Tedward's really going on a streak with the classics here 💪
Yep, giving Jay Leno a run for money.
Heck yeah! They're my fav. I'd love to see him in a BMW 2002.
@@henryrpage Or a 3.0 CS/CSL.
360 horsepower in 1962!!!!!!! This thing is THE business
If I got a ride in this in 1962 I’d have crapped myself. So fast.
@@TedwardDrives yea and you was babying that thing lmao you must’ve been scared
Engines were rated in gross horsepower back then. By modern rating standards it'd probably be closer to 270. Still pretty stout given that it probably only weighed about 3100 lbs or so.
@@channell11Yeah probably felt somewhere near-civic type r but with solid axle suspension lmao
What a car. What a time!
I’m a European car guy but the Corvette has a special place in heaven for me. It’s my favorite American car.
Respect, I also enjoy my eu cars, but I've always wanted a corvette
Best dashboard ever
Its just satisfiying to watch someone driving in pov..
That‘s just one of the nicest interiors
Geared really well for the torque curve on these cars! They go faster than I ever would have thought for sure!
It was a genuine shock. And then I couldn’t help myself haha
@@TedwardDrives If you look up the specs for the 327 Fulie of this year it would run 0to60 in 5.9 and top out at 132,and the quarter in the 14's.Can you imagine how fast this thing was in 1962 WOW!!
@@jerrywright8882 Exceeding 100 miles per hour in the early 60s would be quite the experience, I imagine.
@@jerrywright8882 Faster than that depends who is driving
@@TedwardDrives Keep in mind that the car doesn't have rack and pinion and that's where that slight play comes in. If it had R and P and more modern tires, it would be very good in the corners and there are R and P kits you can put on these cars but it would hurt the value.
Ah, the classic Corvettes were such beauties 👌
360 horsepower, that's more than I expected it to have by about 140. Man, these engines sound phenomenal. Even the big straight sixes they made sounded badass. Also you got tiresqueal up into third, that's some torque.
140? Classic American cars used to be quite powerful before all the emission stuff in the 70’s. In the early 50’s the used to have flatheads with 120hp. Soon after they shot up to 180 and then up to 300 at the end of the 50’s. At the end if the 60’s some were even rated at 400hp
@@dennis885600 yeah most of my experience is from the 70s that's why I thought it'd have like 220 to 240 and just a freight of torque to compensate
Fucking Corvette man, always putting the power down all the way back.
I gotta get one someday I tell ya...
@@jrag1000 it's a 100k car so lots to save up for
And with its light weight fiberglass body, it must fly
I had a 59 as a kid. I got it in 1968 just before my 17th birthday. Nobody really wanted the C1s after the Stingray came out. So my dad got the car for $1,800. My friends were driving Mustangs, RoadRunners, Cameros and VW bugs. But that damn Vette drew attention no matter where I pulled up. It was a total tank, leaky, but a hoot to own. The original engine had been replaced with a 327 with a four barrel. I had it up to 135 mph one time. Alas, I had a minor accident with it and my mother would not allow me to have it repaired. Sold it. Graduated from college and bought a 260z. It was so much better than that old vette. Then traded it for a 280z. And from 1992 to 2002, no two seaters. Got the itch again and bought a new C5 in 02, drove it for 14 years, traded it in for a new C7 in 16. I’ll never buy another Corvette as there is no manual anymore. I just can’t get passed that. The C7 is an incredible car, fast, good looking and very fuel efficient. Been blessed and lucky to have owned these great cars.
As Jackie Gleason used to say back in that day..."How sweet it is"... I used to love watching the 'Route 66' TV series... This is one sweet machine.
Wow! That gage cluster! They don't make em like they used to! I love the art deco cabin vibes along with the classic 60s British Sports Car proportions.
"this big oh shit bar for the passenger"🤣 awesome drive & video, as always
Oh man... the sound... got the big speakers on full blast and i am crying tears of joy! Thanks man, that thing is a dream!
Not many sounds as iconic as the small block Chevy.
Pretty car, great sound, and yeah, I heard you catch some rubber getting into 2nd and 3rd. Suspension aside, this car was ahead of its time.
I happen to own a couple of those engines and I'm going to tell you they are one of the toughest I've ever seen as far as their ability revving up holding up for years of torture
The special high performance Chevy motors of the 1960's were sold with a WARRANTY and red lined at 7000 rpm. And you are right, they would do it for years with just regular maintenance. Keep in mind, FI 283 Corvette place about 3rd overall at LeMans in 1960. Proud to say I MET Zora Arkus-Duntov at Bloomington in 1990.
Thank you Ted. I haven't been behind the wheel of my 62 in almost 60 years but your video captured everything perfectly. I did miss the sound of that big Carter AFB howling though. 🙂
That gauge cluster is awesome, as is the rest of this car!!
Car-wise that's for sure the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Absolutely love the C1 Vette since ever! Fantastic ride-on video!
