This custom 1962 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a
Chevrolet crate LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine rated at 436hp, mated to a
4L65E 4-speed automatic transmission. The intake features polished
55mm-profile air horns and a gold Cerakote-coated throttle body
manifold by Borla Performance. The chassis is a powder-coated Satin
Black Roadster Shop platform with independent front and rear
suspension, aluminum control arms, front and rear sway bars, and
power rack & pinion steering. Braking is handled by 14-inch Baer
disc brakes at all four corners. Supporting components include a
Rick's custom fuel tank and a Mattson custom radiator. This build
rides on custom 19-inch Schott wheels color-matched to the Sunset
Gold Metallic exterior, which are wrapped in Nitto 555 tires. The
body retains its original panels and is one of 9,670 Corvettes
produced for the model year. The custom interior, designed by
Albert Lara, features Oyster White leather upholstery, light gold
leather-wrapped dash, Mercedes-Benz carpeting, power windows,
Vintage Air system, custom seatbelts, Sparco steering wheel, Ididit
steering column and Dakota Digital gauges fitted to the original
cove. Restored original stainless console components are also
retained. The build was completed over four years by Joe Peck
Customs. The sale includes a bound photo book documenting the
entire build process.
