1962 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Marietta, Georgia, United States
Up for auction is a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette I am selling for a friend. He is not computer savvy and asked me to list it for him. Any and all questions will be submitted to him through me and he will supply the answers.
This is a 74,000 original mile car with less than 1,000 miles added after total restoration. * All new paint (see details below) * All new interior / exterior chrome * All new rubber * Professionally restored instrument cluster / interior * Completely new wiring * GM Performance Parts crate 350ci / 330 hp * TH 350 transmission *Jim Meyer Racing independent front suspension * Power rack and pinion steering * Ididit steering column * Front disc brakes * 15 inch leather wrapped steering wheel * Hidden radio / multi-disc audio system * New air conditioning - blows ice cold * American Racing Torquethrust II wheels * Michelin Pilot tires * Professionally restored drive shaft * All mechanical parts either new or professionally restored. * Two tops (hardtop painted to match body color) * Car featured at International Auto Show, Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, GA, 2012 (see photo) THE COLOR - yes, this was an original Corvette color offered in 1962. This particular car was painted Royal Heather Amethyst in tribute to the Tangier Shrine Patrol Corvette, one of the rarest production 'Vettes ever made. The Tangier Shrine Patrol was formed in 1957, in Omaha, Nebraska. The Shriners ordered between 11 and 15 identical Corvettes each year, through at least 1967. In 1962, Bunky Knudsen, head of GM's Chevrolet Division, allowed the Shriners to choose any GM exterior paint color for their special-order Corvettes, which were produced sequentially under one Central Office Production Order. The Shriners chose Royal Heather Amethyst, a metallic Cadillac color, for their 1962 special-order Corvettes. Only 13 of the 1962 Tangier Shrine Patrol Corvettes were ever built. The only surviving example which the owner of this Corvette has confirmed still exists was on display at the National Corvette Museum for a number of years, on loan from its owners. The owner of this car had one of the original 13 Tangier Shrine Patrol Corvettes when he was younger, and painted this car as a tribute to that super-rare Corvette. GOES WITH THE SALE: original wheels, original wheel covers, original steering wheel, original steering column (with gearbox), original front suspension (with discs installed and drums included), other various original parts. This is as close to a brand new 1962 Corvette as you can buy today. I submit that this is no finer one anywhere. No expense was spared in restoring this car. The owner has over $87k in actual verified records showing money spent on this car. All paperwork and documented receipts will go to the new owner. Reserve is far less and WILL NOT be disclosed so please don't ask. Reason for sale: seller is thinning out an impressive automobile collection, and has other vehicles on eBay now. Car located one mile off I-75 exit 265 in Marietta, GA. Seller will assist with shipping at buyer's expense. E-mail me to see car before bidding if you want. No trades, no scams. I have sold cars, trucks, boats, tractors, trailers, etc., on eBay and have the feedback to show that I am an honest seller. Bid with confidence. NO TRADES Jason On May-06-14 at 12:39:57 PDT, seller added the following information: Forgot to mention: custom-fit California car cover with sewn "Corvette" insignia goes with the car.

On May-06-14 at 15:52:10 PDT, seller added the following information: 5 new photos added showing undercarriage and top. Has a guy come by today and see the car, and he commented that the color looked even more amazing in person than in the photos. Thanks. --Jason On May-06-14 at 16:00:08 PDT, seller added the following information: See other photo here as shown on remarkablecars.com: www.remarkablecars.com/for-sale/showfull.php?product=31551&bigimage=chev-1962-057941.JPG |

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
