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. |

Star Wars Car Drives To The Dark Side Of Comic Con
Tue, Jul 22 2014When it comes to designing coveted collectible toys for sale at Comic-Con, the annual celebration of pop culture lifting off Thursday in San Diego, the sky's the limit for the designers at Mattel. Fittingly, the building where Mattel's dreamers conceive of their limited-edition playthings is just down the street from the Los Angeles International Airport. Inside the colorful design center - a Hot Wheels-themed shuttle bus transports employees from Mattel's parking garage - the designers have spent the past year working on 10 toys created especially for the Comic-Con crowd, including a replica of the Batmobile from the upcoming game "Batman: Arkham Knight" and a 9-inch-tall action figure of Superman killer Doomsday. "We don't have to worry about retail. We don't have to worry about margins," said Doug Wadleigh, Mattel's senior vice president of global brand marketing for boys and entertainment. "We don't have to worry about operational efficiencies. We only have to worry about creating the coolest toys for our fans. Period." It also offers some escape from Mattel's reality these days. Like other toy makers struggling in this digital, video-centric age, the company is trying to remain relevant in the retail world. Core brands like Barbie have seen less of a demand, with a 14 percent drop in sales in the first quarter of this year. Mattel had a net loss for the first three months ending March 31 that totaled $11.2 million. But things will at least seem rosier at Comic-Con, where eager buyers for the toys await (the only other place they will be sold is on the Mattel collector's site). Mattel's exclusives this year run between $20 and $85, but elite toys can fetch much more when they're put up for auction. The crown jewel for Wadleigh and his team this year is a Darth Vader die-cast car, the first official collaboration from Hot Wheels and the "Star Wars" franchise. The car - imagine if a Chevrolet Corvette C5 and the villainous Sith lord's helmet had a baby - comes in a sleek black box and encased in a replica of Vader's lightsaber, complete with a swooshing sound effect. "We've been trying to partner with Lucasfilm and Disney on this property for a long time," said Wadleigh. A full-size working replica of the Vadermobile will be on display at Mattel's booth at the massive San Diego Convention Center.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
