Exterior and Interior

Sporting a new coat of Glasurit Tricoat Pearl Maroon, this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod is a stunner to behold as it rolls along on shiny aftermarket alloy wheels with low-profile tires. Underneath, we’re told that the body is mounted on a black powder-coated Chassis Concept frame. The latter is necessary because the powertrain has received a shot in the arm, too. But before we get to that, let’s admire the car’s sleek lines, dual headlamps, and convertible body style. You’ve got a new Stayfast convertible top, plus the original body colored matched hardtop included in the sale. Yes, this Chevy can be driven in all weather and all seasons with confidence. The two-seat cabin of this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod is a custom affair in sleek Saddle Brown. The iconic, twin-cowled dashboard has been tastefully re-imagined with plenty of premium materials and finishes. You’ll find a new set of Dakota HDX electronic digital gauges framed by a flat-bottomed, sporty steering wheel. There’s a Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system for optimal driver and passenger comfort. Then, you can fire up some tunes of choice via the Bluetooth AM/FM radio and drive off into the distance.

Engine

The engine that propels this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod is a modern Chevy LS3 6.2-liter V8, as found in much newer Corvettes. It makes 495hp and sends it to the rear wheels via a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox and a Dana-independent Posi rear end. Adjustable coilover suspension from a C7 Corvette at the front and rear suspension from a C4 Corvette ensure that handling is suitably matched to the increased power. There’s also a set of Wilwood power brakes with Power Stop drilled rotors. Other items of note include Lonestar rack and pinion power steering, a CVF polished accessory drive kit, a Sikky intake, a CVF polished alternator and compressor, and a custom exhaust. Meanwhile, there’s also a DeWitts aluminum radiator and a Tanks Inc fuel tank with pump.
