NO RESERVE!!!

RELISTED Again!!! 1st time Nova was sold but due to extenuating circumstances the deal did not go through. I decided to keep it. Next time buyer checked on shipping and decided it was too expensive. Unfortunately I really do not have room for it. Hate to sell as it is a blast to drive and everyone loves the car.

Wheels in pictures do NOT come with the SALE. Nova is being Sold with a set of basic steel wheels and used tires. This will allow you to put on the wheels you want. (I do have a set of ORIGINGINAL 14 x 7 Rally Wheels and Tires on another auction. If you win the car and the wheels I will put them on the car for transit to you)

1966 Chevy Nova Convertible. As most of you know The Nova was NOT available in a Convertible in 1966. This car started life as a base model 4 door sedan with a 6 cylinder and a 3 on the tree manual trans. That is it. It was made into a convertible and the rear doors were welded in. I have owned many muscle cars over the years but this car gets the looks. My kids still love it and do not want to see it go. I just have too much going on. It is mostly original paint and interior. The quarters are resprayed as the doors were welded in. It is a real cool car to cruise around in. It has so much potential to be whatever you want it to be. This body looks great as a convertible.

GREAT GAS MILIAGE!!!

NO Rally Wheels go with car. (Was receiving a lot of interest last time in selling the car without the Rally's so buyer could put on there own wheels). The car runs and drives great. Everything works except the horn (Works just not hooked up at the wheel), the speedometer needle seems to have fallen off but the odometer works, and the indicators work but the cancelation cam needs to be replaced as you have to manually cancel. There is an antenna but no stereo. It has guages in place of the stereo (Temp, Oil Pressure and Volts). The Nova runs cool and oil pressure is strong. Always starts right up. Has a new battery and voltage regulator. Trans is strong and the clutch is great. Has newer brakes. Carb was rebuilt.

Body: The body is in good overall condition. It is solid in the back and trunk. There is some rust appearing on the lower rear of the front fenders. The floor is a little spotty in places with some sheetmetal pieces covering a few holes. The nice thing is no hacking has been done to the floor at all. It has a very solid engine compartment all the way back to the cown. The inside where the front door hinges are is showing some rust. On the top below the windshield on the passanger side is showing some rust. Not around the window frame though. The body is not saging but I was going to go all the way and support it for durability. The person who made the car welded a frame conector on the drivers side. I was going to get a weld in pair of frame connectors and add a rear sway bar. This would cost a total of $200.00. The frame connectors are less than $100.00. The other side does not have one. The doors are solid with surface rust at the bottom. I have an extra set of front doors that are complete with windows and are rust free for the winning bidder to have 1st right to purchase at $100.00 for the pair. The hood and trunk are in rust free condition. The rear quarter emblems are no included (See pictures). The front LH fender could use a little work. I have an extra original that goes with the car. The front of the LH door has a little damage to the sheetmetal only. The grille is nice and the trim is in good overall shape. Bumpers have nice chrome with a few dings and 1 dent in rear LH side of Bumper.

I have done some research and some people add the tops from a earlier Nova convertible with the windshield header. I was going to lower the front windshield and make it a roadster/speedster style Nova.

Interior: The interior is mostly original. The dash is solid with no rust at all. Under the dash is solid as well. It has its original front and rear seat. The carpet has been replaced and seats recovered at some point. It has seat belts for 2 people in front. (Rear Seat Belts in pictures have been removed) Someone added a bar across the back of the rear seat. It is like an amusement park ride bar. Kids have a ball with it. The heater is not hooked up. I would assume it needs a core and that is why it was bypassed. The lights all work. Turn signals work, They do not cancel though. That is a manual process. The wiper switch operators the wipers but there are no arms or blades. There is no door glass or window cranks in the doors or rear quarter sections. As you can see in the pictures there is a strip covering where the windows would go on the front doors. They can be added. I have the fronts in the extra doors but nothing for the rears. I had not plans of putting glass in it. Too cool the way it is.

The steering wheel on the Nova has been changed out to a custom aftermarket one.

Trunk: The trunk is in excellent condition with no rust at all. There is no spare tire or jack assembly.

Underside: The subframe, front inner fenders, rear wheel wells and trunk area are solid with no rust at all. As well as the subframe rails.

Engine: Runs strong with no noises. Has a Flowmaster mufler so it sounds pretty cool. These 194 6's have a lot of torque. The heater is bypassed

Trans: Shifts great and the cluch is solid. I was going to get a hump and add a floor shifter to it.

Top: Well, There isn't one. The well area has a simulated boot on the back.

It would cost a lot of money and time to get to this point with one of these cars when you can drive this one the way it is or fix it up the way you want and drive it at the same time. These are not inexpensive cars any more to acquire.

Watch My listings as there will be 73-74 Chevy Truck Parts and more 70-71 Cuda Parts coming soon.

I am more than happy to answer any questions so please ask any questions before bidding. Also ask to bid if you have less than 10 positive feedbacks. Been burned too many times in the past. I will cancel bids with less than 10 positive feedbacks if you do not ask before bidding!

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. There are many transport companies out there. I have found that Uship is a great way to find a shipper too.

$500 deposit via Paypal is due within 3 days of end of the auction. Remainder due within 7 days via Cash in person, Wire, Cashiers Check or Money Order.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
