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.
