C5

C7 and C8!
C5 owner but C6 Z06 is peak corvette
68-72 c3
I believe the engine is a 327 cubic inch, Edelbrock intake, Moroso Air cleaner, Mick Thompson valve covers, the Carburator is a Holly probably a 600cfm.
It definitely made more than 330 too.
Yes the Corvette's had a 327 cubic inch engine in it small block
This 1962 Corvette was the first year for the 327 cubic inch small block Chevy. This year offered 4 engine options, 3 used a single 4 barrel carburetor with the base model being 250 h.p., the second option was 300 h.p. , third engine was 340 h.p. and the Fuel Injection engine was 360 h.p.. - - I have owned my '62 Corvette since 1983 and I love it !
This engine is lacking the original corvette ignition shielding as well as the air cleaner and valve covers. It could be an original 327 engine or an even later 350 c.i. engine. The numbers on the engine would tell the tale. The original shifter has been replaced with a Hurst unit.The hub caps are not original and are the type used on the C3 Corvettes. I suspect that this isn’t an 11K original mile car that was driven hard due to the modifications.
Corvettes did come with fire extinguishers in the trunk as dealer-installed accessories. These fire extinguishers were typically 2 3/4 lb in size and were offered by dealers as optional accessories that could be purchased at the parts counter. The extinguishers usually had a “GM” label on the metal label and were stamped with a year. They were designed to be mounted in the car somewhere, but there was no set location for mounting them; instead, it was left up to the discretion of the buyer. The original extinguishers often included a bracket and featured a GM logo on them. Additionally, road-side emergency kits also included a different style of extinguisher without a mounting bracket, intended to be stored in the trunk or rear compartment of the Corvette. These kits also had a “GM” label on the extinguisher.
We can tell it's Spring here when we can count all the vintage Vettes smoking and in distress.
Is that why they needed a fire extinguisher?
@@that_thing_I_do Sure.
327 cu in. Aftermarket manifold, valve covers, air cleaner, fan, holly carb. Later model hubcaps looks bad on that model
That's a chick magnet either way girls don't know the difference😂 don't be a square bear.@@stevegreen5837
I have owned two corvettes. 80 and 2004. I was 14 when I saw my first Corvette and it was the 62. I loved the dual headlamps. It was a red convertible and my favorite feature was the roadster style and the rearview mirror mounted on the dash. I was in love. It took me until 1995 to have the spare money to buy my brother-in-law's 1980 red L-80 with the T-tops. My wife surprised me for my 50th birthday with the 50th anniversary -04 model. One day I hope to have the mid-engined model.
The intake manifold, the Holley carburetor, the valve covers and air cleaner are all aftermarket. The valve covers are Micky Thompson.
I could not see the heads but 2.02/1.60 double hump iron heads came to mind.
@@_BAD_MERC_ 202 and 1.60 valves didn't come out on passenger cars until 1965 on the 350 hp 327
The fan is aftermarket also. Gorgeous car!!
Aftermarket distributor, Radiator fan.
1962 had double hump heads on 327 intake valves were 1.94"
also camshaft was smaller I do not remember lift or duration but we called them .008 and .018 and 63 to 65 the .030 .030 which was the valve adjustment on these solid lifter cams.
Also the shifter looks like a Hurst definitely a Hurst handle.
61's also had the weak case T-10 BorgWarner 4 speed.
61 was last year of tach drive was driven off the back of generator.
Early 1962 regulator Chevrolets like Bel Air's and Impalas had cast iron powerglides and generators
Late production had 35 amp and aluminum poweredglides.
In March 1957 I purchased my first car, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air two door hardtop. That summer I got the itch for a sports car which led me to my first 1957 Corvette in August. It was Inca Silver with a single four barrel carb, three on the floor and an AM radio. Unfortunately, a good friend totaled that car in September but fortunately insurance covered the loss with my $50 deductible. I had saved a little money, so I chose an Onyx Black 57 Corvette with dual four barrels, four on the floor and a signal seeking AM radio. I courted my wife to be and drove that car 45,000 miles over the next two years (no interstates back then) and sold it to a used car dealer for $2,000. I then bought a used 1956 Chevy sedan for $1,400 and used the remaining $600 to finance my upcoming marriage, all while a second lieutenant in the Army. BTW, my wife and I will celebrate our 65th wedding anniversary in September. Corvette power!!
