1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Description

This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette convertible exemplifies the model that transformed the sports car concept from an unobtainable novelty vehicle to the coveted ride so many Americans have eagerly sought to pull into their garages. Its vintage aesthetics are museum-worthy, starting with the graceful lines of an exterior that wears period-correct white paint. When it comes time to hit the highway, this droptop classic's 5.7-liter V8 has been outfitted with a pair of aftermarket 4-barrel carburetors that sit atop an Edelbrock intake manifold, so you know you'll be in for fun times behind the wheel. And while uncooperative weather is so often the foe of classic convertibles, keeping them confined to the garage for far too much of the year, this 'Vette truly is a car for all seasons. It features a brand-new convertible top that seals nicely to keep the elements at bay during cooler months and its air conditioning is running in top form to keep you comfortable when the weather heats up. Climb inside and you'll be surrounded by an inspiring cockpit, at the center of which is a pair of bucket seats whose red vinyl surfaces are free from any tears or staining as they loom above new carpeting and floor mats. You'll find clear, functional gauges inside an instrument cluster that was truly revolutionary for its time - including a new gas tank sending unit that combines with a new gas gauge to provide accurate fuel readings when you're out on the road. A set of factory-style wheels that are wrapped with white wall tires adds the perfect finishing touch to this iconic convertible.
