1962 Corvette: 4 Speed in beautiful condition! for sale

 

1962 Corvette: 4 Speed in beautiful condition! This 1962 Black over Red four speed was restored in 1987 and has covered less than 6k miles since that restoration. The car is an extremely nice driver and brings complements everywhere it is seen. The Corvette is mechanically excellent: everything works even the Wonderbar radio, heater fan and the mechanical clock. The hardtop (black) also is with the car. You will look hard to find as nice a 1962! This beautiful Corvette has most of its original components but is a non-matching numbers car as it is fitted with a 350. It appears to have the original 327 intake and exhaust manifolds and purportedly its correct and original differential and transmission. The transmission has been fully rebuilt within the last 18 months and it shifts perfectly. Carburetion is an Edelbrock 600, battery is Interstate, the distributor is fitted with a PerTronix Igniter and tires are the Firestone vintage replica in radials. Restoration was comprehensive but not a body off. Body seams are excellent and it does not appear the front was clipped. Paint quality is very nice if not excellent with only minor flaws see paragraph below. The car runs and drives smoothly: no squeaks, rattles, and the engine is smooth, clutch take-up positive, brakes as good as they can be for 1962. The steering box was also rebuilt recently. The soft top is almost band new. Interior is superb, carpets and rubber mats both very nice as are seats and door panels. Updated GM seat belts are installed. The present owner is tall and has had the seats bottom cushions internal springs professionally lowered just a bit. You can not tell this by looking, but your head will not hit the top if your six feet tall. Last the car is registered here in California on a year of manufacturer Black and Yellow plate with proper documentation and DMV sticker for that personalized plate: a nice touch! This Corvette is quite superb having only very small blemishes. Some noted are: slight pitting on window frame chrome, and door handles the rest of the chrome is excellent. Rubber windshield gasket replaced but on passenger side inside some slight waves. A few hard water spots on upper left fender: it may be possible to polish theses out. Slight wear mark from the folding top rubbing on its frame (see photo) otherwise the top is beautiful, very nicely installed and correct. Slight stress cracks in the common spots: near mirrors on the doors and rear wheel arches. No owner’s manual, incorrect tools. Receipts are from 2007 and include transmission and steering rack rebuilds, but we do not have the 1987 restoration receipts. The car has had only 6k miles since restoration, and the speedometer has a tag showing it had when refurbished 87k miles, but other than this we do not have documentation to substantiate that reading. The underside of the car has not been detailed since restoration but still quite tidy. Please call if you have any questions about this lovely Corvette. This is a private party car consigned to Driveline for sale. VIN: 20867S107446 Price: $45950.