Amazing, especially since so many "military" marriages fall apart.
Wow cool story !!!.......so how old are you now .....85+ ????😮
@@BluesBoy-ij2rb I will turn 90 two days after our anniversary. My bride was the best birthday present ever!
@@oldtroller2861 wow , that's great "90" ...a member of the greatest generation, !!!!!..........thank you for responding .........wishing you an early Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday.....keep telling your stories us younger guys (54) love to hear them !!!👍🙏💯⭐😀..............Erik
Sounds like money actually could get you something back then!
1958-1962 C1’s have always been my favorite. This is one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen in my life.
I agree,. There is just something about the ass of this car... My dad graduated high school in 1962 and enlisted in the Vietnam War in 1966. This car reeks the vibes of a generation of kids who were the first generation to realize that by the push of a button, the entire planet Earth could burn during a nuclear war with Russia. Tune in, Turn on, Drop out... Insane generation. This is the opinion of a Gen Xer historian enthusiast. Keep up the good content.
That is BY FAR my favorite year of Corvette.
1967 - 427- Corvette Stingray Convertible (preferably in Marina Blue, side pipes, red line tires, etc.) - absolutely at the top. My first new car was a mid-70's vette ordered from the dealer - out the door price was $9500. Excellent channel - I live in Lakewood a few miles from your shop - keep up the great work!
1967 was the best year for most American vehicles!
This is the correct answer. :)
Moroso is an aftermarket company. they specialize in oil pans and other accessories. i also see a holley carburetor, edelbrock intake, and mickey Thompson valve covers.
does it means those were aftermarket too? Im a Corvette fan, but you seem to know more! LOL
Makes me wonder if the engine hasn’t been replaced.
Yes , I came to say Mickey Thompson too
@@StevenSmith-pt8rz that engine may be a 327!
@@rogerbloxham5381 Definitely a 327/340 HP engine. With what they did with it, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a hotter camshaft in it as well. Probably pushing near 400HP.
I am going on 79 this year and this is the Corvette of my wish list. AWESOME JOB GUYS.
Your granddaughter is gorgeous...
@@richardgadoury8452 Its an A.I. bot that reads the video.
He talks too much...😊🎉
This is quite possibly one of the best before and afters you guys have done
The C3 was absolutely the sexiest!
Whenever I would draw a car when I was a kid it always ended up being a C3 Corvette.
I'm gonna amen that one!
Especially the early c3 convertible with the chrome bumpers
I’m also kinda partial to the C3 myself
Agreed its the only corvettes i ever liked
I have scanned a lot of the comments and can’t believe I saw no mention of Todd and Buzz and Route 66. That show helped put the Corvette in many garages.
That just means that you and I are very old!..lol
I’m old and was too young for that show!!
I’m up there with you too!
Best keep it in the family,drive it and enjoy it as your grandfather did. Once it's gone it's always gone. Remember it's only original once. It's a wonderful inheritance. Money is not everything. That 62 Corvette is in amazing original condition. Great clean up video. Wish I could own a car like that one.❤
As a former 62 Very owner and now 78 years old, loved watching you work on it. I also had the hardtop for it. It will always be my favorite car. Bought it in 1965 for $2,600.
wow that’s about 23k today not bad at all
1962 is my favorite classic Corvette, so seeing one in this condition broke my heart. Glad to see you guys bring her back.
Mine favorite too.
My favorite is the 1957.
This one is my favorite.
Great job guys, bringing back that classic old Corvette.
Just my opinion, seeing the overall condition of the Corvette and engine modifications, i.e. Edelbrock Intake manifold,
Holley carburetor, Moroso air cleaner and Mickey/Thompson valve covers, flexible radiator hose etc, etc. it's leaning more to 111,000 miles. May not be OEM Engine, I hope not! Good detail job. Keep em comin'!
You forgot to mention the fiberglass fan of death.
@@thomaswagner3206 The etc, etc covered the fiberglas fan! Tks!
