Just added to my items for sale on [tag]eBay[/tag]: four new [tag]Corvette[/tag] posters. I'm very happy to have a handful of these posters to offer for the holiday season, and while I usually don't promote my own products much - I am making an exception this time.

[tag]1961[/tag] Corvette Prints

The first is snappy little print of a 1961 Red and White Corvette parked outside a diner on Route 66. It looks to be in the southwest United States from the background. I couldn't tell what year it was since the early Vettes are similar in appearance. But the '61 has painted headlight rings and a little strip of trim on the edge of the side scoop. So it's a '61. In any case, it's selling well on eBay while supplies last.

The second '61 Corvette is a real piece of artwork by an artist named Robert Young (www.bobyoungprints.com). He creates some of the most amazing artwork for lovers of trains, planes, and automobiles. Mine were printed for a recent trade show, but they're very high quality.
The 1961 [tag]Chevrolet [/tag]Corvette in black is rendered in watercolor and is really stunning. Very high quality art and printing and suitable for framing. If you have a '61, or know someone who does, this would make a great gift. I have very few of these so once they're gone they're gone.

[tag]1963 Corvette Split-window Sting Ray[/tag] Poster

One of my personal favorites, this one is also created by Bob Young. The '63 Sting Ray was one of the most unique Corvettes with the unusual "split-window" design. It was the only year Chevrolet made the model and in 1964 it had a standard one-piece rear window due to safety concerns with the split version.

[tag]1974 Corvette[/tag] T-top

The final new [tag]Corvette poster[/tag] for my line-up is a yellow 1974 model with the famous removable "t-tops." This one makes me think of high school and the car I thought was just about the coolest in the world. Artist Bob Young captured the filtered sunlight reflecting off the front of the car with an amazing realism. This is another print that I'm very proud to offer. I'm offering all of these for a pretty low starting price and I don't have many, but you can get the prints on his website (for the regular price of $39.99) along with many other great vehicles.

The history of the Corvette Poster

I also offer this [tag]Corvette History[/tag] poster which I find fascinating. It has many of the important models through the years and represents most of the various generations of this great car.

You may have seen it on Seinfeld. And he owns the real thing. This is a very rare poster unavailable anywhere but here on [tag]eBay[/tag]. It features a [tag]Porsche Carrera GT[/tag] which were produced 2004-2006. The poster is much more affordable than the original MSRP of $440,000 USD.Production topped out at approximately 1250 units, with only 340 of these cars sold in the U.S. Famous owners include [tag]Jay Leno[/tag], [tag]Jerry Seinfeld[/tag], [tag]Tiger Woods[/tag], [tag]Ralph Lauren[/tag], and [tag]Thierry Henry[/tag].

Porsche began developing the Carrera GT in 1999 as a successor to the 911 GT1 car they had discontinued in late 1998. In addition, Porsche needed to free up capital and manpower for development work on the Cayenne, and dropping development of the race car made this possible.

Porsche did however produce one car, and showed it at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show to draw attention to their display. Due to the intense interest in the car, and cash now flowing in from the Cayenne, a decision was made to produce a limited number of road-legal cars in Leipzig. Porsche started a production run of Carrera GTs in 2004, shipping the units with an MSRP of $440,000 USD and a dealer invoice price of approximately $414,800 USD. In addition, the delivery charge could be as much as $15,000 USD. The first Carrera GT went on sale in the US in Jan 2004.

At first, a production run of 1,500 cars was scheduled. But Porsche announced in August, 2005 that it would not continue production of the Carrera GT throughout 2006. According to Porsche, this was because of changing airbag rules in the U.S. But word on the street was that the dealers simply couldn't move the cars, and many reportedly sold GTs for below MSRP. Even though production ended early, sales of the Carrera GT were a huge success, with worldwide sales volumes surpassing the combined totals of Ferrari's Enzo Ferrari, Mercedes' SLR McLaren, and Pagani's Zonda models.
As of May 6, 2006, 1,270 GT's had been sold, with 604 being sold in the United States.
