Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 26th year in the classic and muscle car business. It's hard to believe that the Chevrolet Corvette has been America's premier sports car for an astounding 72 years and 8 generations. All Corvettes have their devotees, but 1962 was a particularly pivotal year, with several ''firsts'' and ''lasts'' that would become milestones for future collectors. It was the last year for the iconic side coves, the solid rear axle, and the roadster-only 'Vettes. .....
1962 was also the first year for the legendary 327 V8, a standard heater, no two-tone side coves, and no multiple carburetor options. This stunning Roman Red 1962 Corvette is a beautiful and thrilling example from this special year. Lift the reverse tilt hood and you'll see the 300 hp 327 V8 (SC-RB, BCN-3782870) that's sporting an Edelbrock carburetor, an aluminum radiator, and an aluminum water pump. Additional features include 4-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, auxiliary hard top, full instrumentation, front and rear stabilizer bars, a newer audio system, and wide whitewall tires (205/75R15) wrapped around steel wheels with correct covers. This jewel boasts good paint, chrome, carpet, upholstery, and the chassis is simply outstanding. My favorite detail is the cast aluminum oil pan that mimics the iconic 7-fin cast aluminum valve covers. Cooler than the other side of the pillow!
