Car history:
For sale via e-bay: Since I started high school in the 60's, this was always my dream car. I liked the 63 stingrays and all of the various stingrays since; but nothing is like a 1962 C1. I started seriously looking for it about 10 years ago. In August, 1999, after looking at dozens of red or black 62's with carburators, I found this fuelie. The people at ProTeam Corvettes in Napolean Ohio called me when it came in. I had never seen a Honduras Maroon Vette before and immediately liked the uniqueness of it. They showed me that all the numbers matched including the day/date marks on the windows. The car had obviously been restored years earlier, but the previous owner must have just done nothing with it after the restoration. The odometer read 8,974 miles. I figured someone reset it after the restoration. It now reads 11,360 miles. In five years we put 2386 miles on it just going to cruise-ins and car shows. My wife and I have put a lot of time, energy and money in it. You could almost eat off of the engine. The Rochester fuel injection had to be rebuilt when we got it and a new air cleaner assembly was needed (a steal at $900). It was all pretty expensive. Our goal was to bring it back to as close to original as possible. New exhaust system, new bias ply tires, the chrome has no pitting, the engine with 360 horsepower runs as strong as any 327 you will ever find, if not stronger! When we brought it home, we immediately took off the hardtop (I like a convertabile) and found that the clothtop still had the white tag on it. It had never been used. Since then, we've been caught in a few showers and the tag finally disintigrated. I just put the hardtop back on today 9/26/04 for the first time to get a picture of it. The good news is the body is almost perfect; never any patching, bondo, etc. Under the car is almost perfect. The engine is almost perfect. The interior is almost perfect Ok, not all is perfect; I can't find a good windsheild washer bottle, so it has none. I like FM radio so it doesn't have the original AM radio with the wonderbar. The bottom chrome strip on the inside of the drivers' door got caught on my pants last month and 4 inches of it leans out an inch. Someone had the wrong mirrors on it at one time and screwed them into the windsheild posts. They have been replaced but the two tiny holes still exist. (you would not see it if it wasn't pointed out) The paint job has a little bit more metalic in it than the original but the color is right. And yes, there are a few tiny chips. They only made 14,531 Vettes in 1962 and only 1,918 were fuelies. Most mechanics back then would rather have worked on carburators and threw these beautiful mechanical Rochesters away. (Now to replace one, without the air filter is in the $6,500 to $8,000 range). Standard gears with posi-traction and weighing in at 3,065 lbs.with 360 horsepower, not a lot of cars will touch this at a red light. We are downsizing (empty-nesters) and do not want to warehouse this car. It has spent every winter in a heated garage. Vehicle Condition This car runs like a 10 out 10 and looks like a 9 out of 10!
