The car is said to have repainted red in 1998 and features a black soft top, a driver’s side mirror, quad headlights, color-matched coves, a fender-mounted antenna, and polished bumpers and trim. The seller notes a tear in the soft top vinyl, a blemish in the paint in front of the left-rear wheel, and a ding on the left-front bumper.

The car is said to have repainted red in 1998 and features a black soft top, a driver’s side mirror, quad headlights, color-matched coves, a fender-mounted antenna, and polished bumpers and trim. The seller notes a tear in the soft top vinyl, a blemish in the paint in front of the left-rear wheel, and a ding on the left-front bumper.
The 15″ steel wheels feature simulated knock-off spinner covers and are mounted with 6.70-15 Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by drums at all four corners. Service in January 2023 involved adjusting the brakes and replacing the tie rod ends.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Interior features include a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a heater, lap belts, polished sill plates, and carpeted floor mats. The analog clock and Wonder Bar AM radio do not work.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a sweeping 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and gauges for coolant temperature, voltage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 678 miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 327ci V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 340 horsepower and 344 lb-ft of torque. Service in 2022 involved overhauling the carburetor and replacing the fuel pump.
The engine stamping above matches the last six digits of the chassis number. The RE suffix is consistent with a 327ci V8 rated at 340 horsepower and designated for a 1962 Corvette with a single four-barrel carburetor, a high-lift camshaft, and a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The fuel tank is said to have been replaced in 2022, and work performed in preparation for the sale involved resealing the transmission as well as replacing the pressure plate, clutch disc, and throw-out bearing.
