The 1962 Corvette marks the grand finale of the first-generation lineup, and for many enthusiasts, it’s the best of the breed. A true milestone in Corvette history, the ’62 bid farewell to the solid axle era while ushering in the legendary 327ci small-block V8—a powerhouse that would become a cornerstone of Chevrolet performance.
Visually, the ’62 stands apart from its predecessors, shedding the contrasting cove paint of the ’61 in favor of a sleek, monochromatic look. A ribbed rocker molding along the lower doors adds a touch of refinement, while the interior boasts a slightly more spacious cabin, enhancing comfort without compromising the Corvette’s signature sports car feel.
The stunning ’62 showcased here has undergone a meticulous frame-off restoration some years ago, yet it remains a head-turner. More than just a showpiece, this Corvette is an outstanding driver, ready to hit the road with confidence. Under the hood, the numbers-matching 327/300hp engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivers an exhilarating yet smooth driving experience—making it a classic you’ll want to take anywhere. |
