1962 Chevrolet Corvette

Another beautiful Basil Classic... this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette showing 68,735 miles has been handpicked and meets Joe Basils standards of excellence and tradition of fine automobiles since 1951.

This 1962 Corvette is a beautifully finished example, wearing a silver exterior over a black interior, and complete with full documentation supporting its history and build. The car retains its classic C1 styling cues, including the iconic triple taillights and chrome-trimmed removable hardtop. At the same time, a set of chrome American Racing wheels gives it a subtle, tasteful upgrade over stock steel wheels. Underneath, this Corvette has been thoughtfully modernized for improved performance and drivability. It features SSBC brakes for confident, modern stopping power, along with custom control arms, coil-overs, and a Unisteer rack-and-pinion steering setup, giving this classic Corvette handling and ride quality far beyond what it had when it left the factory in 1962. Custom exhaust work rounds out the chassis upgrades, with a stainless-steel exhaust system featuring Flowmaster mufflers and a custom tailpipe delivering a great sound to match its performance-oriented drivetrain. Under the hood, the small-block V8 is dressed with correct Chevrolet-script valve covers and a chrome air cleaner, and the car also features a custom trunk setup and a cowl hood for added engine-bay clearance and classic muscle-car styling. Inside, the black interior remains original, featuring the correct Corvette-script dash trim, factory gauges, and a 4-speed manual shifter - all still wearing the patina and character of an unrestored original interior. For added comfort, this Corvette is also equipped with Vintage Air air conditioning, making it easy to drive and enjoy in any season. With its blend of original charm and thoughtful, well-executed upgrades - from the chassis to the cooling system - this Corvette offers a fantastic driving experience while retaining the classic look and feel that make the C1 generation so desirable.
