This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette has been modified with a 327ci (5.4L) V8 rebuilt under prior ownership and equipped with an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold, four-barrel carburetor, and Pertronix electronic ignition conversion. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch throwout bearing and 3.23:1 differential. A DeWitts aluminum radiator and Spal electric cooling fan help manage engine temperatures.

The body was refinished in red in the early 1990s and features a body-color removable hardtop, white soft top, quad taillights, and backup lights. The car rides on a Jim Meyer independent front suspension system with tubular control arms, QA1 adjustable coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, and front disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors. It also has 15-inch American Racing wheels with 215/70 Goodyear Assurance tires and rear air shocks.

Inside, the Corvette features black vinyl bucket seats, red carpeting, Vintage Air climate control, American Autowire chassis harness, Custom Autosound stereo with Kicker kick-panel speakers, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror. The three-spoke steering wheel frames Dakota Digital RTX gauges including a 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, and readouts for fuel level, coolant temperature, battery status, and oil pressure. The digital odometer indicates 1,500 miles added since the gauges were installed.
