Vehicle description
When it comes to collecting Corvettes, generally speaking, the final year of a generation is often less risky than the first. Most of the kinks and bugs have been worked out, and the final year allows owners the benefit of engineers learning from previous years and enjoying their chosen ride to the fullest. This Roman Red 1962 Chevrolet Corvette represents the final year of the lusted-after first generation of GM's halo car. With its white, manually operated soft top up or down, this car demands attention in its red-on-red configuration. Inside, we find the matching red interior to be correct, stock, and possibly original. Its three-spoke steering wheel sits in front of the venerable six-pod gauge setup, allowing the driver to keep apprised of all the essential data without taking their eyes off the road. Simple HVAC knobs and pulls sit midway up the center stack, while a classically-cool analog clock should run backwards because riding in this car feels like going back in time. Under the signature front-hinged Corvette hood, we find a 350 cubic-inch overhead valve V-8 engine. The stock heads are covered with traditional Chevrolet valve covers, while a single four-barrel Holley carburetor feeds into an Offenhauser intake manifold before ultimately exiting through a FlowMaster dual exhaust, giving this Bowtie beauty an authentic sound. A numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission keeps things fun and interesting on both short and long drives.
