1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Sting Ray Roadster 327ci / 250HP V8 – 4-Speed Manual – Matching Numbers – Tuxedo Black – 2 US Collector Owners
We are extremely proud to offer this exceptional opportunity to secure an iconic 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Roadster, representing the final year of the first-generation Corvette and a highly desirable piece of American automotive history. Featuring its original matching-numbers 327ci V8 producing 250HP, with factory four-barrel carburettor and Muncie 4-speed manual gearbox, this classic Corvette delivers the authentic V8 soundtrack and analogue driving experience that collectors continue to seek.
This example spent its life with just two collector owners in the United States before being personally sourced from the second owner and imported into Victoria by its third owner. Remaining in its original left-hand-drive configuration, it has been on club registration since arriving in Australia. Finished in striking Tuxedo Black with a Black Vinyl interior, the Corvette presents with restored paintwork while retaining its original cabin and period-correct gauges and interior finishes. A partially restored example, it offers an appealing balance of preserved originality and presentation.
