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

Forgot to mention: custom-fit California car cover with sewn "Corvette" insignia goes with the car. Also, this car has a BRAND NEW soft top that was professionally fitted to the bows by an expert Corvette restorer. Still has the tags on it. Thanks for looking.

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

The Jitterbugs somersaulted at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show for the Chevy Nova

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Judging by the vintage videos that the Chicago Auto Show has been uploading, if you wanted to check out the latest vehicles and watch some dancers in the same place in the late '80s and early '90s, then the Windy City event was definitely the place to be. We've already seen the Footlockers pitching the Cavalier in '88 and a troupe of women singing about the Geo brand in '91. Apparently, the trend went back even further, though. Just take a look at this group called the Jitterbugs selling some badge-engineered products from Chevrolet at the 1986 show. Flanked by the Chevy Nova and Spectrum, these guys managed to do a few pretty impressive jumps and somersaults but mixed them with some rather uninspired spins, as well. Also, wait for 1:24 into the clip to see the least enthusiastic backup dancers that the world has ever known. The Jitterbugs are even further proof that Chevy's habit of mixing dancing and its vehicles goes back even further than the Volt.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
