This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is finished in red over red vinyl and powered by a numbers-matching 327ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a white convertible top, 15″ wheels with whitewall tires, four-wheel drum brakes, chrome bumpers, a dual-exit exhaust, rubber floor mats, and a Wonderbar AM radio. The car was partially repainted after being purchased by the seller in 2014, and work completed since 2020 has consisted of replacing the brake linings, drums, and front brake lines.
A partial body repaint in red included repainting the hood and headlight surrounds along with portions of the front fenders and passenger rear fender. Chrome trim adorns the split-bumpers, windshield trim, license plate surround, driver-side mirror, door handles, and front grille. Additional features include a white soft top, quad headlights, faux fender vents, and a dual-exit exhaust.
Steel 15″ wheels wear spinner-style covers and bias-ply whitewall tires. The car is equipped with drum brakes on all four corners, and work reportedly completed in 2020 includes replacing the brake linings, drums, and front brake lines.
The cabin is trimmed in red vinyl upholstery with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes manually-operated windows, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, an analog clock, rubber floor mats, and a Wonderbar AM radio.
The red-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, 7k-rpm tachometer, and four auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 12k miles, approximately 3k of which have been added by the owner. Total mileage is unknown.
The numbers-matching 327ci Turbo-Fire V8 was factory rated at 340 horsepower. The oil and filter have been changed in preparation for the sale.
The engine block stamping lists number 109479, which matches the last six digits shown on the body VIN tag.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
