Chevrolet Corvette 1962
General description :
For sale in our Houston Showroom is this gorgeous 1962 Chevrolet Corvette. This is one for ages! Fresh out of a complete nut and bolt restoration, with a couple of minor upgrades (read on), this car is absolutely stunning and shines bright like a diamond in the sun. Originality is key with this Corvette, except for the fact that it has received new front disc brakes, new power rack and pinion steering, and an HEI ignition system; however, both improve its driveability significantly, without detracting from its originality. The car has a very straight body, with very clean lines on its all-original body, and it looks as good underneath as it does up top. It runs & drives very well, with plenty of power and torque from its 327 CID V8, and the smooth-shifting original T-10 4-speed manual transmission. The entire interior was restored, with new carpet and new seating, as well. This Silver Streak has a newly-rebuilt 327/340 HP engine, with an owner-stated original block and trans. However, when the engine was re-decked, the block pad stamping was damaged. We'll not claim it as a numbers-matching car due to that, but it very well may be provable (call Horatio Caine, maybe?). It has a great close ratio T-10 4-speed manual transmission that shifts very smoothly up & down through the gears. It has beautiful original hub caps & new tires. Options on this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette for sale include AM Wonderbar Radio, Hub Caps, Seat Belts, Spare Tire and Jack, and Vinyl Interior. Overall, it’s a very impressive car & has a combination that’s given it that ‘Look that makes YOU Look'. This rare beauty is sure to please its next owner for many years to come. This vehicle is an absolute head turner and would make an amazing addition to any garage.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
