This week Steve Cropley and Matt Prior return to the store cupboard as they discuss why liberal Americans like Subarus much more than conservatives do, Cropley tells Prior about the brilliance of the Lotus 49, and the pair discuss two vans with seats - the Volkswagen ID Buzz and Vauxhall Combo Life. There's more, too, including the Land's End Trial, the Polestar 4, the Volvo 360, and your correspondence.

1962 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale With Just 637 Miles Since Restoration

By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. One of the quintessential Corvettes If you're reading this, chances are you're well familiar with the previous generations of the ever-so-famous Corvette sports car. Chevrolet's flagship pavement punisher has been around since the C1 came out in 1953, a generation that went through several redesigns before giving up the throne to the C2. If you've been after a C1 Corvette of your own, but wanted one that looked as original as possible, boy, do I have the treat for you. This particular 1962 Chevrolet Corvette is for sale right now on Exotic Car Trader, and you can check it out by clicking here. 0:09 / 0:09 What is the Sony Honda Mobility Afeela 1? Watch More I've seen my fair share of Corvettes on ill-fitting chrome wheels the size of Jupiter's rings, but this 1962 C1 keeps it clean and mean. 1962 marked the last year that a Corvette would have a trunk until 1998 and the last year for exposed headlights until 2005. Notable changes for this model year included a new black grill with a chrome surround and chrome rocker panel moldings. 14,531 units were produced with an MSRP of $4,038, equivalent to around $43,019 in today's money.

We may receive compensation. 1962 Chevrolet Corvette — Source: Exotic Car Trader With only 637 miles on the clock since its frame-off restoration, this C1 is finished in a single-tone Tuxedo Black over a matching black leather interior. That oughta make for a good time in the summer sun. This one includes the factory hardtop, as well as a soft top, in case lugging around the hard top on a summer cruise is too much of a hassle. The steel wheels are finished in a matching shade of black, with chrome center caps providing a break from the black while matching the various chrome finishes on the car, such as the bumpers and side trim.

The interior sports AOK bucket seats alongside the original clock, signal-seeking radio, dash-mounted rearview mirror, and beautifully tactile knobs, buttons, and sliders. Special mentions have to go to the classic arc-shaped Corvette cluster and the gorgeous green backlit analog gauges that let you keep a close eye on the car's vitals. Not to mention that they easily trump any digital display in a modern car. Under the hood is a 327 cu in V8 like the one that would have come from the factory, although the listing doesn't mention if it's the original engine or not. It has, however, been fitted with modern Edelbrock ProFlo sequential fuel injection and a COPS camshaft. All of that is mated to a Borg Warner T10 4-speed manual gearbox with a 2.20 low gear ratio. If all of that is a bunch of gobbledygook, then to put it mildly, this thing can boogie. Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

Then there's the argument of 'how often are you going to use all of that ludicrous power?' The C1 Corvette is America's sports car at its purest level, before it tried to beat the Ferraris and Lamborghinis around the track. With a $94,996 asking price, it's by no means a cheap car, but it's a reasonable one considering the history you're wielding. About the Author Gabriel Ionica View Profile
