Thanks for taking a look at this striking Roman Red 1962 Corvette Convertible. This is the last year of the C1 — the only Corvette generation with a solid rear axle and exposed headlights — and this one is a genuine head-turner that drives as good as it looks. The car was treated to a frame-off restoration approximately 8–10 years ago by a builder with a solid reputation. The quality of that work has been reviewed and confirmed by a local NCRS judge and Corvette restoration specialist who describes it as a decent, honest build. The 327 small block carries the correct GM casting number (3782870) and was rebuilt with a performance cam. It pulls strong and runs well. The 4-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly. The 3.90 rear end gives this car a spirited, engaging driving character that C1 owners love. The body presents beautifully. Paint is deep and glossy with only two minor clear coat bubbles at the tips of the front fender spears — easily addressed. Chrome and stainless throughout rate an honest 98%. The black soft top is in excellent condition with a great fit. The black interior matches the top perfectly and rates equally high — door panels, carpet, and dash are all very clean. Practical upgrades include front power disc brakes, electric-assist power steering, and an auxiliary electric cooling fan — all sensible improvements that make this car more enjoyable to drive without compromising its appearance. Miles show 83K, likely original, but there is no docuemntation. All gauges work with the exception of the clock and Wonderbar radio. Both items are present and correct. This is a strong driver-quality 1962 that will get attention at any show or cruise night. The red-on-black combination is one of the most desirable color pairings on a C1, and this car delivers that classic look with the reliability improvements that make it a car you'll actually want to drive. It now enjoyed and offered for sale by long time Corvette enthusiast in the state of MARYLAND and can be delivered nationwide and all over the world. Financing options are available, Corvette trades can be addressed.

$109,995 Wire Transfer or Cash. For those with serious interest in 1957 SCCA #73, obtaining a copy of my book, CORVETTE RACE CAR, is essential. It is eBay listing #336280980739. Not only will it answer 99 percent of your questions, it is also the ONLY comprehensive treatment of Corvette Big Brake and factory racing equipment and is a must on that count alone. The restoration of #73 to as-raced condition served as the basis for showing not just the Big Brake equipment, but also its placement on a real Corvette. During the restoration, I regularly consulted with both drivers, who are alive and well, to ensure that #73 is as close to how it really was as possible. #73 was built by owner, Larry Leedy, and best friend, Bob Spicer, in 1964. Both Larry and Bob were members of the California Sports Car Club or “Cal Club,” division of the SCCA. Larry and Bob were aeronautical engineers that worked on the Saturn V program. Everything having to do with racing that was available at the time went on the car and the result was a winning Corvette, whose best race was at the August 1966 Riverside Enduro, where Bob Spicer and fellow Cal Club member, Fred Yeakel, piloted #73 to a First in Class and Second Overall finish. They even beat Doug Hooper in his #119 Big Block Stingray. Doug is recognized as one of the early Corvette racing greats who drove the first 1963 Z06 and is in the National Corvette Museum Hall of Fame. The First Overall was a Shelby Team Mustang. Bob believes they could have beat the Mustang had he not been mistakenly called back to the pits for “not having his racing harness properly buckled,” although it was. During the race, Carroll Shelby told Larry, “I didn’t know that pig could run that fast!” Here are some features of #73 and items that Bob and Larry put on their race car that I have put back on or duplicated: • Original non-radio and non-heater • Big Brake or “Sebring” package, including finned drums, vented backing plates and front and rear air scoops, brake fans, heavy-duty coil springs, five-leaf rear springs, fast steering adapter, and the very rare second front sway bar • 1960-62 chassis upgrades including traction bars, rear sway bar, larger diameter front sway bar and the VERY RARE SECOND FRONT SWAY BAR • 4.10 posi differential • Vintage Koni racing shocks • 37-gallon center fill gas tank with top seat backs cut off for clearance • 1962 radiator and overflow tank • Dual-belt pulley system with idler pulley and seven-blade fan • 1960-61 290/315 HP Fuel Injection unit with driver-side air duct • Six-quart 327 trap-door oil pan • Stewart-Warner electric fuel pump • 2.5-inch exhaust pipes • Steering column shortened by four inches for driver comfort • Full complement of Stewart-Warner gauges, including oil pressure and oil temp gauges taking the place of the unneeded speedometer • Period PACKARD 440 USA plug wires • 1962 268 35-amp generator and 1958 002 35-amp voltage regulator • American Torq Thrust racing wheels and Goodyear Blue Streak racing tires • Weight-saving modifications, such as Plexiglas windscreen replacing the windshield, windows removed from doors, cut-off door posts, and removal of all body trim removed except front bumperettes, grill surround and four teeth (the minimum required) #73 achieved the NCRS "427" award in Concourse Modified Division at the 2022 Greenville, SC Regional and at the 2024 Hampton, Virginia National, with scores over 99 percent both times. This car would be super for a collector as the centerpiece of a collection, but is equally well suited for someone who will use it for vintage racing as it was intended and for which many historic race cars are actually being used. Fred Yeakel’s 1957 was sold in 2007, and the new owner is still racing it! This stallion has been corralled for over half a century. Is there anyone willing to open the gate and let this stallion do what a stallion was born to do? “If you run it up to 150 mph with a rev of just under 10,000, you will warm the engine!!!!” – Bob Spicer

