History of the car to the best of my knowledge:
The original owner of the car was from Alabama and he was incarcerated back in the late seventies. Vehicle was stored in a warehouse with the rest of his belongings, until he died in prison in 2002. His family members divided his belongings and his daughter inherited it and then sold it to an older gentleman in Georgia (He was 60 years old in 2002), registered it as an antique vintage vehicle and drove it only a few hundred miles a year. I bought it from him last year and registered it in Alabama as a Vintage car as well.
Numbers Matching car (Original Engine/ Transmission)
Low original mileage (26K miles)
Original Interior
Original wheels, hub caps, and wheel trim.
Original Carburetor.
Always used 93 Octane gas in it
The vehicle is always been registered as an Antique Vintage vehicle since it came out of storage in 2002, limiting the mileage and usage to a few hundred miles a year. It has also been insured by American Collectors insurance company in the amount of $30,000. The car has always been started and driven occasionally to keep it in a running condition. Always been Alabama and Georgia Vehicle, never been north. Paint is glossy as you can see in the pictures but during storage, the car wasn't covered, so you will be able to see scratches, paint chips, etc when you are close to the car. Front speakers are in-op, tried to replace them but I cracked the top dashpad in the process, so I left it as is.
FAQ:
Q: Any frame rust?
A: No, Frame is free of rust. Got to see undercarriage to appreciate.
Q: Any rust on the floor panels?
A: No, the floor panels are made of fiberglass in the 1974 and older vehicles. So no rust, and no chance of rust in the future.
Q: Headlights go up and down? Low beam/ high beam work?
A: Yes
Q: Wipers work?
A: Yes
Q: I live in x State, that is about xxx miles away from you, can I drive it home?
A: I would drive it anywhere. Tune up is recommended before thousands of miles trip.
Q: Is the car in perfect condition?
A: Car is in good original condition, but don't expect a brand new 39 years old car, and don't expect a fully restored car, car runs and drives with no major problems but you may need to take care of minor issues like o'clock in-op, hazy taillights, and some guage lights in-op. Be realistic about what you expect and Please don't bid if you don't know what you getting yourself into.
Q: Does the car have a title?
A: Alabama State like many other States registered the cars before 1975 and never titled them. You will receive current Original (not a copy) Alabama Registration, and a bill of sale. If your State requires titling, then you will get a title issued in your name when you take the documnets to the DMV/ tag office.
Q: Would you consider trades?
A: No, I need the cash.
Q: What is the MPG?
A: About 18 MPG.
Q: Can I use it as a everyday car?
A: It would make a good everyday car, a good collectable car, or it can be used as a good platform for a nut to bolt restoration.
All welcome to come take a look and test drive the car.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have to the best of my knowledge,

Peter Max staring down $1M lawsuit over Corvette collection sale
Wed, Dec 17 2014Pop artist Peter Max recently sold off his collection of 36 vintage Chevrolet Corvettes – one each from 1953 to 1989 – for an undisclosed amount. The new owners have already announced plans to restore some of them and auction the models off sometime soon. Up until then, the sports cars had been languishing in various garages around New York City for decades and were caked in dust and grime. However, Max's end of the transaction has just become more complicated, because two men are suing the artist claiming he employed them to complete the deal first. The men allege that Max hired them to broker the sale of the 36 Corvettes in exchange for a 10-percent commission, according to the New York Post. They claim to have emails and text messages proving the existence of the deal, and are taking Max to court for $1 million over the squabble. The collection of Corvettes was amassed in 1989 as part of a prize package from the television network VH1, and Max bought the cars from the winner intending on using them for an art project. He never got around to it, though, and parked the sports cars around New York, until he finally sold them over the summer.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