SOOO BEAUTIFUL - might be my fav! Incredible work as usual, guys! Thx for blessing us by sharing!
sure hope they get it running😊
That Corvette is a work of art and you guys are the artists qualified to take it to its former glory. Beautiful job!!
That Vette is definitely not stock!
Never heard about cleaning artists
Hardly artists.
@@rolfbrunner3016 if you have passion for what you do, you are an artist.
Amazing transformation, the 62 model reminds me of the television show "Route 66."
The 61 and 62 vettes are my most fav. But 63-67 is the best looking with the vee shape airplane style rear window. The 63 split is most popular due to so few being made and only one year of production for the split. Alot of accidents occurred backing out of parking spaces with the split frame blocking your view. This triple black 62 is the HOLY GRAIL of vintage finds in 2023-24. After complete restoration this car should bring over $100,000.00.
Great job guys.
Wow Guys what an amazing job....This Corvette is beautiful, thanks for the video!
What an amazing transformation!!!
You gentlemen have serious skills. Best I have seen on the internet. Keep up the great work.
Great job on the old girl!!👍👍
Brought back to life! Beautiful car amazing detail as usual guys!
you guys did amazing job with this one i think its one of the best turn outs.
@WD Detailing - as someone that has been in to classic cars for 42 years, let me teach you something valuable . When washing off an engine, ALWAYS put bags over the distributor! You now have water inside the distributor, have made the points, condensor, rotor, etc all wet, and it will never start, let alone cause rust under the distributor cap area
I'm sure it will get worked on when they get ready to start it. I'm sure at least to clean the corrosion off the points.
@@freakindawgen Don't defend a mistake
I cracked a distributor cover/cap with a little too much water. Would run then die, die at start, finally popped it off to see crack inside not visible from outside. Yes, cover that distributor and vintage Holly carb.
@V8Deuce not a mistake. It's a mute point. Car will need a complete tune up, plugs points condenser. Only a mistake if they put gas in it, battery and crank it up. That in itself is a mistake. If it was a running car, which this is not, you would cover it.
@@freakindawgen Good points, the oil must be like dirty differential oil. If they don’t wash it didn’t change oil.
62 C1 and 67 C2 427 with Stinger hood, WOW what cars.
I love it, when you show the owners reaction, something you don't do often.
Great job, guys ! 👍
That's really a beautiful car.
I hope they are able to get it running so they can enjoy it again.
I would bet it"s 111k miles. The owner said his Grandfather drove it all over and his dad drove it all over. The soft top was replaced and the motor isn't original. I have a truck with 108K and the interior is perfect. If you take care of it, it will really stay nice.
Can a car be (basically) hermetically sealed for long-term storage without using ultimately degradable plastics?
I think you are correct...that was my thought too!
Way to many *visible* aftermarket mods for this to be an 11k original car. The M/T valve covers aren't even 1960's period correct - they are a later design. Flex-fan, Moroso air cleaner, Edelbrock intake, Hurst shifter, wrong wheel covers, no shielding over distributor (not radio delete) and who knows what else was changed under the car. No way someone spent all the time & effort on these mods, and then decided to park it for eternity. Door panels show cracking leather from body oils where 'arm was out the window'. Definitely 111k.
@@ericdemo5910 Good that you told them...
It’s 11k. It was not driven much
The Rolls Do the Rolls. Great video guys.
You guys did an awesome job once again
Beautiful Corvette and an awesome transformation! I've never been a big fan of Corvette's in general, but this one is really nice!!!
OMG! The Rolls! Do the Rolls Royce!!! 😍
Hey, Boys….this is one of the best reveals ever. And there’s stiff competition. Great job. Love your work.
Beautiful job guys, one of your best!
Mike is really a perfect fit to the team! Just as skilled but still humble and never backing up from taking on a challenge, even if it means working hard for hours or even days. Keep it up!
I like it better without the hub caps. I believe the wheels on it are called Rally Wheels. With the center cap and the chrome ring, they look awesome
Did it come with hubcaps on rally wheels?
No, Rally wheels came just as dood stated, "...center cap and the chrome ring..."
Mentioned in multiple comments already, the hubcaps are from a later model.
This was almost as pretty as my wifes backside. Sorry, I can't let you detail that, it's my responsibility. She's a 1963 model and still looks great. I've had her for 31 years and she looks better than the day I bought her. She's beautiful.
