1962 Corvette, owned 52 years & Fully restored

1962 Chevrolet Corvette vinyl Description

At age 74 I'm selling my Corvette; purchased about 52 years ago. The Florida title was updated on 8/14/75 when I changed my residence address. I had every intention of saving the car for my family but now have decided to sell it as after restoration this vehicle is so perfect that no one in my family would enjoy driving it or assuming responsibility for my car. In fact, the car has never been in inclement weather since the restoration in 2014. The ermine white paint is without blemish and the black interior appears 'as new'. In addition the black top has never been folded and the manufacturer's paper tag is still attached. The vehicle has always been garaged, but more important, all major parts are fully original to the car. matching number: block, transmission, rear end, radio, gauges, etc. The modifications, done by the restorer, were completed for driving reasons. Some include; better radiator, carb, intake, and electronic ignition. All these changes are easily reversible. As a side note, I have the original; full wheel covers, starter, and shifter, that will be included in the sale. I can be contacted between 9 AM and 9 PM at: (904) 737-3080 and please leave message. I encourage prospective buyers to view and drive this car as it appears and operates like a new 1962 Corvette.
