Driving The 1962 Chevrolet C1 Corvette Fuelie - Fuel Injected 327 Hot Rod! (POV Binaural Audio) 

What's your favorite Generation of Corvette? Be sure to hit that Bell for Notifications! Thanks for watching

Tedward's really going on a streak with the classics here 💪

360 horsepower in 1962!!!!!!! This thing is THE business

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.

Geared really well for the torque curve on these cars! They go faster than I ever would have thought for sure!

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.

Ah, the classic Corvettes were such beauties 👌

Its just satisfiying to watch someone driving in pov..

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

Car from the 60's going 70mph feels like it's going 90mph. Modern car going 90mph feels like it's going 70mph.

I had a 61 the summer I graduated high school and was instantly popular! I still dream about that car.

That's living its bring tears to my eyes and yes a grind on my face. It's by all my favorite corvette year

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!

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 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

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.

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.

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. 🙂

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

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

Not many sounds as iconic as the small block Chevy.

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!

That gauge cluster is awesome, as is the rest of this car!!

Love these old muscle cars. Bring on more muscle!!!

The best car line ever manufactured

*That binaural audio really gives a pov its character* 😍

Thank you for the Thrill Ride!

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🥰

What a beautiful car. One of chevys very best. I would do a modern interpretation of THIS car if I were chev.

I love black-on-red for early-mid 60s Chevies - absolutely crazy color combo but it looks so tough

This little beast rips it man. The torque is unreal but driving it in those narrow roads was scary.

Got a 58’ two tone prowling my neighborhood on the regular. Such a beautiful car. Chevy styling was on point in the mid fifties.

That bright red gorgeous interior.. those curves.. the chrome.. the muscle car exhaust… I am down bad for this car.

That car is a work of art.

For pure beauty, nothing beats the '59. But for style and impact, the '69 is it.

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.

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!

Wow, that's a car to die for. I have a 67 Camaro with a just rebuilt 327. Quite snappy.

"And 1962 is the last year we had a wrap-around windshield, a solid rear axle....." ...2014 Mustang has left the chat

That V8 burble is just the business. As an American, just the best sound.

Soo cool! ‘62 has always been a favorite year of Corvette for me!

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

Love it! I can almost smell the exhaust fumes. Well done!

I love the natural sounding exhaust with no computer adding fake burps and pops.

We need more Corvettes

Aww man, I love this Vette out of all the Vette's! That bad boy is fast!

My father has a 1955 Chevy bel air sedan with a 1965 327 with fuelie heads!

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.

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 .

Sounds like she’s got 4.11’s out back. Love it!

3:56 that fiberglass trunk sounds like a boat! 🚤

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, beautiful roads, great insight on the experience. Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate the owner of this thing for keeping it stock and not boomering it to death or turning it into a pimpmobile

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.

Forgot to mention you are a true honest guy man , much love for everything

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..

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

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!

Such a gorgeous vehicle. Some of the most beautiful ever made in the US.

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

I love when you drive a classic

My 1961 is my daily driver for the last 62 years 500 hp.

The 327ci was one of the best engines Chevy made and is still around to this day---block size anyway---called the 5.3 as used in their pu's!!!

This is more than a dream car, it's a pipe dream car.

Imagine cruising down route 66 in that back in the day

OMG .... my all time favorite! Thank you so much for this 🤗.

You know when you are driving it, the gear ratio's are great, a real envolving experience, fantastic.

No damn electric car will have that beautiful, wonderful and thrilling sound. PURE MUSIC.

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.

Beautiful car. I’m not sure what’s scarier - the bias ply tires or the drum brakes? Neither is enough for that car and so many like it throughout the’60’s (at least).

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!!!

Absolutely wonderful! Stunning car!

This is my second-favorite Corvette in history, after the (in my opinion) perfect C7 Z06, and the one I’d have if I could afford one. I’d also have a ‘65 coupe with C5 Z06 drivetrain, suspension, etc., as long as we’re speaking hypothetically, haha! In a fuel-injected four-speed car, I bet the owner knew he/she wanted the quickest one around and ordered it with 4.10s (I assume they were available in ‘62), especially given the shift points you were using. Quick car for damn sure. Those old hot 327s were some of the best sounding and freest revving motors around.

love the way you can see the hood stretch out all the way in front of you. so much presence .

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.

ooo.. that 5.13 was the pick of the video...love that exhaust .. Nice one Ted..Be safe..

I remember this car and drove one. The Rochester injection unit only had two problems. One. Nobody at the dealership knew how to deal with it. Second the fuel nozzles plugged up because of lack of good fuel filter. But it kicked ass and actually gave unbelievable gas mileage. The first units were in the 1957 models. Including the 1957 Bel-Air. My favorite Corvette was 1967. I drove many of them. I worked in a Corvette shop and most customers let me have them on the weekends. I didn't like the early cars . I'm tall and I was staring at the top windshield bar . And it drove like a buck board. Lol

Wow, what a beauty! I love me a '62. Buzz and Todd liked them too. 😁 I have a low miles C5 Z06 and a couple C3's. I love driving the Z but my '73 stick shift car always puts a big smile on my face. It is not as fast, doesn't handle as well, isn't as comfortable but there is just something about rowing through the gears of an older car that can't be duplicated in newer ones. Maybe it's a bit of that "driving a slow car fast" thing, maybe the nostalgia of my youth, maybe just the rawness of it. I was born in Vermont and moved out west in '88. I love where I live but boy, do I miss driving around those country roads of New England. And what better way to do it than in a classic Corvette with the top down!

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

Great video...loved seeing scenic Mass once again as a fellow Bay Stater...

Gorgeous car along with gorgeous New England scenery.

AWESOME ride. I loved it!!

Beautiful car! Nothing like the sounds of a corvette

What a gorgeous All American classic. One of the founding fathers of the concept and segment of sportscars.

Back around 1963, I owned a '59, 283, three speed Corvette. Then I saw this same car on a lot and I sweet-talked the salesperson to let me take it out for about 30 minutes. I never have had so much fun. My test drive was a maroon '62 with the 327 + fuel injection and it was fast!

That has a " close ratio " most likely a Muncie gearworks - most likely model M-22 gearbox . First gear is close to in between 1st and second, and every gear thereafter is closer together. You can hear a bit of gear whine that those gearboxes made.... Very cool

I absolutely love the look of this 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.

11:34 to 11:44 Wooo! shift; Wooo! shift; Wooo! shift; Wooo!😃

I have a 62 Hardtop only They made about 200 of them No big clips on the soft top cover or holes cut out.'Im the 2nd owner got it in 65 when i graduated HS. Also a Factory 4:56 rear end.

So beautiful and sounds amazing.

For a vehicle in the early 60's, it is quite powerful compared to a 327 engine, of course, corvettes have always been strong :)

I was hitch-hiking south of Chicago on my way to my girlfriend’s house on a Sunday, in 1963. That same black Vette w/ red interior rolls up and stops to give me a ride. It was a friend of mine and he’d stolen the car off a dealer’s lot - the keys had been left in the ignition ! He took me to my girlfriend’s house…later he picked me up and gave me a ride home, gassed up the car and returned it to the dealer and we never heard anything about it. It was an awesome car. We were 15 years old - too young for a driver’s license. No crash; not even a scratch.

Actually I think your steering is worn. The steering was actually tight when new. Steering gets loose and sloppy with age on those old cars.

What a ride! 👌😎The last year of that bodystyle. Such a great car!
