About
This car was bought about 6 years ago the engine was sitting on the ground. Sadly the man had passed away the original owner. The original engine was rebuilt everything is matching # from Oct #950.... it has two 61 parts on the back emblem, that was until number 1100 off the rack they finally used up all the old pieces building them then they went to all 62 parts until they hit the last one number 1400. The original radio everything works the wonderbar radio, knobs, little things are all beautiful and orginal. The neat part it is still original laquar paint. I would imagine that is when they pulled the engine not caringly so much..
The tiny little things like that darn expensive alum; aircleaner! It did need the undercarriage recleaned so the under carriage was recleaned and painted. It did have off frame restoration. I had a 70 corvette engine pulled affter the original engine was rebuilt. I belong to the straight akle club. I love my vcar its not a trailer queen I have fun! I love the smiles and the thumbs up I get driving it.
Its a 327/340 hp. stick White top red interiorer. Seat belts beautiful added beautifully. Original hard top. Four speed of course never would have automatic.
I have competed in local shows through out Ohio and either placed 1st 2nd and sometimes third.
I love meeting the people in all the shows. I'm a people person, I am not one to complain if I don't win up against a beautiful old Lincoln or any other car, to me thats the fun watching all the excitement.
I do not attend vette only shows. There seems to be a lot of team shows that they vote on their friends cars only so I avoid them. I like variety.
Hope you leave some nice comments and votes whatever they do for me. I'm new so I don't understand the stars except you like my car thanks!
I love my car
Susie!
Specs
62 corvette 327/340 Hp stick shift, alum; aircleaner , off road 62 exhaust added
It is # 950 off the rack so you find the bottom trim in 61, the back plate in 61, yet everything else in 62. A lot of studying and reading to get this far _ in 1962 # 1100 was the last one they used 61 parts on. October built I have original Registration also with only one other owner.
Mods
of road exhaust new 62 reproductions (paragon) Otherwise no modifications to make it anything but origianl condition..I believe a car like this should be original. I like modified cars but a 62 vette should be original and it is all origianl I only had to find two pieces for it to rebuild repllace one was the aircleaner the other was minor a minor item of a knob.
