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
