Description

While the new eighth-generation Corvette is undoubtedly exciting, there is still nothing like the first generation of GM's halo car to get the hearts of enthusiasts pumping. But by combining many of today's modern technologies with the old-school-cool look of a C1, this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Restomod embodies the best of both worlds. Fully repainted in Corvette Red to complement its white soft top, this car magazine feature car comes with plenty of receipts to document its exciting build.

Inside, we find a fully restored red leather interior complete with a set of red leather bucket seats separated by a console-mounted dual cupholder. A Grant GT three-spoke steering wheel operates a manual rack-and-pinion setup, sits in front of the original six-pod gauge cluster featuring a big half-moon 160 mph speedometer. A digital Retro Sounds AM/FM/AUX radio offers Bluetooth connectivity, sending tunes through a subwoofer and amplifier mounted in the trunk. LED interior lights, sound deadener under the carpets, and a finished trunk prove this car's rebuild focused on the details.

Pop up the hallmark front-hinged hood, and we find a built 383 cubic-inch crate V-8 engine with approximately 2,000 miles on it since its installation. Outfitted with lightweight aluminum heads, a Quick Fuel four-barrel carburetor, a performance cam, a Weiand intake manifold, Hooker long tube headers, and a MagnaFlow dual exhaust, this stroker small block undoubtedly pumps out far more power than anything from the factory in 1962. That power is then routed through a contemporary Tremec five-speed manual transmission, which also has approximately 2,000 miles on it, before being sent to the nine-inch rear end and a staggered set of polished Foose wheels.
