Details

This magnificent custom 1962 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is the ultimate Resto-Mod C1 with a GM Performance LS3 V8 engine, 4L65 automatic transmission and Art Morrison GT Sport chassis. It was built by classic Corvette specialists Loomis Automotive in Oklahoma City, OK, which has been in business since 1900 and has known about this car for many years because it was locally owned by Ray Peters. The car originally had a white exterior with a black interior. Tons of receipts from ranging from 1983 through 2012 are included. The car was a product of 4-year build that started in 2017 and was finished in 2021. Since completion it has been driven 300 test miles. The vision of this build was to design a C1 that would be easy on the eyes and also extremely user-friendly. Everything on this car was restored or replaced with great attention to detail. The exterior was tastefully designed, incorporating a 1958 Corvette chrome front grille and headlight bezels, along with chrome side spears. It was refinished in a beautiful shade of white, which dresses it well. The original hardtop was painted to match, and a hardtop stand is included. The paintwork was performed to high show-quality standards. It was outfitted with a new black Stayfast cloth top. It's equipped with modern Octane Lighting LED Red Halo parking lights, Oracle headlight bulbs and LED taillights. The car rolls on EVOD ACC Classic hubcap polished 18-inch wheels with spinner center caps engraved with 1962 cross flags. As documented, the wheels alone were $9,318. The car grips the pavement with Diamond Back Classic red line tires. The interior was also tastefully designed, keeping the original factory appearance with subtle enhancements. The gorgeous Al Knoch black leather interior includes the hardtop molded headliner, visors, dash pad, grab bar, kick panels, door panels, armrests and Corvette-embossed bucket seats with AOK seat tracks. Some interior custom features include Dakota Digital VHX black-face gauges, Antique Automotive radio with AM/FM/Bluetooth and Alpine amplifier, 3-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, modern seat belts, Lokar pedals, folding cup holders and Daytona carpeting. The trunk compartment was boxed and upholstered with black leather material. It has a charging cord for storage. The painted engine compartment is highly detailed throughout. It has a new complete American Autowire wiring harness. The car is powered by a new Connect & Cruise GM Performance 6.2-liter LS3 engine rated with 430hp. The engine was outfitted with a Hooker black textured oil pan, black and red valve covers, silver air intake tube, Billet Specialties Tru Trac pulley system and power steering reservoir, chrome alternator and Powermaster Performance starter. The engine is cooled by a DeWitts aluminum radiator with chrome fan shroud, SPAL electric fan, black billet coolant overfill canister and crossed flags engraved radiator cap. The engine breathes through Ultimate headers and a completely polished dual exhaust system with MagnaFlow mufflers. The engine is coupled to a new GM Performance 4L65 automatic transmission with Lokar shifter. The power is transferred to the gray powder-coated 9-inch rear end housing with 31-spline Strange axles, Dana 1350 yoke and 3.70 gears. The undercarriage is also highly detailed throughout. The Art Morrison GT Sport chassis was powder-coated silver. It's equipped with power rack & pinion steering, polished suspension with coilovers and PAC Racing springs, and Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes. This car has been completely serviced and detailed, which is documented with an invoice that's included.
