Thanks for taking a look at this striking Roman Red 1962 Corvette Convertible. This is the last year of the C1 — the only Corvette generation with a solid rear axle and exposed headlights — and this one is a genuine head-turner that drives as good as it looks.

The car was treated to a frame-off restoration approximately 8–10 years ago by a builder with a solid reputation. The quality of that work has been reviewed and confirmed by a local NCRS judge and Corvette restoration specialist who describes it as a decent, honest build.

The 327 small block carries the correct GM casting number (3782870) and was rebuilt with a performance cam. It pulls strong and runs well. The 4-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly. The 3.90 rear end gives this car a spirited, engaging driving character that C1 owners love.

The body presents beautifully. Paint is deep and glossy with only two minor clear coat bubbles at the tips of the front fender spears — easily addressed. Chrome and stainless throughout rate an honest 98%. The black soft top is in excellent condition with a great fit. The black interior matches the top perfectly and rates equally high — door panels, carpet, and dash are all very clean.

Practical upgrades include front power disc brakes, electric-assist power steering, and an auxiliary electric cooling fan — all sensible improvements that make this car more enjoyable to drive without compromising its appearance.

All gauges work with the exception of the clock and Wonderbar radio. Both items are present and correct.

This is a strong driver-quality 1962 that will get attention at any show or cruise night. The red-on-black combination is one of the most desirable color pairings on a C1, and this car delivers that classic look with the reliability improvements that make it a car you'll actually want to drive.

It now enjoyed and offered for sale by long time Corvette enthusiast in the state of MARYLAND and can be delivered nationwide and all over the world.  Financing options are available, Corvette trades can be addressed.
