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 has the original 327 cubic inch 340 horse numbers matching engine (verified by the engine stamp pad numbers and casting number on the block), rust color, White Convertible Top, black bucket seat interior with the factory Tach and the Wonder Bar Radio.

This Corvette has Roman Red paint 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.

It has a white manual soft-top and nothing looks classier than a red Corvette with a white convertible top and white sidewall tires.
