maintaining authenticity while benefiting from updated valve covers for a bit of modern reliability. The engine fires up confidently and provides smooth, responsive power, a perfect mix of classic American rumble and approachable performance.

Inside, the red leather cabin captures the essence of 1960s sports car design, with its dual-cowl dash, red-and-white two-tone steering wheel, and polished gauge cluster housing fuel, temperature, battery, oil, and a large tachometer. Crank windows, an AM radio, and an analog dash clock keep things delightfully simple, focusing on pure driving enjoyment. The smaller aftermarket steering wheel provides a tighter feel and more connection to the road, making this Corvette as fun to drive as it is to admire.

The 1962 Corvette represents the end of an era, the final C1 before the radically redesigned Sting Ray took over. It was also the most refined version of the original body style, offering both improved handling and stronger powertrains. This particular example is a fantastic driver-quality car that looks phenomenal and performs with confidence. Whether cruising to a show or just enjoying a backroad on a sunny day, this Corvette remains a timeless piece of American automotive history.
