1962 Chevrolet Corvette

The iconic first Corvette started in 1953 as a direct result of the European market coming to the US with smaller two-seat sports cars after WWII vs. the typical large American Automobile. The Corvette began as a project in 1951 and was spearheaded by GM's head of styling Harley Earl. They nicknamed the secretive effort “Project Opel” with the result being a hand-built fiberglass sports car which would be first shown to the public at New Yorks Motorama in January 1953. When production began six months later, the car would be sold new for $3,513. This particular stunning example is finished in a pretty rare and gorgeous color combination of Fawn Beige over Saddle interior. This car was a frame off-restoration project that was finished in late 2022 and has roughly had about 500 miles put on the car since. The 80,000 miles on the clock are believed to be original miles for the car itself. This is a number matching example from what we can tell and has been told to us. The color is correct as is the interior. It's a pretty low optioned car with the exception of power windows. The paint and chrome are stunning as is the interior and every other aspect of the cosmetics. The 327 starts right up and idles perfectly immediately. There is nothing leaking or smoking, has no funny smells and goes down the road like a dream. These C-1 Vettes have proven to solid the collector car world when it comes to not only value but increasing in value. This car is ready to go. We welcome any questions and any inspections at any time.
