Classic Car Overview
Here we have a beautiful, frame-off restored 1962 Corvette that likely checks most, if not all, of the boxes for a last-year C1 enthusiast. Look closely at the body and youll see Roman Red paint that looks a foot deep on the arrow-straight body. The chrome and stainless-steel trim are brilliant while the spinner-style wheel covers and period-correct, whitewall Firestone Deluxe Champion tires add the perfect finishing touch.
Note that this is a two top car and of course, both the white soft top and the matching red hardtop are similarly nice. As expected, the underside is rock-solid and clean.
Inside, everything from the dash to instruments to the door panels to the seats and carpet look as if youve gone back in time to a 1962 Chevrolet dealerships showroom. The Wonderbar signal-seeking radio is still in the dash and the red interior is a great match to the red exterior.
Underneath that long hood, the 327 V8 is original and numbers matching. Its also a very desirable specification, being the optional, high-performance 340-horsepower version. That powerhouse is matched to the original 4-speed manual gearbox that sends the power to a Positraction rear end.
Out on the road this car is simply a blast. The spirited acceleration is accompanied by a rocking soundtrack; you almost expect the radio to start playing the Beach Boys Shutdown as you run it through the gears. Handling and braking are similarly up to snuff. This amazing C1 is the ultimate in Show and Go.
