1962 Chevy Ii Nova Convertible on 2040-cars
Willow Springs, Missouri, United States
Here's a story of a lovely lady..... Granny was the original owner and owned this car until 1988. It was barn kept by her son until 2001. I purchased it and drove her occasionally for about 8 years. I began restoring her in 2009. All metal on the car is solid or brand new including floors and fenders. 194 in line 6 Engine and 3 speed (on the column) transmission was rebuilt about 1200 miles ago. All new interior including seat belts with "Body by Fisher" plates on them, new paint (original color/polar white), and complete new mechanical parts all around including steering, suspension, and brakes. all new wiring under the hood including a refurbished original generator (no alternator). This car is totally original all numbers match. I've got parts in the trunk, some duplicates/extras... some need installed on the car. It still needs a few things done here and there including new exhaust, weatherstripping, post rubbers and felts on doors (some parts in the trunk). Passenger window is off track but does go up and down as you can see in the pictures. visors need re-done, antenna needs installed (I have it) hydraulic pump for the top needs hooked up (top does go up and down manually as seen in pictures). There is one small ding in the driver side near the windows but not very noticeable, needs driver side sill plate, and new heater core. Other than those few imperfections and unfinished things, she sure is pretty, and very fun to drive. Very smooth running. I have become sick and had a few surgeries and lost a lot of work and clientele. Time to find this old girl a new home where she deserves to be kept and finished properly as I am unable to do so. The winning bidder will save our family from serious financial difficulties and help us live a bit more comfortably. My loss is going to be your tremendous gain as I already have $20,000 into this beauty. Please come see this car and drive it before bidding. I do not want any unhappy third owner of her. She may not be a show car, but sure will treat you right while you drive her around town or in your local parade. Clear MO title (Originally from PA but was covered or garaged its whole life). Please email with any questions or to set up a viewing, or text me 417-two5two-43two6. No reserve. Car is for sale locally for a set price and could go before auction end. $500 deposit via PayPal at end of auction balance in cash at time of pick up. Will hold car for ten days after auction end unless other arrangements are agreed upon. Should be trailered, but can be driven home! I can pick you up at either Springfield Branson airport for $75 or St. Louis airport for $175 if you want to drive her home. I am located in Willow Springs MO 65793.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
