You are bidding on a 1962 Corvette, black exterior with red interior. These are the original colors. This is a hard top only car and has never had a soft top. The deck lid that receives the soft top has never been cut or modified. The car came out of GM as an original fuel injected 62. See photos of the original nut plate that was riveted to the inner skirt. Also the different location of the tachometer drive cable hole in the firewall.
This car has had a body-off cosmetic restoration. The owner had no intentions to go to Bloomington or NCRS. The frame has been blasted and painted, components rebuilt. The body has been stripped, repaired where needed, and repainted. It has new chrome, new weatherstrips, new interior, new wiring harnesses. It has been fitted with a 1985 Corvette TPI motor with a stand alone harness. An M21
transmission from a 76 Vette has been installed.
The car has not been physically modified in any way to install these components. Still has its original generator charging system, original expansion tank, original aluminum radiator.
The coolest thing about this car is that it can always be restored back to an original FI Corvette. I am listing this for a friend - I will answer all your questions that I can. The owners name is Mike - 269-506-1387. The car is located in Mendon Michigan and can be seen any time during the auction. Mike also has available 4 original hub caps, original radio for restoration, original deck lid cut out for the soft top latches, and a T10 transmission. He also knows where a complete 62 Vette FI unit is located.
This car is pick up only or you can arrange for shipping. We will be glad to help you.
Please do not bid on this car if you have no intentions of following through. This deprives other people from having something they really want.
Selling to the US only. Car must be paid for within 7 days of auction's end. A Paypal deposit of $500.00 is required at auction's end.
Own an iconic piece of history!
Thanks and happy bidding - John

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
