Why This Car Is Special

The 1962 model year ended up being the last model of that era before the much talked about second-generation Corvette was to debut in 1963. In the last ten years, with brilliant engineers and designers like Edward Cole, Zora Arkus-Duntov and Bill Mitchell, the 1962 C1 Corvette had become an American Sports Car Classic.

The 1962 Chevrolet Corvette we have here at Skyway Classics is a frame off restored, Roman Red, with the small block GM 350 cubic inchTargetmaster Crate Chevrolet engine, is a perfect example of the Top-Of-The-Line Corvette for that year.

Exterior

In 1962, the Corvette underwent more than just a mechanical overhaul as its styling was similar to previous years but the chrome outlines around the body side coves were dropped and the coves on ours are painted to match the rest of the Corvette. This Corvette has Roman Red paint that was completed that is shiny with great body fitment over its sweet lines, chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome windshield trim, cross-flag emblems, and chrome side mirror.

The black manual soft-top and nothing looks classier than a red Corvette with a black convertible top.

Conclusion

The 1962 Corvette was the fastest and best handling Corvette made to date back then and to some it was the pinnacle of Corvettes in that era and beyond.