Love these old muscle cars. Bring on more muscle!!!
The '62 Vet with the 327---360hp was !!!!a car to reckon with----not the fastest but the best one to drive---- a friend of mine had a new one in '62 and we just loved it----such an awesome experience ----those were the days !!!!! Thanks for the memories !!!!!!
*That binaural audio really gives a pov its character* 😍
We need more Corvettes
3:56 that fiberglass trunk sounds like a boat! 🚤
I'll be damned... a driving video that shows the presenter ACTUALLY coming to a stop at a stop sign. It's VERY rare nowadays to witness. Kudos. Also, lovely car and love the enthusiasm. Keep it up
I love black-on-red for early-mid 60s Chevies - absolutely crazy color combo but it looks so tough
Got a 58’ two tone prowling my neighborhood on the regular. Such a beautiful car. Chevy styling was on point in the mid fifties.
TEDWARD... SO HAPPY TO FIND YOUR CHANNEL 🤗... I AM 70 YEARS OLD AND THIS (62' VETTE) IS MY "ALL-TIME FAVORITE CAR" EVER SINCE I SAW IT ON THE TV SHOW "ROUTE 66"... AFTER 60 YEARS NOTHING ELSE MATTERS🥰
I love the natural sounding exhaust with no computer adding fake burps and pops.
Such a nice classy design… there is no words to say what an amazing driving experience, woaa. Also the narration is honest, not dramatical as other guys tend to use. Very beautiful machine man!
I like the way this guy reviews the car in addition to the excellent video quality. He covers a few points on the car a salesman would ignore such as the brakes(drums all around) and the handling characteristics.
This little beast rips it man. The torque is unreal but driving it in those narrow roads was scary.
That V8 burble is just the business. As an American, just the best sound.
As far as picking races while cruising the local McDonalds on Saturday night back in '62, this was the quickest car on the street. Back then the local AM radio stations would have record hops at the local dragstrip, and I remember one such event at Vineland Raceway in New Jersey that featured a match race between 2 showroom brand new fuelie '61s, with 283ci engines and they were turning 14.20s at 100mph, phenomenal for 1961. So the 327 with a few more hp and more torque would do a little better than that. These were very rare back then, 250 and 300hp were more common and still somewhat feared in such a light car. The sexy idle is courtesy of the Duntov camshaft.
Love it! I can almost smell the exhaust fumes. Well done!
What a beautiful car. One of chevys very best. I would do a modern interpretation of THIS car if I were chev.
Nah they gonna make more $10,000 when they’re brand new hatchbacks and shitty vehicles. they’re selling so many sparks or whatever it’s called I see them literally EVERYWHERE. The time of design is done in average automakers lol
@@paulbrown3302 I agree. Cars these days are typically either bland or over-designed.
Please don't,if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Most people couldn't afford one if they did decide to bring them back out. Think about gas mileage too, at the price of gas at the pump, wouldn't be too much driving.
Thank you for the Thrill Ride!
Forgot to mention you are a true honest guy man , much love for everything
Thank you!
Sounds like she’s got 4.11’s out back. Love it!
More likely 3.70.
Wow, that's a car to die for. I have a 67 Camaro with a just rebuilt 327. Quite snappy.
That car is a work of art.
That's living its bring tears to my eyes and yes a grind on my face. It's by all my favorite corvette year
That's so nice! your comments while driving was spot on. No cup holders, no nav. just hang on and go. After 1 hour in stop and go traffic your left leg turn to jelly. Thanks for the ride along! Oh, yea the radio who needs one. Just listening to the exhaust would be all the music needed! Whoever did the restoration sure did a great job.
My father has a 1955 Chevy bel air sedan with a 1965 327 with fuelie heads!
Tell him you want that car someday.
I love when you drive a classic
Me too!
Aww man, I love this Vette out of all the Vette's! That bad boy is fast!
love that vette a buddy of mine in the airforce had a 62 vette with the 327/340 4 speed, i got to drive it and man was that car quick
"And 1962 is the last year we had a wrap-around windshield, a solid rear axle....."
...2014 Mustang has left the chat
Such a gorgeous vehicle. Some of the most beautiful ever made in the US.
Beautiful car, beautiful roads, great insight on the experience. Thanks for sharing!
For pure beauty, nothing beats the '59. But for style and impact, the '69 is it.
You know when you are driving it, the gear ratio's are great, a real envolving experience, fantastic.
The best car line ever manufactured
What an experience! A bite like my MGB with the connection to the road and the slight feeling of heroics.
that 327 is BEAR. best smLL block chevys built. a friend back in the service had a 62 corvette 327/340 4bbl carb. 4 speed and that car wojulds fly. from a stand still in 1st gear it would fish tail untill you let up. my first time driving such a fast car and a vette now ive owned 10 vettes
Soo cool! ‘62 has always been a favorite year of Corvette for me!
