A multiple-award-winning restoration, matching-numbers fuel-injected engine, low mileage and a rare combination of options give this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette tremendous appeal to the discerning collector. Advertising for the 1962 Corvette emphasized its appeal to the Walter Mitty in all of us, heralding its uncanny ability to erase the days woes and whisk its driver far, far away. Turn on the key, engage first gear and step on it: Good-bye office, hello better things in life. And in 1962, Corvettes ability to transport its occupants into new realms of performance and ecstasy was further enhanced by the most-potent array of powertrain offerings in the cars then 10-year history, all centered around the new 327 CI version of Chevrolets outstanding small-block V-8 engine. Combining the best performance to date with style and sophistication, this 1962 Corvette retains its matching-numbers RPO 582 Rochester fuel-injected 327/360 HP V-8, the most significant improvement to the 1962 models. Another feature important to collectors is this examples power-operated white soft top, one of only 350 produced in 1962 and the last available until the C6 was introduced in 2005; the original color-matching auxiliary hardtop is also included. Attractively finished in classic Ermine White with a black interior, its list of features includes a 4-speed manual transmission, whitewall tires, standard full-spinner wheel covers, a Wonderbar radio, an in-dash clock and a heater/defroster, offered for the first time as standard equipment. This is a truly accomplished multiple-award winner whose accolades include: Bloomington Gold certification; an NCRS Top Flight Award; an NCRS Performance Verification Award; a NCRS Duntov Mark of Excellence award with a remarkable score of 99.3 out of 100 points; a Chevy VetteFest Gold Spinner Award; and AACA Junior, Senior, Senior National and Senior Grand National awards. At 11,225 documented original miles, this expertly restored 1962 Corvette hits all the right notes as a premium collectible American classic. |
