Posted 09/08/2019 Mecum Auctions // Monterey 2019 Lot F165 See this link for pics. https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0819-380882/1962-chevrolet-corvette-big-brake-fuelie/ Factory fuel injected Corvette Frame-off restoration to correct specs completed over the course of 26 months Period correct fuel injected 327 CI V-8 engine 4-speed transmission Positraction rear end Sateen Silver with Red interior Matched set of factory original 15x5.5 steel wheels Hardtop and soft top This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is among the rarest and most desirable of the final-year solid-axle Corvettes as it is one of only 246 factory fuel-injected examples also equipped with the RPO 687 Heavy Duty Brakes and Suspension package. This comprehensive option package endowed the 1962 Corvette with the superior handling, braking and durability required to meet the demands of full-bore high-performance driving and track duty, and because Chief Corvette Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov insisted on balanced performance, it was only available with the RPO 582 327/360 HP small-block V-8 and Positraction rear end. The 1962 Corvette was outwardly little changed from the 1961 model, which had introduced the ducktail rear styling that foreshadowed the new 1963 Stingray coupe and convertible. The stainless-steel trim that had defined the Corvettes body-side coves since 1956 was dropped in favor of a simple bead line in the fiberglass body panels, a change that eliminated two-tone paint schemes. Headlight bezels were painted body color instead of chromed, rocker- panel trim strips made their first appearance, and the side cove vents featured bright comb trim in place of the previous years three chromed spears. The most significant change came under the hood, where the workhorse 283 CI small-block was replaced with the marvelous new 327 CI version that delivered an increase in peak output from 315 to 360 HP in fuel-injected versions. The recipient of a frame-off restoration to correct specs completed over the course of 26 months, this immaculate 1962 Corvette Big Brake Fuelie is powered by a period-correct 327/360 HP V-8 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission backed by the aforementioned Positraction third member. Combining beautiful Sateen Silver paint with a red interior, it is completed with Firestone tires on a matched set of factory-original 5.5x15-inch wheels, as well as both soft and auxiliary hard tops, creating an altogether striking example of the racing-grade 1962 Corvette.
