Our Chevrolet Corvette C1, introduced in 1962, now shows 24,000 miles. Since its vintage odometer contains only 5 digits, it is impossible for us to guarantee this mileage. Originally from the United States, it has been registered in France for several years and changed ownership on January 15, 2021.
Presented in the exterior color Red, combined with a Black leather interior, this Corvette offers a presentation faithful to the spirit of the last-generation C1 models. The body has some minor visible defects, while the cabin is in good overall condition, with the driver and passenger seats redone about two years ago. The instrumentation is operating normally.
Equipped with a 300-horsepower V8 coupled to a manual gearbox, this C1 perfectly represents the American experience of the sixties: an engine full of character, a raw drive and a timeless line. The mechanics work very well, no costs are to be expected.
No documented maintenance history is available, but the copy has benefited from rigorous maintenance by its owner, a regular and serious follow-up over the last 13 years.
The consumables are in good condition, consistent with the moderate use of the vehicle.
This Corvette C1 has two keys, its technical inspection, the certificate of administrative situation, a restoration file and a Carvertical report.
With its very good condition, its maintenance by a passionate person and its timeless charm, this Corvette C1 represents a rare opportunity to acquire an American icon in a sought-after configuration and ready to enjoy the road.
The Chevrolet Corvette C1 emerged as a quintessential American icon, first unveiled in 1953. Its creation was a response to the influx of European sports cars, designed to capture the glamour and freedom of post-war America, and symbolize Chevrolet's venture into high-performance automobiles.
Initially offered with a mere 150hp from its inline-six engine, the Corvette found its footing in 1955 with the introduction of the V8 engine, vaulting its status among performance enthusiasts. By the time the 210hp variant arrived, the Corvette C1 had firmly positioned itself as a prominent figure in the burgeoning American sports car market, rivalling the likes of the Ford Thunderbird.
Throughout its production, the Corvette saw numerous upgrades, including the 1958 refresh, which boasted quad headlamps and increased chrome trim, reflecting the era's automotive styling nuances. It became famous not just for its performance but also for its role as a pop culture staple. One such instance was its appearance in the popular television show, Route 66, where it symbolized adventure and spontaneity, embodying the spirit of the 'American road'.
The Corvette C1 became synonymous with celebrity, graced by stars like Elvis Presley, who not only owned but also sported one in his films. This association solidified its image as a car not just for the speed enthusiast but also for those enthralled by its style and charisma.
Reviews from the period hailed the C1's design and spirited performance, although initially criticized for its build quality and handling, improvements in later models garnered much more favorable responses.
Considering its novelty and modern allure at the time, the C1 effectively laid the groundwork for the Corvette’s legacy as a leading name in the realm of sports cars and retains a beloved status among collectors worldwide.
It remains a testament to American engineering ambition and cultural influence in the automotive sphere, beyond its production years.
