1962 Chevrolet Corvette

While the new eighth-generation Corvette is undoubtedly exciting, there is still nothing like the first generation of GMs halo car to get the hearts of enthusiasts pumping. But, by combining many of todays modern technology with the old-school-cool look of a C1, this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod embodies the best of both worlds. Fully repainted in Corvette Red to go along with its matching accessory hard top, this car has just 31 miles on its odometer since it was rebuilt. Inside, we find a set of red leather bucket seats and complementing Al Knoch door panels and upholstery. A padded three-spoke steering wheel sits in front of the original six-pod gauge cluster setup, outfitted with upgraded pieces to give the interior a more modern feel. A digital Bluetooth-enabled Jensen touchscreen and upgraded HVAC knobs contrast the dash-mounted rearview mirror and expletive-bar grab handle with its Corvette nameplate spelled out in 1960s font. Pop up the hallmark front-hinged hood, and we find a late-model naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter LS3 V-8. Producing around 430 horsepower in factory form, this particular small block retains its lightweight block and heads, but has been upgraded with a Texas Speed cam, long tube headers, and a trick aftermarket active exhaust that can be controlled via a keyfob button. That power is then routed through a contemporary Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission before being sent out to a C4 Corvette rear end. A staggered set of polished chrome C7 Z06-style wheels measuring 18 inches up front and 19 inches out back are shod in 275/35R-18 and massive 345/30R-19 Michelin Pilot 4S performance tires (respectively) that put far more power to the pavement than the original rubber this car came with.

Four-wheel power disc brakes featuring cross-drilled and slotted rotors offer up a level of safety and security that even racecars of the 1960s would have trouble matching. So, if youve always wanted a Corvette and love the look of the first generation but want late-model performance, this is the car youve been searching for. Dont wait, call today!
