Although the first series cars introduced the Corvette to America, it was the second series, launched in 1956, which earned Corvette the title “America’s Sports Car”. The clean good looks of Harley Earl’s new body struck a chord with the American public, and the new design was soon outselling the older style by a margin of three to one.

The 1961 model year brought Corvette a new look that carried over into 1962, the year of the car offered here. The teeth were eliminated from the grille, and most prominently a newly-contoured tail section gave rise to the nickname “duck tail.” A precursor to the radical Sting Ray of 1963, it gave the public a preview of things to come.

This superb 1962 Corvette underwent a complete documented restoration in 2001 (restoration pictures included with car), and still looks stunning today. Only having traveled 471 miles since the restoration, has kept this Corvette in like-new condition, and it is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. The Sateen Silver paint over Red interior is a timeless combination, and on this vehicle, it is perfectly executed. This ‘Vette features a numbers matching 340 horsepower 327 V-8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission. No details were overlooked during the restoration of this stunning Corvette, and it is sure to impress even the harshest critics.
