THE COLOR: yes, it's an original Corvette color. This 1962 Corvette Resto-Mod was painted Royal Heather Amethyst in tribute to the Tangier Shrine Patrol Corvette, one of the most rare production Corvettes ever produced. In 1962, Bunky Knudsen, head of GM's design division, allowed Omaha's Tangier Shrine Club to select any GM color for their special-order Corvettes, of which 10-15 were ordered directly from GM each year. In 1962, the Shriners chose Royal Heather Amethyst, an original metallic color offered on Cadillac models. Only 13 of the 1962 Tangier Shrine Patrol Corvettes were ever produced under central office production order ("COPO"). The only original surviving example of these models was on display at the National Corvette Museum for a number of years, on loan from its owners. The owner of this Corvette owned one of the original Shrine Patrol Corvettes in 1966. Not knowingly its rarity, he soon traded it for a GTO. He chose to pay homage to the original Shrine Patrol Corvettes by re-creating the original one he had "way back then" in this car. See "The Corvette Black Book" for more information on these ultra-rare 'Vettes. GOES WITH THE SALE: original wheels, wheel covers, steering wheel, steering column (with gearbox), front suspension (with discs installed and drums included) and many other original parts. The owner has documented receipts showing over $87k spent on this car. You can own it for far less. Buy it and enjoy it or take it to Barrett-Jackson and sell it for $100k+. All documents and paperwork goes with the car. The owner has a file 5 inches thick of records and receipts documenting work performed. NO TRADES. Car located 1 mile off of I-75 exit 267, Marietta, GA. If you want to schedule an inspection before bidding, use "contact seller" through eBay. I will assist with shipping anywhere in the world after payment made. RESERVE WILL NOT BE REVEALED SO DON'T ASK. I have sold cars, trucks, tractors, boats and trailers on eBay over the last 15 years. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. Good luck. Bid to win on one of the finest no-expense-spared '62 'Vette in America. You WILL NOT be disappointed. |

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone 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.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
