Description:
This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a beautifully presented late C1 model, finished in classic Ermine White over a red interior.
Under the hood lies a crate LT1 350 cubic inch V8, providing plenty of power, paired with a smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission. Recent mechanical updates include an engine reseal with new valve cover gaskets, main seals, and an oil pan gasket. Additionally, the fuel and ignition systems have been refreshed with a rebuilt carburetor, new fuel pump and lines, and a complete tune-up, ensuring reliable performance.
The car’s handling feels tight, thanks to a full suspension overhaul, including new springs, shocks, bushings, and a rebuilt steering gear. The brakes are also new, making this Corvette a confident and enjoyable driver. The fiberglass body is in excellent condition, though the paint, showing some patina, may be original.
Inside, the tidy red interior features a set of five gauges beneath a 160-mph speedometer, along with a Wonder Bar radio, heater controls, and a clock. Manual windows, door locks, and the convertible top are all in working order, although the top shows some wear. This Corvette is ready for both spirited drives and casual outings, offering a great mix of classic style and modern reliability.
