The 4 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears and the temperature always remains cool!


This is a rare opportunity to own a great daily driving and never abused example of a frame-off restored 1962 Corvette and one highly desirable and collectible unabused example of one of the best styling efforts of the decade, a genuine grand touring car in every sense of the word, this last year of the C1 generation Corvette design (1953-62) and the first year that the displacement was increased from 283 ci to 327 ci. and the last year of the conventional trunks, exposed headlights and solid rear axles, a generation that seemingly increases in value and desirability each year!

This particular fully frame off restored model was appraised in 8/ 2017 for the owners of the trust that then owned the car at $97, 800 and is sure to prove a most worthy investment for any Corvette collector or classic American classic muscle car enthusiast!