This is more than a dream car, it's a pipe dream car.
I appreciate the owner of this thing for keeping it stock and not boomering it to death or turning it into a pimpmobile
Notifications gang
Yes
love the way you can see the hood stretch out all the way in front of you. so much presence .
Great video...loved seeing scenic Mass once again as a fellow Bay Stater...
As soon as I see one of these, I think of Tod Styles and Buzz Murdock cruising down the highways. going cross country, with their luggage strapped to the luggage rack. I can't believe you didn't even mention them, from the early 60s TV show, Route 66.
Do you even know of it ? I see nobody here comments on it .
OMG .... my all time favorite! Thank you so much for this 🤗.
my grandfather has a 59 corvette. Im 19 at about 6 foot 1 and it is an interesting drive. in short people were not very tall back in the day and having never driven it up until last summer i was not expecting what i got but it was a amazing experience and will try to convince him to daily it at his beach house when im there.
That bright red gorgeous interior.. those curves.. the chrome.. the muscle car exhaust… I am down bad for this car.
Gorgeous car along with gorgeous New England scenery.
I absolutely love the video and all the info in your commentary, im restoring a 57 c1 for a customer from start to finish, 283 fuelie matching numbers car completely
that sounds incredible! Can't wait to hear how it turns out
This is my dream maaan THANK YOUUUU
I had a 61 the summer I graduated high school and was instantly popular! I still dream about that car.
That idle is so mean🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
8:55 nice lil Mk1 Rabbit
This sounds throatier and grumblier than I anticipated too... I find these C1s fascinating. Love it!
Hustling one with that wheel sounds terrifying but good god as many have mentioned, for '62 that's insane. E-Types only had 260ish hp!
My friend is 6'1" and he said he could not drive this comfortably. He has a friend who as a 1959 Corvette. That said it is a beautiful car.
In 1963 I was in 6th grade. I had a buddy whose dad was a doctor and he pulled up to the front door at school one morning to drop my friend off. He was driving a 1963 corvette, fastback, baby blue, with the split rear window. I loved it
Well you pretty much nailed it about this C1. Straight inline speed. Those early Chevy front suspensions with king pins and drum brakes was nothing to brag about. I laughter when you compared it to a truck because thats how I always referred to these vetted. I prefer the C2 version with 67 being the best of all those years. It was a pleasure to drive and handled great and lets not forgot 4 wheel disc and 4 wheel independent Suspension. Beautiful car and thank you for the honest video.
Beautiful car! Nothing like the sounds of a corvette
love the exhaust I also like to see the chrome tips on those tailpipes emerging from the rear splash pan either way it's all cool yep when it was man and machine not a computer with power this power that I'm sure you appreciated driving this more than a new corvette everything appeals to me about this machine don't care for the newer ones they don't have this personality and charm like the older corvettes
Absolutely wonderful! Stunning car!
once upon a time in 1973 I Had a 1963 split window 327 corvette Gold a little old Lady went thru a stop sign and totaled it in December rain a week before Christmas it was a weird cold time in Texas, My mother caught Pneumonia in the 4 hours it took for police arrived and then allowed wreckers to move the car..
“Oh shit bar” lmao
Makes me appreciate my 2006 MX5 roadster!
No damn electric car will have that beautiful, wonderful and thrilling sound. PURE MUSIC.
I have heard about fuel-injected Corvettes. The sound that engine makes is awesome!
I absolutely love the look of this car🔥
ooo.. that 5.13 was the pick of the video...love that exhaust .. Nice one Ted..Be safe..
That tachometer is marginally useful. Sweet car
Yeah. You really have to stare at that tiny thing to see the numbers. At least it's not down by the shift lever like it was on some other GM cars of that era.
My friend had a 62 with dual quads .i had a 426 hemi 4sp. We traded cars often and the vette was so cool to drive
AWESOME ride. I loved it!!
So beautiful and sounds amazing.
Car from the 60's going 70mph feels like it's going 90mph. Modern car going 90mph feels like it's going 70mph.
Sounds so good!
What a gorgeous All American classic. One of the founding fathers of the concept and segment of sportscars.
Wow what a beauty! And that engine sound.
Oh man, that beauty sounds every bit as good as it looks, and I bet that torque & hp feels as good too. Lord, I wish I could own it. I'm now 60 yrs old........is it any wonder why many older gentlemen own classic sporty cars like these........it must knock 30 yrs off of their life while driving it. Thanks for the show and the ride along!!!
Man, there really is something special about these classics. Just nothing like it anymore! I used to hate these as a kid, now I absolutely love them hahaha.
This Automobile is a Lot of People's FAVORITE CAR OF ALL TIME 🤠🍿
Dream car
European here- your roads looks amazing and very well maintained, is it like this everywhere? In UK there is a pothole on pretty much every street.
Awesome vid man! 🔥
Great video thank you
