The Chevrolet Corvette first appeared in 1953 as a unique American entry into the sports
car market dominated by European makes. Although not a muscle car by definition, the Corvette
used muscle car powertrains and has represented American performance for almost fifty years.
In each year between 1960 and 1962, performance and styling enhancements made it more and
more appealing to a wide variety of buyers. 1961 was the first year for Corvette trademark
quad taillights. In 1962, engine displacement was increased to 327 cu. in. and top horsepower
was up to 360.
There were only subtle differences in the body for 1962. Most noteworthy was the lack of chrome
trim around the coves, which meant you could no longer order two-tone paint. Production jumped
to 14,500 for this last year of the introductory C1 Corvette.
Fitted to this car; a NUMBERS MATCHING 327 cubic inch 340 HP V-8 engine.
The transmission is a 4 Speed Manual. The exterior is Ermine White with a gorgeous
Red Vinyl interior, working Wonderbar Radio and white soft Top in great condition. Very
Solid example, stunning older restoration. Not only is this Classic Muscle Car extremely
appealing, but it also runs and drives very well. This car would be a great addition to any
collection. The last of the straight axle Corvettes and the first to offer a Chevy 327
cid small block V8.
