I am the second owner and have had this vehicle for over three years. I seem to only be able to keep a vehicle for about two years, then I'm looking for something else.  Every time, however, I start to list this car, I go for a drive and chicken out.  There is no way to have another car with this kind of experience!  With the top down, hearing the supercharger and exhaust makes it difficult to want to turn on the stereo (which sounds phenomenal). Here is a summary of this car;

I bought it from the original owner in December, 2010, on Ebay.  The car had 1900 miles on it and now has approximately 17,500.

Optional equipment includes;

Shaker 1000 Audio system

I have all receipts and paperwork for this vehicle, since new.

The original owner purchased the following aftermarket items;

“Shelby” map light accessory

Shift boot trim (billet) (I don't like this trim piece and do not have it in the vehicle, but I did include it in some of the photos)

Cup holder trim (Billet)

Dash Plaque (Autographed by Carroll Shelby w/cert of authenticity)

Shelby GT500 sill plate (2)

Shelby GT500 license plate frame (Billet)

K&N intake and aircharger

JBA exhaust w/Shelby tips

I have done a couple things to the car since I've had it;

Diablo Sport Programmer/Tuner (to be included with the vehicle).  The car was then dyno-ed at 500 HP and 472 Ft-Lb @ the rear wheels. Although this was a lot of power, I grew use to it and wanted more.

I installed sound insulation in the trunk and rear quarter panels, as the bass from the stereo caused a metal vibration sound only noticeable when standing outside of the vehicle.  The insulation took care of this issue. 

The original owner purchased Super Snake wheels and tires that came with the car when I bought it.  Personally I like the original wheels, so I kept the OEM and sold the aftermarket wheels.  I rolled that money into the engine and purchased;

Smaller supercharger pulley combo with idler

Afco Heat Exchanger

NGK spark plugs

Shelby Hood Struts (replaces hood prop)

The car now has 597 HP and 624 Ft-Lb @ the rear wheels, which is more than enough.

This car has never been raced and only adult driven.  This car will get away from you if you're too heavy footed, so you really have to drive it (which is one of the reasons the original owner sold it and one of the reasons I love it so much).  My favorite part of driving this car is getting on the freeway; that is pretty much the only time I let it run out, as I do not need a ticket.

Although it has 17k miles, it still looks great and has no door dings or curb marks on the wheels.

I replaced the tires about four thousand miles ago (Yokohama AdvanSport) and a new battery 03/13.

This car is not my daily driver and I pretty much only drive it when it is top down weather.  Additionally, I only hand wash it.  I will include the convertible boot cover and car cover.

Imperfections;

In my attempt to park as far away from anything in our garage, I brushed against the garage door and scraped the paint on the right front bumper (shown in photos).

There are a couple rock chips on the hood over the left headlight and two small rock chips on the driver side door.  I attempted to photograph them, but they’re difficult to see.

Finally, there is a small chip taken out of the vinyl stripe on the hood, by the right side windshield washer (the white paint is not affected).

I have described everything I can think of.  I am a man of my word, and my feedback reflects it.  If you do not have 100% positive feedback, or NO feedback, you need to contact me prior to bidding. I know the market and what this car is worth.  I am starting the bidding at 33k, which is the minimum that I will even consider, as I do not need to sell.  I am not interested in any trades.  There is no lien on the vehicle and I have title in hand.  This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time.

I have more photos available upon request.

Thanks for looking,

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years

Wed, Jun 25 2014

A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
