DESCRIPTION

This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette is believed to have been first delivered to Lace Motor Sales of Oregon, Illinois, and it was acquired by the selling dealer in 1984. Refurbishment work has been completed in 2020, and it included the installation of a replacement 327ci V8 equipped with Rochester mechanical fuel injection, a refinish of the exterior in black, and the reupholstering of the interior in red. Additional equipment includes a four-speed manual transmission, a Positraction limited-slip differential, a black soft top, 15″ steel wheels, a heavy-duty-style brake system, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror.

The car is refinished in black and features a replacement black soft top and windshield. Additional features include quad headlights, color-matched coves, and polished bumpers. The windshield was replaced and the polished trim is said to have been replaced or replated.

The 15″ steel wheels feature dog-dish hubcaps and are mounted with 6.70-15 Firestone-branded tires. Stopping power is provided by a heavy-duty-style brake system with front brake ducts, vented backing plates, and finned brake drums, and a pair of reproduction “elephant ears” scoops are included in the sale.

The two bucket seats are reupholstered in red vinyl, and interior equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror and an analog clock. There is no radio or heater.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, amperage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 45k miles.

The replacement 327ci V8 is said to have been bored .030″ over and is equipped with a rebuilt Rochester mechanical fuel injection system. The seller states that off-road mufflers were fitted during the refurbishment and notes that the engine stamp pad has been re-stamped.

Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential.
