About this car

This 1962 Corvette is one of the last of the solid-axle C1 generation, built shortly before the Sting Ray replaced it. It carries the later, more sculpted rear styling of the final cars and is powered by the 327 cubic inch V8 paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. It is left-hand drive.

The car is finished in Roman Red over a black interior with fawn carpets. It comes with its original hard top, plus a new cream soft top, correct wheel covers and new white-band radial tyres. The hard-top stand and a 1962 Corvette handbook are included.

The page describes a cosmetic restoration, and the car has recently had a full service and tune in the dealer's workshop. It shows 19,000 miles.
