1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 2 - Tops 327 340Hp #'s Matching 4-spd

There's something truly captivating about a classic American sports car, and the 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Convertible is no exception. This particular example, one of only 4,412 built with the high-powered 327 cubic inch, 340 horsepower V8 engine, epitomizes the spirit of the open road and the thrill of true performance driving. It's a car that encapsulates an era, and with its #'s matching engine and original 4-speed manual transmission, this Corvette is a genuine piece of automotive history ready to offer its next owner an unforgettable driving experience.

From the moment you lay eyes on its factory-correct Ermine White exterior, it's clear that this 1962 Corvette is something special. The car's sleek lines and unmistakable curves are enhanced by a pristine white hardtop that shows great condition and complements its stylish demeanor. For those sun-soaked cruising days, a white soft top is included, still functional though showing some wear from its many years on the road – a testament to the car's active history as a cherished driver. But what truly sets this Corvette apart is the striking red interior, a perfect contrast to its exterior, providing a bold and luxurious cabin for driver and passenger alike. Every detail of this interior exudes the 1960s charm, from the sculpted seats to the classic dash layout.

Equipped with four brand-new radial wide white-wall tires, this Corvette is ready to hit the road with style and confidence. The addition of a Harrison aluminum radiator keeps the powerful V8 engine running cool, even on the hottest days. Under the hood, the original, #'s matching 327ci V8 engine roars to life, producing a remarkable 340 horsepower – a figure that, even by today's standards, delivers exhilarating performance. It's paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, giving the driver total control and a tactile connection to the road that modern cars often fail to match. This combination is what makes this Corvette not just a collector's item, but a joy to drive.

An older restoration, believed to have been completed in the 1990s, has preserved much of this car's original character while adding just the right amount of patina to evoke its storied past. This was the last year of the solid axle generation, which makes it a rare find for enthusiasts who appreciate the Corvette's pure, unadulterated driving dynamics. The rear trunk compartment, a feature phased out in later models, adds a touch of practicality to this otherwise sporty design. And, of course, the iconic quad headlights are a signature touch that reminds us of the Corvette's unique place in automotive history.

While the Wonderbar radio is currently non-operational, this Corvette is a car that sings its own tune. It is a great driver, combining vintage charm with road-ready reliability. It's a vehicle that's meant to be driven and enjoyed, a true testament to the golden age of American motoring. For those who appreciate the art of driving and the thrill of owning a classic, this #'s matching 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Convertible is not just a car; it's a lifestyle, a statement, and an opportunity to relive the past while enjoying the present.

If you're searching for a vehicle that embodies power, history, and the unmatched feeling of driving a true American sports car, this Corvette awaits. With its 340hp engine ready to roar, it's poised to offer a driving experience that's as thrilling today as it was when it first rolled off the assembly line. Take the wheel, feel the road, and make this piece of motoring legend your own.
