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

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
