1962 | Chevrolet Corvette

A beautifully restored 1962 C1 ‘Vette’ in Roman Red/Beige on a beautiful red interior. 

It was purchased by the current owner from a Corvette specialist in Pennsylvania, USA in 2007. After shipping the car to Hungary (Europe), it was fully restored (engine, chassis, bodywork, interior) between 2007-2011 to very high standards at Motor-Classic Ltd, a renown restorer near Budapest. Documents and many photos covering the restoration are provided. 

The car is fully up to date (services and mechanicals). It comes with the iconic 5.4L small block V8 engine, which produces 275 hp and was fully upgraded to be reliable, safe and fun to drive.  It has a beautiful, new white soft top - no hard top provided.
