This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a numbers-matching
example finished in its factory-correct Ermine White over Black
vinyl upholstery and powered by its original 327ci V8 factory rated
at 300 horsepower. The engine is paired with a desirable Muncie
four-speed manual transmission, making this an excellent
representation of the final and most refined year of Chevrolets
iconic first-generation Corvette. Completed at Chevrolets St.
Louis, Missouri assembly plant and identified by VIN 20867D106043,
this Corvette is one of 14,531 examples produced for the 1962 model
year, the last year before the introduction of the revolutionary
Sting Ray in 1963. Finished in Ermine White, the fiberglass body
showcases the clean, purposeful styling unique to the 1962 model,
including the blacked-out grille, sculpted rear deck, exposed trunk
lid, quad round taillamps, and chrome bumper treatment that defined
the final C1 Corvette. The crisp white finish is beautifully
complemented by the Black vinyl interior, creating one of the most
enduring and recognizable color combinations offered by Chevrolet.
Power comes from the original, numbers-matching 327ci small-block
V8, equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and factory rated at 300
horsepower. Coupled with the four-speed manual transmission, the
drivetrain delivers the strong performance and responsive character
that established the 327 as one of Chevrolets greatest engines. The
300-horsepower version is especially admired for its balance of
reliability, drivability, and spirited performance. Inside, the
cockpit features bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl, a
machine-turned aluminum instrument panel, a 160-mph speedometer, an
8,000-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges monitoring fuel level,
coolant temperature, oil pressure, battery condition, and an analog
clock. The floor-mounted shifter provides precise engagement
through the four-speed gearbox, enhancing the engaging driving
experience that has made the C1 Corvette an enduring collector
favorite. Highlights Numbers-matching 327ci V8 Factory-rated 300
