Posted 09/08/2019 Mecum Auctions // Monterey 2019 Lot S149 See this link for pics. https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0819-381089/1962-chevrolet-corvette-big-brake-tanker/ 1 of 246 produced with heavy duty brakes and special suspension Photo-documented comprehensive restoration Extensive race history in California and Arizona Southern California Car Club member Fuel injected 327/360 HP V-8 engine Finned aluminum valve covers 4-speed manual transmission 4.11 Positraction rear end Quick steering 24-gallon fuel tank Roman Red with Black interior Removable hardtop Radio delete Color-matched wheels with small hubcaps Featured on the cover of Vette Magazine When young Californian Tom Mazzola purchased this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette from a local dealership in 1966, he had no idea of its true nature as one of the hottest Corvettes to leave the assembly line in 1962. However, it did not take long for the 29-year-old SCCA racer to discover that it was, in the parlance of the day, a Sebring car, one endowed at the factory with a cohesive assemblage of race-proven components developed by Corvette Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov during years of testing in competition. Offered since 1957 under various names and configurations, the optional Heavy Duty Brakes and Special Steering package included special shock absorbers, finned brake drums, internal cooling fans fed by air scoops and deflectors on the front brakes and air scoops on the rear, metallic linings, and a quick-steering adaptor. One of only 246 equipped with the Big Brake option in 1962, Mazzolas Corvette features the Rochester fuel- injected version of the new 327 CI small-block V-8 with the requisite 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear end. With the combination of fuel injection, 11.25:1 compression and the solid-lifter Duntov cam, the 327s extra displacement raised peak output from 1961s 315 HP at 6,000 RPM to an exhilarating 360 HP. The car also features the extremely rare 24-gallon fuel tank, necessitating the auxiliary hardtop in place of the standard soft top because of the tanks intrusion into the storage area. When fellow racer Gene Layne purchased the Corvette from Mazzola in 1976, he commenced a careful restoration, emulating the original paint scheme of Roman Red with black scallops in quality Ditzler paint after stripping the car down to the original fiberglass. Presented exactly as Mazzola raced it, this prominent SoCal Big Brake Fuelie Tanker was featured on the cover of Vette Magazine.
