1962 Chevrolet Corvette
Car History
The 1962 model year ended up being the last model of that era before the much talked about second-generation Corvette was to debut in 1963. In the last ten years, with brilliant engineers and designers like Edward Cole, Zora Arkus-Duntov and Bill Mitchell, the 1962 C1 Corvette had become an American Sports Car Classic.
The 1962 Chevrolet Corvette we have here at Adventure Classics is a perfect example of the Top-Of-The-Line Corvette for that year as it is a stunning combination of black on black with the Fuel Injection engine too!
Engine & Drivetrain
The big news for the 1962 Corvette was the introduction of the 327 cubic inch V-8 engine (one of the best engines ever made) in place of the smaller 283 cubic inch engine. The smaller 283 engine was bored and stroked to bring its cylinder dimensions to 4.00 x 3.25 inches and its displacement up to 327 cubic inches, which produced more horsepower and torque that was far better than anything seen prior with either a carburetor or fuel injection.
Our Corvette has the 327 cubic inch engine (replacement block) with 360 horse with the optional Fuel Injection sitting in a restored and very detailed engine compartment with all the factory components looking like you just drove this Corvette off the showroom floor! It is backed by a four-speed manual optional transmission.
You can hear the legendary Duntov solid-lifter camshaft cam that was used in the fuel-injected engine that year which allowed the 1962 Corvette, when equipped with a four speed, to run the quarter mile in 14 seconds and achieve speeds in excess of 100 mile per hour.
Interior
The black bucket seat interior is also just like a time capsule with all the correct trim, chrome, carpet, steering wheel, gauges, and dash looking great and in restored condition. The door panels, grab handle, rear view mirror, clock and radio are also in great shape.
Exterior
The 1962 Corvette underwent more than just a mechanical overhaul. Its styling was similar to previous years but the chrome outlines around the body side coves were dropped and the coves are painted black to match the rest of the Corvette. There is no more classic look in a Fuelie 1962 Corvette than a shiny black paint job with whitewall tires and shiny chrome hubcaps.
Conclusion
The 1962 Corvette was the fastest and best handling Corvette made to date and to some was the pinnacle of Corvettes in that era and beyond. You must come see our 1962 Chevrolet Corvette we have here at Adventure Classics.
It is your chance to buy a rare Corvette that you can drive and enjoy today.
