1962 Corvette formerly belonging to Evander Holyfield

1962 Chevrolet Corvette Description

This car was purchased at Julien's Auction during the 2012 Evander Holyfield sale. We recently began a frame off restoration. The fiberglass body has been completely restored and ready to be painted. The sale includes a “late model” Chevrolet 5.7 liter LS1 fuel injected engine from a previous restomod. The engine hasn’t been tested for operation.
Here is part of the history and description from the sale.
Growing up the youngest of nine children in Georgia afforded Evander Holyfield the means by which to become a World Champion boxer but not much else. After winning a bronze medal in the 1984 Olympics, he was interviewed on television, the host asking, “if you could have any car what would it be?” The answer was a 1962 Corvette. Before too long, an adoring fan granted him this wish by gifting him this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette. The year is significant as it is the year Evander was born but also because it is the last production year of this body style.
Corvette has long been the standard by which all other American muscle cars are judge due to innovate styling, quick handling and generous horsepower under the hood.
