The 1967 marina blue Corvette Sting-Ray that once belonged to Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon who died this past August at age 82, has been purchased by a Florida collector, who is in the process of restoring the car to its original glory. Joe Crosby of Merritt Island, Fla., bought the coupe from a Georgia man in February 2012 for an undisclosed price. He initially placed it on eBay, where he said it drew offers of more than $250,000, but he changed his mind and decided instead to fix the car up.
