This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette underwent refurbishment and modification under prior ownership and is fitted with a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 mated to a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a billet 9″ rear axle with 3.90:1 gearing.

The current owner purchased the car in 2023, and fluid services are said to have been performed within the last year. This C1 Corvette is offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a car show board and a clean Idaho title. The car was repainted during the refurbishment, reportedly in the shade of Black Cherry. Additional details include a black soft top, a fabricated grille, color-matched coves, and a stinger-style hood with red stripes and flame accents as well as LS3 badges, split bumpers, and exhaust outlets that exit through the rear quarter panel. Budnik 20” wheels feature polished lips and are mounted with 255/35 front and 275/30 rear Sumitomo HTR ZIII tires. Wilwood six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers over slotted and drilled rotors provide stopping power. The car is reportedly equipped with Jim Meyer front suspension components, a four-link rear setup, Viking coilovers, and rack-and-pinion steering. The two bucket seats are upholstered in red leather and ostrich upholstery that extends to the center console, door panels, and steering wheel. Interior equipment includes a Hurst shifter, power windows, air conditioning, and a Kenwood touchscreen head unit linked to aftermarket stereo components. The aftermarket steering wheel frames a digital instrument cluster, while auxiliary readouts are mounted below the speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 3,500 miles. The 6.2-liter LS3 V8 was installed in 2016 and is fitted with a fabricated fuel rail cover, ceramic-coated tubular headers, and MagnaFlow mufflers. Fluid services are said to have been performed in 2022. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a billet 9″ rear axle with 3.90:1 gearing.
