LS3-Powered 1962 Chevy Corvette Convertible Restomod Is Both Beauty And Beast

With only 100 miles clocked since restoration, this bright beauty is ready to take home all the top honors.

With the Corvette being around for almost a decade, the model had already paved a name for itself as a highly desired sports car. With stunning good looks and plenty of power on tap from the factory, the '62 Corvette was a highly desired first-generation model. This fine example has plenty more to offer than your regular factory model. A beauty to behold, this fully restored 1962 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is also beastly with its modern powerplant and state-of-the-art chassis.

Sprayed in an award-winning brilliant Salsa Red, this C1 roadster is nothing less than bold perfection. One of the best features on this classic is the ZR1-style hood complete with a glass insert that allows everyone to peek at the small-block without lifting the hood. Even better, an under-dash switch hydraulically raises and lowers the hood without leaving the driver's seat, a feature not even the new Corvettes possess. A set of 17-inch wheels on all four corners are the perfect finishing touch to the exterior. The red matching interior is fitted with genuine Italian-grade leather bucket seats. This beauty also comes with a removable hardtop. With only 100 miles clocked since its restoration, this gem is guaranteed to bring home first-place awards at any car show.

Under the hood sits a fuel-injected Chevy LS3 V8 engine by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering backed by an electronic 4-speed transmission. Spent gases flow through a Magnaflow dual exhaust system. Sitting atop a top-of-the-line Art Morrison chassis, this '62 Vette features a Ford-9-inch rear end and a rear triangulated four-link suspension and coilovers. Four-wheel disc brakes easily bring all that power to a halt.