😂😂😂😂😂
❤
I know you're being facetious but she is not your property
@@jamestyndall529 Jesus Christ! have a sense of humor you sensitive little twit.
You guys are the absolute best!!!
These are the best types of videos you guys put out! That car is amazing after your done!
The 63 is the best... I think! That split window and the Aircraft style doors are off the chain!
Not a chance that car only has 11,000 miles. Too many engine mods and it looks like it's been restored. Either it's 111,000 or someone pulled a Ferris Bueller which was not super hard back then.
Then the burden is on you to prove it. I'll take the 11k figure absent concrete proof to the contrary.
Yeah, exactly, you have no real evidence.
Agree with you that it's probably 111,000, and there is nothing wrong with that. Too much aftermarket stuff on it for 11K miles, and those are C# wheel covers. My C3 had 90K on it because I had lots of fun with it. To me it doesn't make sense to have a fun car like a Corvette and make a stupid garage-queen out of it anyway.
I love this model. It's perfect if it will run. Auction value if running = $80,000. You guys do a top-notch job. Your expertise is uncommon. Keep it up!
Nice one guys, you have become my favourite detailing channel. especially love the reveals! My favourite Vettes are mid 70's Stingrays being a 70's child.
I’m not crying! I’m not crying! That’s beautiful!! American Muscle, Alive & well.
The larger steering wheel is helpful as the original C1’s didn’t come with power steering.
You Guys are Top Notch and do a Fantastic Job ❤
That is so beautiful! Definitely my favourite Corvette! You did a really good job, especially polishing it.🎉
I delivered a load of old Corvettes from the Kansas City Auction to "Vettes R Us' in Napoleon, OH. I had the pleasure of driving a '53 Vette. As I entered the lot, the owner popped the bonnet and compared the engine to photographs he had taken at the auction. Havins sold household appliances, I immediately noticed the name "Frigidaire" on the generator. I later learned that Frigidaire had been a division of General Motors prior to being sold to White Consolidated Industries.
Which I believe turned into white westing house,if i'm not right, please correct me.
The name - frigidaire - i believe still exists. About 12 years ago , i went to Mexico and saw refrigerators advertising in t.v but , under the name - Mabe industries -.
Hi, I love your videos!!! Keep up the work!!!
Awesome job as usual!
Great job guys!
Thanks so much guys! Job well done!
63 to 67 is my favorite years of Corvettes
68 to 71
A little over 14,000 made. Last year for the trunk and solid rear axle.
Great job guys!💪🏾
Great job guys!👍
i love the stingray model, but i think i love all the 80's corvette as a whole. this is special, a classic like this belongs in a musem and you guys helped a lot in bringing back to life. can't wait for the next one.
The owner has a stingray! It was sweet.
@@WDDetailing omg yes! It must have been amazing to see as well ❤️
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for featuring a C-1 Corvette. My fictional character, Summer Chastity Crowe©™(née Sylvester Charlton Crowe), was given a C-1 Corvette as a gift by her mother, Dr. Delilah Crowe©™, although hers was painted Ermine White with Roman Red coves and interior as opposed to all black with a white top. The Ermine White top for Summer's innocence and purity, the Roman Red for the pain and suffering she endured. But then I realized, all black works too. Great work guys.
FYI: My favorite Corvette is the 1958-1960 C-1, the one with the heavy chrome "teeth" grille at the beginning of the video but Summer likes the 1961-1962 ducktail/boat-tail rear end Corvettes. as for what car you're doing next, I'm going to hazard it's the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost and then either MG or Jaguar next to it, I couldn't see clearly what it was. in 1961, you still had 283 cubic inches and in 1962 you had a 327 cubic inches.
Wow. I love Corvette's. This 62' turned out great. Well done.
my favorite corvette is the 1963 split window
because one of the guys i grow up with bought a brand new stringray in 1963 and i would see this car every day. LOVE THEM.
Fun fact: you can double tap a comment to like it.
You lied to me.
Wait. You can't hate a comment twice? Just kidding. Loved the video.
@@jonathanclark4225 no bro i also like your comment with using this trick 😉

Everyday is a school day.
