Frame Off 1967 Marlboro Maroon Corvette Coupe 427/390 w/ "4 Season" Factory AC







This is the real deal, and a real opportunity to own a real classic that been meticulously restored to its original glory.  I cannot express the thrill of turning the key and firing up the big block 427, or the torque as the clutch is released and the gas pedal is pressed down – nothing I can do could create that rush but I will try to link a YouTube video so you can at least hear it.

The car is near perfect – and it is without doubt the cleanest one I have ever seen and while it has never been shown or judged to prove its excellence and presence, at least when you do and it does win the trophies, ribbons, plaques and certificates it will all be YOURS and not someone else’s!! 

This color is near impossible to photograph and capture it’s true essence as it changes in different light and the time of day but the clear coat is deep and shiny like the chrome. This frame off restoration of this Texas car was completed in 1993 with the coachwork done by Bob’s Big Boys Toys in Victoria Texas and the machine work completed by Dave at the vintage experts in Austin Texas with “The Cylinder Head Shop”.

The reality of offering this magnificent car here on eBay is to get lots of visibility – and start any dialogue, questions and answers and provide documentation and more pictures and of course  inspections.  It is not our intention to create a museum quality advertisement or educate everyone on the history of the Corvette or how rare or special this last year of the C2 is and how rare the combination of options from the factory are – if you know these cars you will know what you want to see and what questions you want answered.

Regardless, I have included some key pictures below that can be enlarged in groups of about 24 that capture many highlights of the perfection to detail and quality of the finish that puts this car in the hunt as a true find and treasure.  The current owner is my close personal friend as was the previous owner his brother who is no longer with us.   I have known them for 30 years, and you will learn of the roots in Texas history that this car came from all the way back to the original owner that did not make it home while serving his country in Vietnam.  Yes, kind of like a Private Malone story.

In addition I think it goes without saying that we have all the pre and post restoration pictures and receipts that I have tried to attach below in the eBay listing but will also provide a link on shutterfly.  The title is here and clean, the original owners manual and build sheet, all the receipts with details on the parts and machine work done and more.  All the numbers match on this car with over $30,000 in receipts in 1992 and only 100 miles since.  The engine was removed and rebuilt (details available) and the factory options both common and rare and included

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
