Micheal Svoboda's View

This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a remarkable blend of classic style and modern performance. With its strong-running 400ci engine, distinctive hot-rod appearance, and well-preserved body and interior, this Corvette is a true piece of American automotive history. The option to revert to its original 4-speed manual setup adds to its appeal for purists. This beauty was built decades ago, but fortunately not cut up- even retains its generator. It’s a strong Vette with factory VIN tag. (1962 Borg Warner T-10 Trans that needs rebuild is available if interested in returning to a 4-speed: $400 extra). Micheal Svoboda is the COO of Driveway Deals and has a love for corvettes since middle school when he seen a 63 Split Window going through restoration.

Exterior: The exterior of this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in a striking Red with White coves, complemented by a black convertible top. The car sits on old-school Keystone Classic wheels, which add to its classic hot-rod appearance. The body is an original, no-hit fiberglass shell, retaining its factory lines and rust-free condition. The frame remains unaltered and super clean, highlighting the car’s well-preserved state. All lights, signals, and the horn are fully functional, ensuring the car is road-ready and safe for cruising.

Interior: Inside, the Corvette features a classic Black interior that pairs perfectly with the red and white exterior. The interior includes factory power windows, which are still in working order, and an old-school Hurst dual gate shifter, providing a nostalgic driving experience. The clutch and brake pedals remain in place, despite the car’s current automatic transmission setup, offering a nod to its original configuration. The interior’s overall condition reflects the car’s careful maintenance and preservation over the years.

Mechanical: Under the hood, this Corvette is powered by an early 1970s Chevy 400ci V8 small block engine, enhanced with LT1/Z28 double hump heads featuring the desirable “186” castings. A 780 CFM Holley dual-feed carburetor sits atop an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, providing strong and responsive performance. The engine is cooled by a Dewitts high-performance aluminum radiator and an electric fan, supplemented by an aftermarket 5-blade water pump fan. The transmission has been upgraded to a Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic, replacing the original 4-speed manual. However, the original clutch and brake pedals remain, and a Borg Warner T-10 transmission is available if the new owner wishes to return the car to its original manual configuration. The Chevy 12-bolt posi-traction rear end with 3:73 gears ensures that power is efficiently transferred to the road.
