Up for your consideration is my '62 Corvette. This car has never been off it's frame and drives accordingly. Those who know, once they have been "off-frame", they just don't drive the same. Once you take this car for a ride, you will see exactly what I am referring to. NO rattles, shimmy, squeaks... just a smooth and quite ride. The transmission shifts with one finger, the clutch is perfect and the rear end makes no strange noises. It looks like the car has been off it's frame by the attention and care taken to bring it back to showroom fresh underneath. The floors are beautiful white fiberglass and the detail and correctness is second to none. Will please the fussiest of buyers. Frame stencil, paints daubs, oil filter canister, shifter, and on and on. All correct and all driveline components the car was born with. This is NOT a "put together, find the right parts, numbers matching car". Everything in the drivetrain was put in at the Factory.
The car starts, drives, stops, accelerates, exactly as it should. An absolute pleasure to drive. EVERY SINGLE ITEM ON THE CAR WORKS! Yes, even the wipers, washers, Wonderbar radio and original clock(not a quartz conversion). Anyone who has owned a straight axle Corvette will appreciate what it takes to make that happen! This Corvette is a very early production(#139) so has many characteristics of a '61 such as unpainted rocker moldings, drain plug on Posi, low temp water gauge, different side inserts on front fenders. It is a very correct car from the T-3 headlights to the taillight wicks. Capable of an NCRS Flight Award without a problem if you so desire. Brand new date coded top, first year of the vin stamped on the transmission, original wheels (the spare tire board sits flat because of this), dated wiper motor, correct "O" stamped valve covers, Dill 627 valve caps on the wheels, correct scissor jack and wrench, radio condensers, carb & tag, generator tags, NOS 781 horn relay, bolt markings, clips, harness ties,... nothing overlooked.
I bought the car a little over 7 years ago from the second owner who was a friend of the original owner and he said the car had never seen a drop of water, only dusted and spray waxed. If you look very close, in person, you can see the bonding seams throughout attesting to this car never being hit. There are no cracks anywhere. The paint and finish is show quality with great lines and gaps. All doors , windows, locks (Briggs & Stratton keys) are perfect. Very, very unusual. I took the valve covers off when I got it to verify numbers on the heads, which DO match, and the engine inside is absolutely brand new so I am guessing it has been gone through somewhere along the line. It runs like it has been rebuilt right down to a fully functional automatic choke.
As you can guess, this is not your average eBay Corvette. It can be a very high quality driver or you can simply trailer it to shows. Either way, it will not disappoint. I have all the casting numbers, date codes, & part numbers if you need any, I have the owner's manual, clock instructions, Owner Protection Plan Book and window sticker (which appears to be a reproduction). Please ask questions. The only dumb ones are the ones not asked. The car has always been kept in a climate controlled garage and is the 2nd to last of my liquidated collection. It's that time for me. I have driven the car 327 miles since I purchased (how ironic) 7 years ago. The Title says 54,961 "actual miles".
Please take this Auction seriously, as I do. Continental US Bidders only please. Negative and low feedback bidders please do not bid, contact me first. I have the right to cancel any I see not fit. Cash, check or wire transfer is fine but car and Title will not leave until funds are cleared to my account. I welcome inspections and I have a lift if you would like. Contact me for a time but please do this before the Auction is over, not after. I will respectfully keep my Reserve private and let the Auction run it's course. The car is not for sale anywhere else and I intend to let it run to the end. Thanks for looking and good luck. Ray

Kurt Busch suspended indefinitely after losing appeal
Sun, Feb 22 2015NASCAR has officially suspended Kurt Busch indefinitely after he was found in violation of two specific clauses in the stock racing rulebook, specifically "Actions detrimental to stock car racing" and a "Behavioral Penalty." Earlier in the week, the State of Delaware issued an Order of Protection from Abuse against him after a case detailing alleged domestic violence committed by Busch against his girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, reached its conclusion. Busch and his legal team have exhausted all of their appeals options, meaning the indefinite suspension is official and final. Busch will not take part in the Daytona 500, which kicks off the 2015 NASCAR season today. Regan Smith will drive the No. 41 Stewart-Haas Chevrolet today at Daytona. It's not yet clear if Busch will face criminal charges over the domestic abuse incident. A Commissioner for Kent County in Delaware found that a "preponderance of evidence" led him to conclude that Busch did indeed commit "an act of domestic violence" against Driscoll, but that is a separate matter from the police investigation into the incident that is now in the hands of the office of the attorney general. NASCAR INDEFINITELY SUSPENDS DRIVER KURT BUSCH Daytona Beach, Fla. (Feb. 20, 2015) -- NASCAR has indefinitely suspended driver Kurt Busch for actions detrimental to stock car racing following the release today of a supplemental disposition setting forth the findings and conclusions that formed the basis for the Family Court of the State of Delaware's decision on Monday to issue an Order of Protection from Abuse against him. Busch, driver of the No. 41 car, was found to be in violation of: • Section 12.1.a: Actions detrimental to stock car racing • Section 12.8: Behavioral Penalty "Given the serious nature of the findings and conclusions made by the Commissioner of the Family Court of the State of Delaware, NASCAR has indefinitely suspended driver Kurt Busch, effective immediately. He will not be allowed to race nor participate in any NASCAR activities until further notice. "Kurt Busch and his Stewart-Haas Racing team are fully aware of our position and why this decision was made. We will continue to respect the process and timetable of the authorities involved."

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
