There's more than one way to get a full-zoot Vette in your garage.

One way is to build it yourself.

A quicker way is to buy it already done.

Starting on January 7th, you'll have your chance to bid on this one--and take it home if you're the lucky high bidder!

Thanks to the U.S. Marshals Service, this Corvette is going up for bid on January 7th.

Here's the info from the Marshals/GSA website. (Sorry if its all caps, but just imagine an old-school

Town Crier standing on the courthouse steps belting this one out.)
