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!

Nissan Leaf sets new November sales record, Chevy Volt drops again
Tue, Dec 2 2014When you talk to people in the plug-in vehicle industry, one theme you hear repeatedly is that the more plug-in cars that are out there, the better things are for everyone. One reason is that more EVs build a need for more public chargers, and more chargers mean more people see that plugging in is feasible. But there's still something to be said for old-fashioned competition, and in the sales race between the two long-running plug-in vehicles in the US, the Nissan Leaf is resoundingly beating the Chevy Volt for 2014. In fact, it won't be long before the EV's cumulative sales top the PHEV's. But that's a topic for another month. For now, we have the sales results from November. Unsurprisingly, Nissan set another monthly record (that is, the best Leaf sales in any November, the 22nd time in a row we've seen a monthly record) with 2,687 sales last month. That's up 34 percent over last November and up 35 percent year-to-date. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of electric vehicle marketing, said in a statement that, "Our 'Kick Gas' ad campaign and 'No Charge to Charge' launch in Chicago and Atlanta drove an increase in November Leaf sales. Even with gas prices falling across the country, consumers appreciate that the cost of driving a Nissan Leaf is still a fraction of that of a gas-powered car." Over on the Chevy side of the ledger, there were 1,336 Volt sales last month, down 30.4 percent from the 1,920 sold in November 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 16.4 percent and Chevy has sold 17,315 Volts in 2014. As we said last month, the Volt slump might be due to people waiting on the new version to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show next month before going on sale in the second half of 2015. So far in 2014, Nissan has sold 27,098 Leafs. Look for our detailed post of US green car sales in the near future. Until then, please discuss last month's Leaf and Volt sale in the comments, below.

GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore
Thu, Mar 12 2015General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:
