This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette was refurbished under previous ownership and is finished in Tuxedo Black over a matching vinyl interior. Power is provided by a 327ci V8 mated to a replacement Muncie four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a Wonderbar push-button AM radio, electronic ignition, a Hurst shifter, and whitewall tires. Work since the seller’s 2018 purchase reportedly included replacing the soft top and installing LED headlamps, while more recent service included replacing the shocks and spring shackles as well as changing the engine oil.
The fiberglass body was repainted Tuxedo Black, reportedly during a 2008 refurbishment. Exterior features include chrome bumpers and rocker panel trim, a driver-side mirror, and LED headlamps. A ceramic paint coating is said to have been applied in May 2021.
Black 15″ steel wheels wear spinner-style covers and were mounted with 215/75 Cooper Trendsetter SE whitewall tires in 2021. A full-size spare is mounted inside the trunk. Maintenance in 2021 included replacing the front and rear shocks as well as the spring shackles. The car is equipped with a white convertible top that was installed in 2019 along with its associated hardware. Braking is from front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include a Hurst shifter, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, an analog clock, and a disconnected Wonderbar push-button AM radio.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and four auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 400 miles.
The 327ci V8 is said to have been rebuilt during a 2008 refurbishment. Maintenance carried out under current ownership included rebuilding the carburetor and adding a spacer plate, along with fluid changes and the replacement of hoses, spark plugs, wires, filters, and valve seals.
