1962 Corvette 327/250hp Powerglide car. Matching numbers original Ermine White/Red interior car. Hardtop only car. One of the most complete cars I have ever seen. The only thing missing from what I have found is the jack, the ignition side shields and the air intake tube, which is common. I bought this car a few months ago with the intention of restoring it to 100% stock. This is an incredibly complete and solid car that deserves to be back on the road. I immediately tore into it and started going through it. The reason i am now selling the car? The opportunity has now presented itself for me to purchase my dream car that I thought I would never have the opportunity to own, a Matching Numbers 1967 Tuxedo Black/Red 427/435hp 2-top Convertible with a Red Stinger, Knock off wheels and Side Exhaust. I can't afford both cars and I am not passing up the opportunity on the 67 so the 62 is now for sale.The 62 came from IL and has not been on the road since the 70's. When I bought it it was unknown if the engine would turn over and the rear wheels were locked up. Since getting it home I have freed up the rear brakes and got the engine to turn. Here is a complete list of what I have now done and/or verified: Verified engine casting # and stamped pad # match VINVerified Distributor # correctVerified Cylinder #'s correctVerified Exhaust Manifold #'s correctVerified PG Trans #'s correctVerified Ermine White as correct original color ("Ivory" wax pen marking found under paint behind passenger seat)Verified Intake is correct for 300hp carVerified Carb is correct for 300hp carGot lights, turn signals, hazards, horn, wipers, air intake vent all functioningStarted disassembling engine for removal/rebuildingRemoved Carb- needs rebuiltRemoved Intake Manifold-cleaned, blasted & painted correctRemoved Exhaust Manifolds-cleaned, blasted and painted correctRemoved Cylinder Heads-need disassembly, cleaning & magnafluxing/rebuildingDrained fuel tankPut fresh oil and filter in before turning overRemoved and disposed of exhaust headpipe, mufflers & tailpipeFreed up rear brake drumsPatched tires so they all hold airPurchased (1) correct wheel to replace incorrect driver side front wheelPurchased a nice set of (4) correct Poverty/Dogdish hubcapsStarted removing paint on passenger side rear quarter The frame on this car is solid. It has rust scale, but I have thoroughly checked and tapped around this frame front to back and side to side with a pick hammer to verify it is solid. There is about a 3 inch hole on the rear cross member at the very edge of the frame boxing on the passenger side but that's it. I had planned on pulling the motor and trans to send them out to be rebuilt and pull the body off the frame. I was going to blast & paint the frame and replace/rebuild all suspension components, bushings, rubber components and brake and fuel lines at that time, mount the motor trans then remount/paint the body. Interior is in really good shape but I would replace the seat vinyl and carpet. If a person wanted to you could put a matching 250hp carb and intake manifold on the car. They are reasonably priced for this car. I think the 300hp stuff is an acceptable upgrade, as is the aluminum 340 hp Corvette Valve covers the car has as well.Great, complete and rare car that deserves to be back on the road!
