This is our 1962 Fuel Injected, Triple Black Corvette. Former multiple NCRS Top Flight Award winner 360 hp, 327 cu. in. OHV V-8 engine with Rochester Ramjet fuel injection, T-10 four-speed manual transmission, independent front suspension with upper and lower A-arms, unequal length wishbones, coil springs, an anti-roll bar, and tubular shocks, live axle rear suspension with semi-elliptic leaf springs and tubular shock absorbers, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 102 in. New for Chevrolet in 1962 was the 327-cubic inch V-8, which replaced the venerable 283 in all Corvettes. With optional fuel injection and solid lifters, up to 360 horsepower was on tap, offering proof that the horsepower race of the ’60s was well on its way. Corvette’s base price topped $4,000 for the first time, and gone was the contrasting paint color in the body’ side coves. Surprisingly, the car weighed the same in 1962 as it did in 1953, despite being fitted with more equipment and structural reinforcements to improve rigidity. This was done by eliminating the unnecessary bulk in the layers of the fiberglass skin, in what would become the final version of the first-generation Corvette. At the rear, the 1962 styling mirrored that introduced on the 1961 model, which foreshadowed the upcoming 1963 Sting Ray yet-to-be introduced. The 1962 Corvettes were the first to come with rocker moldings, which were made from one-piece stamped aluminum and featured horizontal ribs and bright anodizing. Interestingly, up until about serial number 6000, they were unpainted, while later models had flat black paint between those ribs. Most recent Top Flight was in 2015 at the National Convention in Denver Co. Transfer to Judging Summary Sheet (Green Sheet).
