Vehicle Description
The best of the last!� That's what the '62 Corvette is often
referred to.� By '62 first generation production was coming to an
end after 11 years.� The designers and engineers a the St Louis
plant had taken the C1 about as far as they could in its current
configuration.� A new Corvette was on the horizon for '63 and
excitement was brewing for the first ever Corvette Coupe that was
due to be introduced along with the next generation Convertible.�
But there was still a few surprises in store for those who chose to
purchase a '62.� First was the overall clean and uncluttered
appearance of the '62's exterior.� Those venerable side coves were
still in place� but the stainless surrounding it was gone.� And you
could no longer get it in a contrasting color.� In place of the
missing trim was a ribbed rocker panel molding.� The second change
was the increase in cubic inches . . . and horsepower in the engine
compartment with the introduction of the 327 small block.� Gone
were the optional dual quad set-up.� But in their place was a
choice of new 4 engines.� The milder base 250hp and 300hp with
hydraulic lifters to the wilder 340hp carb'd and 360hp Fuel
Injected offerings with mechanical lifters.� Any of these choices
were guaranteed to give you nothing but a great driving experience
all the way around!This very cool '62 has been beautifully frame-up
restored and is very correct.� From its stunning Roman Red exterior
complemented by its matching interior to its correct #'s matching
340hp engine.� Optioned with rare power windows and both hard and
soft tops.� It's also an N.C.R.S. Top Flight Award winner!�
Everything works as it should.� Even the clock!� This '62 would do
well as a weekend cruiser show car . . . or both! Visit Corvette
