This is a rare 500 sedan, 3 owner, original low mileage, no rot, complete car that I purchased form the second owner 15 years ago, who happens to be a life long friend.. It was originally owned by a woman from Newport, R.I. She sold it to the care taker of her estate. It was stored in her very clean and dry garage for many years after she stopped driving. She sold it to the caretaker in the early 90's. He drove it for about a year then stored it in his barn with intentions of restoring it. He never did. As such he sold it to myself in 1998. I bought it with the original paint intact, except for one minor accident to the front drivers fender-frontend. the fender, hood, and front end were painted. I have photos from the day I brought it home showing it's original paint and near perfect interior. I had it restored with a full bare metal paint job, including, trunk detail, 5 steel wheels, and interior gold dash and door tops painted as well. The windshield and back glass were removed, cleaning minor surface rust and resealed and replaced. Everything in the interior is original and in near perfect condition, except the new carpet which was put in replacing the 500 trim rubber floor coverings. All is in working order, including the gauges, AM radio, horn, lighter, heating, et. The engine is original, never overhauled, complete, detailed with all original components, including distributor, starter( rebuilt), alternator(rebuilt), fuel pump, carbs(rebuilt)with tags. I have numerous receipts of parts and services to get the car in it's condition it's in today. Complete tuneup, springring battery cables, new NOS coil, thermostat bellows, sending units, exhaust, shocks, rubber suspension parts, new gas tank and sending unit, wheel bearings, speedo cable, et. Transmission is original and serviced by Cotrofelds in Vermont. This is a show winning, magazine featured, beautiful car that was awarded Gold at the 2012 CORSA convention in Sturbridge, MA. Making it a senior class car to be judged with the best of the best. Since I have owned it, it's never driven in the winter and barely ever driven in the rain. I have put less than 6000 miles on it in 15 years. Always garaged, (HEATED). I've never washed the car in 15 years! It's only been dusted, polished and detailed. Included in the sale is an extra set of Kelsey Hayes steel wheels I purchased from the Corvair junkyard in PA., with like new Goodyear Radials and a set of 4 original Chevy Mag wheel covers, along with the like new whitewall radials currently on the car. Will not separate! A $1000 value alone. I am selling the car due to lack of interest in the hobby. I have recently sold other cars from my collections as well. The winning bidder will have to PayPal a non-refundable $500 deposit immediately upon purchasing the car. This auction can be canceled at anytime as the car is also advertised on Craig’s List. Transaction types allowed are bank-to-bank wire transfers, US Postal Money Order, PayPal, or Cash. Cashier's checks and money orders are too easily counterfeited - Sorry! You may contact myself, Kerry (seller) at 401-230-2669 with any additional questions you may have. Thanks and good luck with your bidding!

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
