62 Corvette 327-340hp

[napa68]

Over the weekend, I bought this killer 62. Born with drivetrain 327-340hp 4 speed, 4.11 car. I purchased the car out of a 49 year ownership. Roger bought this car out of Bloomington, IL in 1976 back when the car had 30k miles on it. It now currently has 43k miles on it. Roger commissioned a repaint on it's unhit body back in 2019. Original interior (with the exception of the carpets). Just a wonderful car, with a wonderful story, from a wonderful guy. Roger will turn 94 next month. I am going to put this car through the usual process that I do, but this one is going into the personal collection.

A special thank you to Nick (Supreme Deluxe) for running over and inspecting the car for me on short notice. Roger was getting action on the classified, and thus I was able to commit right away, and get Roger paid.

----This is the way a 62 should be be set up as far as I'm concerned. Love the wheel and tire combo. That puts your 62 over the top for me....Bill S

Looks perfect, can you share the tire sizes?

[Nasblu]

They are 670-15 tires.

While the transmission took a bit longer than anticipated, it is done and on the way back. I should have it Monday. The blocker rings on 2nd and 3rd were toast, and the front bearing was not all to healthy. 2nd gear itself did not look too bad, but elected to replace it with an NOS unit. Surprisingly, the shafts were MINT! Tom expressed some concern over that if the car was used as intended. With a little luck, this should be back in service EOD Monday, or Tuesday morning.

I still see spots of undercoating I forgot how much Tom likes to use gasket sealer to dress the gaskets. At this point, what's a little more clean up work??

You can't beat red/red, what a beauty, Tim.
