This numbers-matching 1962 Chevrolet Corvette was restored to the highest level in 2007 by Nordstrom Select Auto in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. After selling at an RM Sotheby’s auction in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in February 2008, it went on to win a Senior National First Prize award from the Antique Automobile Club of America in 2010. With fewer than 600 miles added since the restoration was completed, this Corvette remains in show-winning condition today. One of 14,531 produced in the last year of the C1 Corvette, this Roman Red example retains its original fuel injected 360 HP 327 V8 engine and four-speed manual transmission. This award-winning C1 Corvette is being offered from our private collection with a clean title, clean VIN, and extensive restoration documentation and receipts. Shipping arrangements are available.
1962 saw the last Corvette with a trunk until the C5 FRC (Fixed-Roof Coupe) of 1998 and the last with exposed headlights until the C6 Corvette debuted in 2005. Finished in Roman Red, this example sports the restyled grille, bumpers, and quadruple tail lights first introduced for the 1961 model year. The body wears new trim, emblems, and hardware, the correct single mirror on the driver’s door, and the correct 1962-only rocker panel trim. Original parts were retained and refurbished whenever possible, including re-chromed original front and rear bumpers. Among the few modifications to this Corvette are a Magnaflow exhaust system and a license plate topper identifying this car as the recipient of a 2010 Senior National First Prize award from the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) for restoration excellence. Likewise, the interior of this 1962 Corvette has been restored to “time capsule” standards. The correct red vinyl seats and pile carpeting show no wear, as do the lustrous brightwork accents found throughout the cabin. Refurbished original and NOS items are mixed with new parts throughout. The characteristic wrap-around windshield conceals the decidedly modern Corvette script residing behind the passenger grab rail, and a centrally mounted rear-view mirror is found atop the dash. The odometer is centered within the 160 MPH speedometer and displays just 553 miles at the time of documentation.
Under the hood lies an engine exclusive to 1962 and original to this car: a numbers-matching 327 V8 with Ramjet fuel injection, special camshafts, and mechanical lifters. Thanks to these improvements over the carbureted base model, this 1962 Corvette left the factory with 360 horsepower, the highest power output available in 1962 and the most powerful spec ever offered on the C1 Corvette. This car’s restoration excellence continues under the skin, marked by new hardware, decals, tags, and labels throughout the drivetrain. Each system has been fully addressed with new rubber, hardware, and fittings, and no component was left untouched.

Occasionally, a manufacturer comes along that wows the car industry with their truly remarkable creations, leaving even the most critical journalists stunned. This 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 3LZ Convertible, which has just under 2,100 miles on the odometer, is a car that would knock the socks off all of its competitors. The Corvette name has been around since 1953, and in that over 70-year production run, it has always fulfilled its purpose through GM’s tried and tested formula – Look good, go fast, and make a good noise. Nice to see that not much has changed.
Choosing a seventh generation or C7 Corvette is a smart move if you want a sports car that’s iconic, a definite future classic, and of course, America. Chevy’s eighth-generation Corvette from 2020 onwards shifted into a mid-engined layout and went supercar chasing, making the C7 the last of the front-engined Corvette era. Today, you can find a lovely specimen in the shape of this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible from Sarasota, Florida, for sale with just over 30,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a host of features and a Corvette brochure is included too.
Being selected as the Pace Car for the prestigious and historically significant Indy 500 is no small feat. Automakers vie for this honor, and Chevy’s Corvette has held the torch multiple times. The Corvette’s first outing as an Indy 500 Pace Car was in 1978, with the C3 generation. Then, the C4 performed pace car duties twice, in 1986 and 1995. The C5 did it twice as well, the C6 racked up a four-year streak from 2005 to 2008 and a fifth time in 2012, the C7 had four outings, and the current C8 has done it five times (discounting the electric E-Ray variant). Chevy has capitalized on these outing as well, creating limited-edition Pace Car variants for lucky customers to buy, own and drive. That’s why this particular 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is significant as it marks the start of the Corvette’s Indy 500 Pace Car journey. Only around 6,500 units were made, and this example from Pennsylvania bears just 75,249 miles so far. Snap it up, quick, because it’s a piece of history.
