1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible – The Final Chapter of a First-Generation Legend
This 1962 Corvette Convertible marks the final and most refined year of the iconic first-generation (C1) Corvette—a milestone in American automotive history. As the last to feature the classic straight-axle design and first to fully embrace the powerful new 327 V8, the ’62 blends vintage charm with raw performance. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this year is considered the crown jewel of early Corvettes—rare, desirable, and climbing in value every year.
Meticulously restored to exacting standards, this example is a true investment-grade classic that is show-ready, road-capable, and correct to NCRS standards throughout. It’s powered by a high-output 327 CI V8 delivering 340 horsepower, backed by a crisp-shifting 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.08:1 Posi-traction rear end—the perfect balance of acceleration and highway cruising.
The attention to detail continues with a full set of five new NEXEN P205/75R15 wide whitewall radial tires, installed in 2024 with fewer than 100 miles of use. The spinner hubcaps, new rugs and mats, and a new modern tan cloth convertible top. Its deep, mirror-finish clear coat paint is flawless—highlighting every elegant curve and making it equally at home on the concours lawn or cruising through town.
Mechanically: everything works exactly as it should—a testament to the quality of the restoration. It is a legitimate award contender at any NCRS or national-level show, with all components correctly restored and finely tuned.
Unlike modern investments that live behind logins and graphs, this Corvette gives you something tangible—something you can drive, hear, and feel. It’s a rolling piece of American art, built at the peak of Corvette’s early glory, and preserved with no compromises.
Whether you're looking to expand a serious collection or make a single, unforgettable addition to your garage, this 1962 Corvette Convertible offers the best of both worlds: historic pedigree and present-day perfection. And unlike a stock, this is an appreciating asset you’ll never forget driving.
Own the end of the beginning. Drive the final chapter of Corvette’s first era—with pride.
