1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Why This Car Is Special The 1962 model year ended up being the last model of that era before the much talked about second-generation Corvette was to debut in 1963. In the last ten years, with brilliant engineers and designers like Edward Cole, Zora Arkus-Duntov and Bill Mitchell, the 1962 C1 Corvette had become an American Sports Car Classic. The 1962 Chevrolet Corvette we have here at Skyway Classics has the original 327 cubic inch 340 horse numbers matching engine (verified by the engine stamp pad numbers and casting number on the block), rust color, White Convertible Top, black bucket seat interior with the factory Tach and the Wonder Bar Radio. 1962 Corvette Rare 327-340 horsepower engine Numbers matching engine (verified by the engine stamp pad numbers and casting number) 4-barrel carb Aluminum intake Factory cast iron exhaust manifolds Chrome lid air cleaner Cast aluminum finned Chevrolet script valve covers Nice and period correct engine compartment Four-speed manual factory 4-speed manual transmission Steel wheels with the chrome hubcaps White sidewall tires Black leather bucket seat interior Twin bucket seats Black/polished steering wheel Black carpeting Factory gauges and instrumentation Wonderbar push button radio Matching door panels Roman Red paint Chrome front and rear bumpers Chrome windshield trim Cross-flag emblems White manual soft-top Mechanical Our Corvette has the original 327 cubic inch 340 horse numbers matching engine (verified by the engine stamp pad numbers and casting number on the block, that retains the correct look with its 4-barrel carb, aluminum intake, factory cast iron exhaust manifolds, chrome lid air cleaner, cast aluminum finned Chevrolet script valve covers and sits in a nice and period correct engine compartment.

This Corvette has Roman Red paint that is shiny with great body fitment over its sweet lines, chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome windshield trim, cross-flag emblems, and chrome side mirror. It has a white manual soft-top and nothing looks classier than a red Corvette with a white convertible top and white sidewall tires. Conclusion The 1962 Corvette was the fastest and best handling Corvette made to date back then and to some it was the pinnacle of Corvettes in that era and beyond.
