Many over the years have described their first run in a Corvette as much more than just a drive; for some it is an emotional experience. Pick your favorite section of road, fasten your seatbelt and apply your right foot to the “loud button” and in about a quarter-mile you will leave all of your worries, along with any other cars of the era, far behind. Those in charge of Corvette development were committed to making the car adept on every thoroughfare in America; the road is the Corvette’s eminent domain. In 1962 the Corvette was the ultimate combination of performance, handling and sports car-style luxury that had been carefully honed since its inception.

This final year C1 Corvette is reported to have new paint with a primarily original interior. The car runs with a 327-cid, 300-hp V-8 that is paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The features include seatbelts, AM radio, spinner-type factory hubcaps and the soft-top under the rear deck.
