1962 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie - Matching Numbers 327/360hp Fuel-Injected V8 Engine
A pinnacle of early fuel-injected performance, the 1962 Chevrolet Corvette represents the final and most refined evolution of the first-generation (C1) Corvette. Marking the end of an era, 1962 was the last year for the iconic solid rear axle and exposed trunk design, making it especially desirable among collectors. At the top of the performance hierarchy sat the legendary fuel-injected 327 cubic inch V8—an engineering marvel of its time—delivering an impressive 360 horsepower and cementing the Corvette’s reputation as America’s true sports car. The example offered here is powered by the matching-numbers 327/360hp fuel-injected V8 engine. Power is delivered through a T10 4-speed manual transmission and a desirable 3.70:1 Positraction rear axle, providing the kind of exhilarating driving experience that defined the fuel-injected Corvettes of the early 1960s. Finished in striking Honduras Maroon over a Black vinyl interior, this Corvette presents beautifully with excellent attention to authenticity throughout. Accompanying this special Corvette is the optional hardtop, a rare and desirable feature. The fuel injection unit and distributor have been expertly restored by renowned fuel injection specialist Ken Hansen, ensuring both proper function and historical accuracy. The interior has been thoughtfully refreshed while maintaining its original character. New seat covers and foam from Al Knoch Interiors have been installed, along with new carpeting in the correct salt-and-pepper pattern. The dash pad and door panels remain original, preserving the car’s authentic feel. The car is further enhanced by its beautifully presented chrome, stainless, and brightwork, all of which contribute to its overall show-quality appearance. A highly desirable specification combining top-tier performance, excellent originality throughout, and careful restoration, this 1962 Corvette fuelie represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic and sought-after American sports cars of its era.
