1962 Corvette, 327/300 HP, Private owner, beautiful CA car. Two tops.

1962 Chevrolet Corvette ORIGINAL Additional Info:

You are bidding on a stunning red 1962 327/300 HP Chevrolet Corvette. Red/white top/black interior, two-top car. This is a private owner sale of a California car I've owned for 22 years. In that time, I've chased down virtually all of the small problems associated with an older classic car, and meticulously maintained it. It is now an honest, no excuses, beautiful driver that I use frequently and reliably. In fact, I just had it out for a >150 mile trip in 90 degree+ weather and it performed absolutely flawlessly. You can buy this car and just drive it. The reason I'm selling it is similar to another car that I have, and the wife won't let me buy another car until I sell one.

Overview:

•1962 Corvette, 300HP numbers matching block, heads, intake, and differential. Replacement 4-speed trans.

•Also comes with matching red hard top. The market value of this top alone is more than $2,000

•Runs and drives well, honest, no excuses car

•To my knowledge, pretty much everything works on the car, including the mechanical-drive tach, speedo, fuel gauge, lights, and blinkers.

Cosmetic condition:

•Interior was replaced with high-quality new carpets, door panels, and seat covers

•Soft top was replaced with high quality white top

•Very nice glass, including new date-coded windshield

Mechanical condition:

•Engine runs strong. Starts right up. Professionally rebuilt about 4,000 miles ago. Mileage shown onodometeris not accurate.

•All springs and shocks, and many bushings replaced. There is a suspension squeak at one of the corners, but it is not too loud and does not impact the driving quality of the car

•Brakes work very well

•Minor oil leaks typical of an older car. It does not consume any noticeable amount of oil.

Replaced parts (partial list):

•Rebuilt engine

The Hagerty valuation for a car of this condition with these options is $66,840 (Good/#3 condition 300 HP car $56,900, plus 10% for 4-speed, plus $4,250 for hard-top). Since the transmission isn't numbers matching and the paint isn't completely perfect. I'm willing to let it go for a discount to this value.
