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!

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown
Wed, Jan 29 2014They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
