1962 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie For Sale - Numbers Matching Fuelie 327ci/360hp Engine, Triple Black

 LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie

 Chevrolet Corvette introduced late in 1953 model year and produced through 1962 commonly referred to as the "solid-axle" generation. In 1961, the rear of the car was completely redesigned with the addition of a "duck tail" with the now iconic four round lights. This tail light treatment would continue for all following model years of Corvettes. The most noticeable exterior changes for 1962 were the removal of the side cover chrome trim. Without the trim bright work, it was not possible to offer the coves in a contrasting color so for the first time since 1955 Corvettes were offered in solid colors only. A blacked-out grille and ribbed chrome rocker panel molding were new. The standard features now included an electric clock, dual exhaust, tachometer, heater and defroster, seat belts, outside rearview mirror and windshield washer. 

  The most significant new feature was the Small-Block was enlarged to 327 cu in which in standard form produced 250 bhp. However, for an extra $484.20 over list price, the option Code 582 Fuel-Injected 327 version produced 360 bhp making it the fastest of the C1 generation.

  Suddenly, the 160-mph speedometer on the Corvette’s dash became quite serious. Racing privateers capitalized on the new engine, as Corvettes took a class win at the 1962 Daytona Continental and won the year’s SCCA Class A-Production title. This high performance fuel injected 327ci engine was only ordered on 1,918 Vettes making these cars very rare and coveted by collectors alike. 

  This final year, fuel injected 1962 Corvette offered here is an incredible example of a frame off restoration,  finished in a sought-after triple-black color scheme and is accompanied by a matching black convertible hardtop. Believed to be one of 1,918 1962 Corvettes equipped with the powerful Rochester fuel injection system, the car has retained its numbers-matching 327-cubic-inch V-8 engine, and a four-speed manual gearbox further increases this machine’s desirability.

  Corvette boasted in their advertisements that 'Fuel Injection V8 and a four-speed box isn't a drive at all, it's an emotional experience!' True and this Tuxedo Black Corvette Hardtop/Roadster with the 327/360HP will ensure driver and passenger excitement travelling down any style of road.
