This 1962 Corvette is powered by an upgraded 327/300 hp engine and it's original 4-speed manual transmission and distributor. It has a hardtop only. The stock interior is in very nice shape and features an upgraded stereo, good weatherstripping and rebuilt, as was the front end. The brakes and wheel bearings were also done. Riding on 17" Rally wheels with a nice off set of new tires, the body is straight and dent-free with no major blemishes with nice chrome and stainless. A pleasure to drive: the brakes, suspension, engine and transmission are all very good.The 1962 model year was the last Corvette with a solid-rear-axle suspension that was used from the beginning. With two new engines it was also the quickest. Engine displacement increased with the introduction of the 327 cu in (5.360 cc) engine, but dual 4-barrel carburetor engines were no longer available. Hydraulic valve lifters were used in the base 250?hp and optional 300?hp (220?kW) engines, solid lifters in the optional carbureted 340?hp and fuel-injected 360?hp (270?kW) versions. Rocker panel trim was seen for the first time, exposed headlights for the last, until 2005.?This was the last Corvette model to offer an?optional?power convertible top mechanism. Rare options: RPO 488 24-gallon fuel tank (65), RPO 687 heavy-duty brakes and steering (246), RPO 473 power convertible top (350), RPO 276 15"?5.5" wheels (561).
