Ex–Pikes Peak 1962 Chevrolet Corvette 327/360 Fuelie 4-Speed offered at online auction by Repo Vehicle Holdings. Bank-sourced car with a clear title, VIN history report, no buyer fees and a 30-day return window. Open bidding with the full bid history visible.

This 1962 Chevrolet Corvette fuelie was initially sold new by Daniels Motors of Colorado Springs, but was promptly traded back and campaigned by dealer owner Al Daniels in the July 1962 Pikes Peak Hill Climb race, finishing third. The racing equipment was removed, and the family retained the car until 2019, when it was sold and relocated to Florida. Subsequent work involved rebuilding the fuel injection system, distributor, and generator, and replacing the exhaust manifolds, exhaust system, plug wires, spark plugs, fuel tank, fuel sender, and fuel lines. Records indicate that RPO 276 15×5.5″ wheels were purchased for the car in June 2023 for $16,500.

Articles from the time period said to show the car, and other cars the Daniels competed with, are provided in the gallery along with photos of a 2022 article about the car in The Corvette Restorer. Service records from Daniels Chevyland extend into the 2010s.

The car was originally painted Almond Beige and was refinished in Fawn Beige under previous ownership. Exterior features include a body-colored hardtop, split chrome bumpers, a Daniels Chevrolet dealer badge, color-matched coves, quad headlights, and bright-finished trim. Blemishes are shown up close in the gallery. There is no soft top, and the exterior side mirror was reportedly removed for racing and never reinstalled.

Replacement 15×5.5″ steel wheels featuring a body-color finish and dog-dish hubcaps were purchased in 2023 and they are wrapped in US Royal nylon bias-ply tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drums.
