Vehicle Description
1962 Chevrolet Corvette - Sharp Roman Red C1!
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette, a stunning final-year example of the first-generation Corvette. When it comes to classic 'Vettes, the last of a generation often holds a special place, benefiting from years of refinement and engineering improvements.
This car was professionally finished in Roman Red, according to included receipts, and it now commands attention with its striking red-on-red color combination. The white manually operated convertible top remains in great condition, providing a beautiful contrast to the vibrant exterior.
Inside, the matching red interior maintains a correct, stock appearance that feels both authentic and inviting. The three-spoke steering wheel sits in front of the traditional six-pod gauge cluster, keeping all vital information right in the driver's view. A vintage-style AM/FM radio and an aftermarket armrest with an integrated cup holder add a touch of convenience for modern driving while maintaining the car's period character.
Under the signature front-hinged hood rests a period-correct 327 cubic-inch V8, the only year it was offered in the C1. The engine breathes through an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and matching intake manifold, exhaling through dual exhaust fitted with factory replacement mufflers to create that unmistakable Corvette soundtrack. Power is sent through a four-speed manual transmission with rebuilt shifter linkage, ensuring smooth and precise shifts.
While this Corvette retains much of its original charm, it benefits from several thoughtful upgrades designed to enhance reliability and drivability. The car features front disc brakes paired with an upgraded dual-reservoir master cylinder, a new wiring harness, and a new water pump. Included with the sale are extensive maintenance records and the original owner's manual, a testament to the care this car has received throughout its life.
As the final iteration of the first-generation Corvette, this 1962 model embodies the ideal of classic American design and performance. With its vivid Roman Red finish, period-correct 327 V8, and tasteful modern enhancements, this car represents an ideal opportunity for anyone looking to enjoy a well-sorted and beautifully maintained C1.
