Rick Springfield walked back to his custom Chevy Corvette Sting Ray after grabbing some coffee recently.
Back in the 80's Springfield owned a Corvette just like this one but sold it because it lacked comfort and convenience. This new Corvette looks just like his old one on the outside but inside it's customized with modern amenities including cup holders, electric seats from a 2000 C-4 Corvette, GPS, iPod hookup, backup camera and an impressive audio system (so he can sing along to "Jessie's Girl" anytime he feels like it of course).
Rick Springfield sure knows how to run an errand celebrity style! He was seen with a handsome-looking Corvete Sting Ray in Malibu. Now that's a celebrity car!
Nothing says I could care less about this car I was given than putting it for sale on eBay and that's exactly what Kirby Puckett, former baseball player of the Minnesota Twins is doing with the 1961 Chevrolet Corvette. Sure he kept it for a while and had the manual transmission switched over to automatic but when you are a celebrity, why get rid of it? I'm sure there are plenty of other assets to sell off first. In my book this is a celebrity FAIL.
This interesting video features the host of The Smoking Tire, Matt Farah and the creator of the Super Speeders, Rob Ferretti. Rob stages a contest to see who could get a ticket from a cop and return to the exotic car garage the fastest. Matt takes him up on the offer and chooses his car. Maybe this is not such a good idea after-all. Check out the video below for the ultimate conclusion.
Here's your chance to own a great piece of Orange County Chopper history and it's not a bike. How about Paul Sr's personal Corvette ZO6 done up in his bad boy style? Outside of the black wheels and custom interior I believe the car is rather stock but they again who cares if it's stock when it's a ZO6!
But putting that aside, is he making room for a ZR1 or is this another millionaire not comfortable with the economy and liquidating vehicles? If so, looks like he has a whole lot more in that garage to get rid of!
