first-generation Corvette remains one of the most recognizable
American sports cars ever built, and this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette
takes that legendary platform to an entirely new level. As the
final and most refined year of the solid-axle C1, the 1962 model is
highly sought after by collectors for its clean styling, exposed
quad taillights, and increased displacement small-block V8. This
particular example has been transformed into a museum-quality
RestoMod through a meticulous frame-off restoration completed in
2020, blending period-correct appearance with carefully selected
performance upgrades. With more than $200,000 invested and fewer
than 700 miles accumulated since completion, it presents as an
exceptional showpiece that is equally capable on the open
road.Finished in stunning Honduras Maroon, the body showcases
show-quality fit and finish with laser-straight panels, exceptional
paintwork, and brilliant chrome throughout. Every detail reflects
the level of craftsmanship invested during the restoration, from
the precision body gaps to the beautifully restored brightwork. A
black convertible top complements the rich exterior finish, while
the classic Corvette styling is further enhanced by tasteful
detailing that preserves the timeless character of Chevrolet's
iconic sports car. Whether displayed under showroom lights or
cruising with the top down, this Corvette commands attention from
every angle.Inside, the black interior remains faithful to the
Corvette's sporting roots while presenting in outstanding
condition. The cockpit features beautifully restored upholstery,
correct trim, and a driver-focused layout centered around the
iconic dual-cowl dashboard. The addition of a Hurst shifter
provides precise gear changes while adding an unmistakable
period-performance feel. Every switch, gauge, and control
contributes to an authentic driving experience, making this
Corvette just as enjoyable behind the wheel as it is admired from
the outside.Power comes from a professionally built 327 cubic-inch
Chevrolet V8 that has been bored to 331 cubic inches and produces
an impressive 360 horsepower. Paired with a desirable 4-speed
manual transmission and a stout 3.70 Posi-Traction rear axle, this
Corvette delivers exhilarating acceleration while maintaining the
engaging driving characteristics enthusiasts expect from a classic
C1. Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes provide modern stopping
confidence, transforming the driving experience without
compromising the car's vintage appeal.Included with the sale is an
extraordinary bonus that sets this Corvette apart from virtually
any other example on the marketa museum-quality, correct 327
cubic-inch fuel-injected engine professionally built by renowned
engine builder J. Hamm. Beautifully detailed and correct in
appearance, this highly collectible powerplant represents a
significant value on its own and offers the next owner the rare
opportunity to preserve, display, or install a historically correct
fuel-injected drivetrain. Its inclusion elevates this already
remarkable Corvette into an exceptionally desirable package for
both collectors and enthusiasts alike.Combining concours-level
craftsmanship, outstanding performance, and one of the most
desirable model years of the first-generation Corvette, this 1962
Chevrolet Corvette is an exceptional opportunity to own a
no-expense-spared RestoMod with investment-grade pedigree. From its
stunning Honduras Maroon finish and expertly built performance
drivetrain to the included fuel-injected engine and incredibly low
