LS1-Powered 1962 Chevrolet Corvette

This restored 1962 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a fuel-injected 5.7L LS1 V8 with Z06 heads backed by a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. Features include 4-wheel disc brakes, a Retro Sound Wonder Bar radio with Bluetooth, power brakes, a white convertible top, and a removable body-color hardtop. This rust-free Roman Red Corvette with a red vinyl interior is available now and comes with a clear Illinois title in the seller's name and uninstalled parts including the reportedly original 327ci V8, 4-speed manual transmission, exhaust, steering wheel, and Wonder Bar radio.

As part of a restoration completed in 2017, this Corvette was refinished in its reportedly original Roman Red. Features include chrome bumpers, quad headlights, a chrome driver-side mirror cap, rocker trim, a white convertible top, a removable body-color hardtop, and quad taillights. The seller notes a small patch in the convertible top.

A set of black steel wheels with full Corvette hub caps is wrapped in whitewall radial tires.

The bucket seats and matching door panels are upholstered in red vinyl. Features include red carpeting with matching floor mats, a floor-mounted manual shifter, manual windows, power steering and brakes, an aftermarket 13-inch steering wheel, a red fiberglass dashboard with a red vinyl top pad, and a Bluetooth-compatible Retro Sound Wonder Bar radio.

A 160-mph speedometer, 7K-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, battery voltage, and oil pressure are located ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 3,900 miles, but the true mileage is unknown. According to the seller, the odometer was reset when the new engine was installed during the restoration process.

Power is provided by a fuel-injected 5.7L LS1 V8 with Z06 heads backed by a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. The upgraded engine and transmission package was installed in approximately 2016 or 2017. Underhood features include power steering and brakes, retro-style fuel rail covers with the Corvette logo, a billet aluminum master cylinder cover, and dual electric fans. Recent service includes an oil change 300 miles ago and the replacement of the alternator, serpentine belt, and battery in June of this year.

This Corvette is factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear drive axle. Braking is provided by upgraded power 4-wheel disc brakes.

A body-color hardtop and uninstalled parts including the reportedly original 327ci V8, 4-speed manual transmission, exhaust, steering wheel, and Wonder Bar radio will be included with the sale.