How bout a colab with Derek Bieri Vice Grip Garage!? He has hundreds of barn find cars that need detailing!
Dalton does revivals too but he's not a concourse guy. ua-cam.com/video/iDnHeWX0nLA/v-deo.html
Derek won't even clean a windshield or do brakes before a 900 mile journey. He has zero desire to make anything nice and the inbred sparkalator crowd eats it up like he's special.
being totally bed-bound do to MS, you guys are my favorite detailing channel to watch especially the older cars 50s 60s and 70s keep up the good work you guys are awesome!¡!
This is my favourite so far. Great job.
Vice grip garage has a 80s Chrysler that you guys should clean up. Would be a great collaboration.
I have owned 5 Corvettes. A 77 C3, three C5`s and a C6. My favorite for all around fun and dependability is a C5.
Amazing work yall
The mirror on the dash is genius in my opinion. That was my one compliant about my MX-5, when running the corners it really got in the way for me being able to look through the corners. And the logic for a car like that is not to worry about what's behind you, just be aware of what's in front of you. I love the early C1 Vettes, but I've always wanted a mid to late model C3 for the styling of course.
Every time I watch your videos, I want to go outside and wash both of my classics.
Great job!
I dare you 😎
@@WDDetailing yeah until I go outside which is like 110 degrees here in Miami. 😆😆😆
@@305classics Same, 114 here in Vegas. 😂
They came with a 327, not a 283, Moroso is aftermarket as are the MICKEY THOMPSON valve covers. In my opinion, the best detail job I’ve seen on this channel, but then I’m partial to black on black Corvette’s. 👍
I had a 1961 Corvette with a 283 engine, but you're right, in 1962 the 327 was introduced.
@@jessebaldwin2661 I believe this is a 62, but I’m no expert, so I just threw out the numbers for the 62.
What an awesome transformation great job guy's
One of your most transformative videos yet!
Keep up the good Content
Gorgeous car..
You guys did a nice job. 😎👍
Thank you so mcuh guys for sharing such classics what an incredible job on it love from india❤
Aftermarket parts; Moroso air cleaner, Holley carb, Edelbrock intake, chrome water outlet, Mickey Thompson aluminum vave covers, Cal Custom valve cover wing bolts, Flex-a-lite fiberglass fan, Hurst shifter. I also think the Chevy Rallye wheels and Turbine wheel covers would be from a later model and not original to that Vette.
You're correct. The hubcaps are 1968. I'm kind of digging the way they look on this '62
Upper radiator hose is from the Auto zone universal flex hose rack. 😁👍
How can someone with a 11000 mile C1 corvette not afford a car cover????
Car covers are not good for long term storage.
And leave it rot for decades...🙈
When I watch your videos I get relieved from anxiety and depression. I feel so positive.
What an amazing job. Thank you for taking care of a beautiful car
Can you talk about all the products you use? I think many of classic car owners would love to know.
I just found my uncles old 1970 dodge challenger with 3000 miles on it that was sitting in a barn for 40 years if you want to come and clean it
I think u need to contact them by email or ig 17:22
Contact them!!!
Wonderful Video! I am so glad that I ran across your channel. Yes I am a happy subscriber!!!
Those models of corvette always remind of Robbie the robot with those chrome grills. Beautiful cars, great job guys. Rgds from Down Under.
Who else noticed it was originally a red car?
Those hubcaps are wrong
Yeah, 1971 I believe. On rally wheels. Go figure.
They're called Wheel Covers.
WOW!! I love that cars like this are still out there!!! 1967!!
Ummm.it's a 1962.
By far the most beautiful C2 was 62....was a joy to watch you bring her back!
10 mins of cleaning , 25 mins of talking
This is the moment when you realize how wealthy you are when you say, what are we going to do with this "car"? "This car", this car! Not even, what are we going to do with this classic transitional Corvette that was the dream car of so many adults and kids at the time? They don't deserve to have it! Grandpa should have sold it to someone who would love it like he did before he died! None of them know what they are looking at! They're like: It's shiny now! It was dirty for a long time but now it's shiny!
You guys are frickin Awesome
All of the vet Are great for sure wish the best for you guys
