1962 Chevrolet Corvette

Factory correct down to the T3 headlights, dated spark plug wires, reproduction tires and even the stencils on the frame! Body off frame restored! The #'s matching fuel injected 327 and 4 speed manual transmission make for an exhilarating ride. Only 1,918 were produced in 1962. Highly detailed and nicely documented with pictures of the restoration. An absolute winner! EXTERIOR: Far better fit and finish than it had when it was new! Striking Roman Red paint is smooth and slick to the touch, shiny and sexy to the eye. It's a paint job to be very proud of. Looking down the side of the body it is amazingly straight with smooth contours and crisp lines. The panels have all been nicely aligned with great gaps that are well above average. The doors close easily with minimal effort. The bumpers have been rechromed and the remaining brightwork all has a glorious shine. The glass has been replaced as well as the rubber seals and fuzzy strips. The black convertible top looks brand new, and the top frame totally restored. The convertible top lid closes precisely with a solid thud. It's rolling on 15" steel rims adorned with sweet spinner hubcaps that are in amazing condition. The reproduction Firestone whitewall tires are also in great shape. INTERIOR: Painstakingly refinished! Sharp black bucket seats have fresh upholstery and cushions. The correct 4 speed manual shifter proudly sits between them. The door panels, armrests, levers, handles, and reflectors all look fresh. The entire dash area was meticulously restored including the gauges. It has the correct 6500 redline for the fuelie motor. The dash pad has an excellent fit. The steering wheel has a great feel and look to it. The carpet seems fresh and brand new. Inside of the storage compartment is neatly painted. It still has the original style Wonder Bar radio. Every detail has been touched upon, and overall, this interior is amazing! ENGINE COMPARTMENT: VIN #s matching fuel injected 327-360hp!
