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 manually operated soft
top up or down, this car demands attention wherever it goes.
Inside, we find a clean black leather interior. Its three-spoke,
rope-wrapped steering wheel makes it easier to keep a good grip
than the original it replaces. That wheel, with its Crossed Flags
center cap emblem, sits in front of the venerable six-pod gauge
setup, keeping the driver apprised of all 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. Featuring traditional
Chevrolet valve covers, a single four-barrel carburetor with an
electric choke, an aluminum radiator, an electric fan, a set of
Hooker long tube headers, and true-dual exhaust, this Bowtie beauty
gives it an authentic feel and sound. Power is routed through a
tried-and-true Muncie four-speed manual transmission, keeping
things fun and interesting on both short and long drives.
