This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette was refurbished in 2015 with work that included refinishing the car in black over black vinyl upholstery, and it is powered by a replacement 327ci V8 topped with a Rochester mechanical fuel-injection system. Equipment includes a four-speed manual transmission, a removable hardtop, a black soft top, Torq Thrust-style 15″ wheels, power windows, and a cassette stereo. The seller purchased the car in 2018, and work under current ownership is said to have included rebuilding the differential and the fuel-injection unit. This C1 Corvette is now offered with the owner’s manual, service records, and a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.
The car was refinished in black with matching coves during the 2015 refurbishment work, and features a matching removable hardtop as well as a black soft top. Additional features include quad headlights and polished bumpers and trim.
The Torq Thrust-style 15″ wheels are mounted with 225/70 BFGoodrich white-letter tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drums.
The two bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl, and interior equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror, power windows, a heater, a cassette stereo, and an analog clock.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature, amperage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 28k miles, approximately 10k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 327ci V8 is topped with a Rochester mechanical fuel-injection unit that was overhauled in 2020 according to the seller. Details include Corvette-script finned valve covers and a chrome ignition cover. The Rochester fuel injection unit displays part number 7017360, which corresponds with a unit produced for use on a 1962 Corvette.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential, the latter of which was rebuilt in 2019.
