The 1961 Corvette was a very successful Drag Race car, with all 'three' 283 engine combinations.

Frank,

1962 Corvette (#2925 lbs.)

No optional cove 'two-tone paint', the triple accent body molding was
removed and replaced with a black finish, and the grille was changed to
a black finish. A more 'subtle' finish for 1962.

First year for the 327.

The 1962 Corvette, was not as successful at the Drag Strip as the 1961 Corvette. The 327/250 HP combination was the 'Best-of the-Three'
