Dealer Comments
1962 Chevrolet Corvette Custom
1962 marks the final year of C1 Corvette production, which started in 1953 and set the model on the path to becoming America’s sports car. The C1 established the Corvette nameplate with its fiberglass body construction, two-seat layout, and exciting driving characteristics at a reasonable price, forming the foundation for all Corvette generations that followed. This 1962 example benefits from a long list of upgrades, which transform it into a car that combines classic good looks and modern performance.
The exterior is finished in Adrenaline Red 2-Stage paint and fitted with an Al Knoch Stayfast black canvas top. For the final years of C1 production, the classic design which had debuted in 1956 was updated with color-matched side coves, and a rear end that hinted at what was to come with the C2. This example sits on a new set of Schott billet wheels with modern tires which are inspired by wheels that could have been fitted to a Corvette in period, but with larger sizing to make room for the disc brakes.
On the inside, the car has been entirely reupholstered in black, using the highest-quality leather and new tight-weave carpets throughout. A new center console was installed, along with a new dashboard, filled with Dakota Digital gauges, and a Vintage Air climate control system to keep you cool during the hottest summer days. All of this work has recently been completed and the interior quality absolutely matches that of the rest of the vehicle.
Power for this Corvette is provided by a 6.2-liter GM Performance LS3 V8, paired with a 4L65E automatic transmission. Fuel injection and modern engine management add both reliability and performance, and servicing is remarkably simple too. Additional mechanical updates include a custom upgraded suspension, power rack-and-pinion steering, Wilwood power disc brakes, and a Positraction rear end. The original wiring harness was replaced by a new unit from American Autowire. All of these upgrades make the car more dependable, faster and just an all-around more fun car to toss around on your favorite backroad.
The C1 Corvette remains an icon in the car world even more than 70 years after its debut. This takes the most refined variant of the C1, and turns it into an exciting, almost modern feeling sports car. With its fuel injected engine, air conditioning and 4L65E automatic transmission, this is a car that could be driven every day when the weather is nice, and get attention from people everywhere. Don’t spend the time tracking down a C1 to modify it yourself, this car is finished and has been tested to ensure it is ready to go!
