This is a very good example of a 1962 Corvette. There is not a visible serial number on the engine block pad so this is not a "numbers matching" Corvette. I am asking $62,500. History: My father purchased this car in the mid-late 1960 s, and I believe he was only the 2 nd owner. He was an engineer and racer. He modified and raced the car in amateur track competitions (quite successfully) in the late 1960 s to early 1970 s. Being an engineer, he was constantly tinkering with the car and about every 10 years he would disassemble, overhaul, and repaint the car, bringing it back to original stock condition by the 1980 s. In the 1980 s - 1990 s it was his daily driver to work. He also participated in car shows, road rallies, and local Corvette club activities. In the early 2000 s he completed it's final overhaul and off-frame restoration and repainting. I took ownership of the car in 2005 after he passed away. I also enjoyed driving it and participating in car shows. I have kept the car in good running condition and repaired and serviced the car as appropriate (I have full maintenance records since I took ownership).
