Vehicle Description
This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in black with a black leather interior and presents in excellent overall condition. It shows below 57,000 miles on the odometer, averaging under 1,000 miles per year, and retains the visual and mechanical characteristics associated with the 1962 model year. This car is numbers matching, part numbers and dates of the entire drive train match.
Factory features and equipment (typical for a 1962 Corvette)
- Body and structure: Fiberglass body panels mounted to a steel ladder-type frame, producing the lightweight, low-slung profile that defined early Corvettes. Exterior details include the era’s chrome trim and bumpers, sculpted fenders, and classic Corvette taillight styling.
- Powertrain options: 1962 introduced the 327 cubic-inch Chevrolet small-block V8 for the Corvette. Factory power outputs ranged across several tunes to suit different performance preferences, with the top factory option being a mechanically fuel-injected high-output 327. Factory transmissions available included a three-speed manual as the common standard, an available four-speed manual for more spirited use, and the two-speed Powerglide automatic as an option.
- Exhaust and induction: Dual-exhaust system configured at the factory. Higher-output engine packages were offered with upgraded carburetion or Rochester mechanical fuel injection on top-end engines.
- Suspension and steering: Tuned for sports-car handling, the chassis geometry and suspension components were engineered for responsive steering and road manners appropriate to the era. Power steering and power brakes were available options from the factory.
- Wheels and tires: Original factory fitment typically comprised steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and period-correct tires; whitewall tires were commonly specified at the factory for showroom presentation.
- Brakes: Factory braking equipment was consistent with contemporary Corvette specification; power brake assistance was an available factory option.
- Interior and comfort: Two individual bucket seats finished in vinyl or leatherette in the selected interior color (black in this example). A center console and floor shifter were common on models equipped with manual transmissions. Heater and defroster were factory-installed for basic climate control. Seat belts were available and often fitted.
- Instrumentation and controls: Full driver-focused instrument cluster including a prominent speedometer and tachometer, plus gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature and charging system. Controls and switches are finished with chrome trim details in keeping with period appearance.
- Audio and accessories: AM radio was the standard/included audio option from the factory, with upgraded radios and antenna options available. Other convenience items such as windshield washers, sun visors and mirrors were factory equipment.
- Exterior appointments: Chrome trim, brightwork and molding were part of the standard exterior appointments. Hood and trunk hardware, vents and louver details reflect the original factory styling.
Vehicle condition and mileage
- Mileage: Below 57,000 miles total, averaging under 1,000 miles per year, indicating careful, limited use.
- Overall condition: The car is described as being in excellent overall condition, with the exterior black finish and black interior maintained to a high standard.
This description emphasizes the factory-level features and options typically associated with the 1962 Corvette while noting the vehicle’s present color, mileage, and overall condition. Specific option codes, powertrain identification, and factory documentation can be reviewed to confirm exact original equipment for this particular example.
