Used 1962 Chevrolet Corvette

 1962 Chevrolet Corvette - Numbers-Matching 327/340 HP - Auxiliary Hardtop - Long Ownership History Offered for sale is a remarkably well-preserved 1962 Chevrolet Corvette, coming from a 91-year-old owner who purchased the car over nine years ago from the family who originally bought it new. In his care, the Corvette has been driven less than 1,000 miles, and today it presents as a wonderfully honest, largely unrestored example of the final-year C1. The odometer shows 75,748 miles, believed to be original to the best of the seller's knowledge. He also reports no known major mechanical defects or needed repairs, and the car is ready to be enjoyed immediately at weekend shows, cruises, and club events. Condition & Presentation This Corvette displays impressively for a 63-year-old car. Much of the paint appears to be original lacquer, exhibiting the typical aging characteristics seen on early fiberglass-such as stress marks and finish checking-consistent with a long-preserved, unrestored Corvette. A few period-style touches were added over the decades, including: Dual third tail lights (one added on each side of the rear panel) Side-mounted undercarriage exhaust Smaller-diameter steering wheel (the original wheel is included with the sale) Factory Options & Powertrain This '62 retains its numbers-matching 327 cubic inch / 340 horsepower engine-one of the most desirable powerplants of the era-paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Additional factory options include: Auxiliary hardtop, plus the original black soft top Wonder Bar signal-seeking radio (search function requires repair) Optional 15.5-inch wheels Whitewall tires One of the more intriguing features is the Gold-Anodized Grille, believed to be part of a small run (commonly cited as approximately 50 cars) produced to commemorate Chevrolet's 50th Anniversary. While an interesting story and visually distinctive feature, no factory documentation is available to confirm this grille's origin. Summary This 1962 Corvette combines a compelling ownership history, desirable factory options, numbers-matching performance, and a charmingly original presentation. Whether as a weekend cruiser, a preservation-class show entry, or a smart long-term investment, it is a car you will be proud to own, display, and share. VIN: 20867S113563 $75,000
