You are looking at one of my many cars that I will be selling on ebay. I am selling my collection of cars due to personal reasons. Within the next few weeks I will list my other 70 Nova, 73 Scamp, 49 Olds, and many more. This Nova is a 1966 Clone SS. It has a 283 engine with a 3 speed automatic. Engine was completely rebuilt with many performance parts including a B&M power charger/super charger. Engine, trans, rear work great. Rebuild job has less than 3000 miles on it. It has dual exhaust with flow master mufflers, but there are no tail pipes installed and never were. It has Cragar wheels, like new tires, 205-70-14 in the front, 245-60-14 in the rear. It does not have power steering or power disc brakes. Overall the paint looks great, however there are small chips on the paint of the right side roof behind side window, (I just noticed and did not even touch them up), on the left side same place the paint has some some light bubbles, there are small bubbles on the left rear bottom rocker panel, and slight paint wear on the deck lid. Rear shield has a few sand paper marks in it, but it is not too bad and hard to notice. Both front fender are new however every once in a while when you make a sharp turn hitting a bump, the right fender with scrape the tire. The left used to do the same but I had it adjusted. I never got around to do the left because it does not rub all the time and it does not damage the fender or tire. There are also some slight imperfections on the right side of the hood, that could probably be sanded out and buffed. The hood is fiberglass. I have attached pictures to show the areas that I am describing but these areas really don't look that bad and you must realize that this car is not a perfect show car, so these issues did not bother me, however I as always try to over-disclose everything. From a slight distance the car looks great. The inside overall is decent, however the headliner is original and is white, it also has two holes in it where I think at one time a mouse ran in and out of it. Either way it should be changed to red. Seats looks good as well as the carpet. The door panel are Ok, however they got warped from dampness where the car used to be stored. Eventually you should replace them. The left door hinge pin is starting to get loose and eventually it should be replaced. The underneath of the car over all is decent. It has a good fuel tank, trunk, shocks, frame rails, however it does have some rust areas that I just noticed on the lift, but none of the areas are in a serious place. I've attached some photos of the underneath to show the spots. At one time the floor was refinished from the inside and they did not finish the underneath surface to match. The spots that are bad (again the spots are not in a safety area) are easy fixes. I just got a price to fix the spots correctly and professionally from a auto fabrication shop and he quoted me a dollar amount not to exceed $500.00 to make it perfect. Again I am not really worried about these areas that much to fix them, but if somebody was making a show car they could easily repair the areas at a low cost. The floor panels are solid and this car is not a complete rust bucket, it just needs to be finished properly to be a show car. The area you see on the underneath of the drivers side floor was replaced on the inside of the car , however whoever replaced it did not cut out the underneath to cover it correctly. As you can see, I am attempting to list every and all details about my car so that there is no surprises. The miles on the odometer read 29840, the title reads 126,350, the car will be sold with miles exempt. This car at one time was a automatic on the column, then had a clutch and now is a automatic. As seen in the pictures the clutch pedal was never taken out, so you can take it out or leave it in, in the event you install a stick shift. This car turn heads every where it goes. It sounds great, the 283 engine screams of power and it is fast and it looks as good as any other clone ss that is out there driving by. It is certainly not perfect, but if you want a clone nova ss for a decent price, this is the one. The car could be driven home, but I would recommend towing it, especially if you are going a distance, because of the low gearing. The speedometer works, but it is not accurate. The car is being sold AS-IS. It is located in Coal Township, Pa 17866. Buyer will be responsible for shipping costs and transfer fees. A $200 deposit is required at the end of the sale. I prefer cash or paypal, but I will not release the car until the paypal money is cleared into my account. If you are the purchaser, please be prepared to pay for the car. Please do not come to pick the car up and ask me to reduce the price. I have over-described this car so that I am not hiding anything so there should not be any surprises. When you physically see the car the surprise you should see is that it looks pretty good. Most of the problem areas that I have described would have been missed by the buyer. My son has just put this car on you tube, while we were taking it for a ride. When I get the links I will list them or you can request me to email to you. Thank you and happy bidding!

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