LOCATED IN MICHIGAN In 1955, Chevrolet built just 700 Corvettes. Of those, this is number 394 — a Gypsy Red roadster that survived not just the decades, but the attrition that claims so many of its siblings. Today it stands as one of the finest examples of what is the most historically significant Corvettes ever produced. The Car: This Gypsy Red example earned the NCRS Top Flight Award. That distinction doesn't come easily, and it doesn't come cheaply. The car underwent a thorough frame-off restoration executed to judging standards. Yet what sets it apart from a typical show-quality restoration is what was retained: original body panels, glass, bumpers, trim, fasteners, wheels, engine, transmission, differential, and frame. In a world of heavily modified or parts-substituted restorations, this level of documented originality is increasingly rare and increasingly valuable. For the Enthusiast. For the Collector. Whether you're looking for a car to show, a car to drive on special occasions, or the crown jewel of a serious C1 collection — this is it. Offered by a long-time Michigan enthusiast who has cared for it properly this iconic ’55 is now ready to be passed on to the next steward. Nationwide and international shipping available. Serious inquiries are welcomed. This is a significant Corvette and will be priced accordingly in discussion with qualified buyers. Contact Larry, Classics Specialist with The Vette Net .Call or text: 269-579-2058 (Michigan). Email: Larry@TheVetteNet.com The Vette Net — Connecting Corvette buyers and sellers worldwide since 1998.

LOCATED IN MICHIGAN There are 1958 Corvettes, and then there are exceptional 1958 Corvettes. This is the latter. The Credentials - This Corvette earned the NCRS Top Flight Award — the benchmark distinction in the Corvette hobby, reserved for restorations and preserved examples of the highest caliber. Achieving it requires more than a good restoration; it requires documented authenticity. This car delivered both. The frame-off restoration addressed the car comprehensively while retaining nearly all original components: body panels, glass, bumpers, trim, fasteners, wheels, engine, transmission, differential, and frame. The result is near-concours condition with the kind of originality that serious collectors demand and judges reward. The Car - Power comes from the numbers-correct 283 cubic inch V8 rated at 230hp, mated to an original 3-speed manual transmission — a pairing that delivers the honest, mechanical driving experience these early Corvettes were built around. The ride and handling remind you why the C1 earned its reputation. It is, as the owner will tell you, great fun to drive. Equipment includes both the auxiliary hardtop and soft top, an AM radio, and the correct two-tone exterior. This is a complete award-winning car presented by a knowledgeable Michigan enthusiast who has cared for it properly. Nationwide and international shipping available. Serious inquiries are welcomed. This is a significant Corvette and will be priced accordingly in discussion with qualified buyers. Contact Larry, Classics Specialist with The Vette Net. Call or text: 269-579-2058 (Michigan).
