I've decided to part with my '69 Nova I've been working on. I found this car as a legit barn find in northern California about an hour from my home. I knew as soon as I saw it, it was a perfect candidate for a build. It hasn't been on the road since 1983/84 and was very solid. It's a roller so no engine or trans. The car comes with almost a full set of trim and all of the glass except for the windshield. The window regulators are in excellent shape and fully functional. The glass is not cracked or delaminated. No front seat, but the rear bench is intact. The dash cluster is dirty but complete and has the controls for the heat/vents. The doors are extremely solid and have zero delfection in the hinges whatsoever. Other than shopping cart dents and door dings, the body is in original shape and currently in dark gray sealer after have been stripped with 120 grit. There is zero evidence or any noteworthy collision as the doors, hood, and trunk all retain crisp, original gaps. They all open and close perfectly. The hood gaps and latch are perfect. While there are many simple dents, the car will not require and further panel replacement and most importantly has NEVER had any bodywork or filler applied to it. What you see is exactly what is there. I have completed the following metal work:
New Goodmark full floor pans
New Goodmark rear tail lamp panel (original was cut for custom lamps-yeah)
New Goodmark right, lower quarter panel patch
New Goodmark upper dash panel at cowl
Left quarter patched over wheel arch (had two small bubbles)
-rt front inner fenderwell has typical battery damage. Needs replaced.
INCLUDED- is a CPP front discbrake kit which includes forged dropped spindles, calipers and bracets, dust shields, power booster, and master cylinder. The kit is used with approx 100 miles on it. It is vey clean, boxed and ready to install.
All panels have been etched primed at the seams and seam sealed with Kent 6000 products. The car is now completely rust free other than a small spot on the front edge of the hood and the rt fenderwell (batter acid damage). I had planned on a Goodmark hood to replace it. The trunk floor has some minimal discoloration and some very minor pitting, but does not justify a pan replacement. The roof had some small spots where corrosion had begun, but will not require anything more than metal to metal to make prefect. The car is originally a V8/auto/10 bolt car. The 8.2 10 bolt is still there as well as the multi leafs. A clear CA title is in hand and all fees are paid. The subframe in the car is in perfect shape. It doesn't have any scars from being towed or damaged. I don't think it's ever left the body. The car steers and rolls on 4 good rollers. It's the perfect builder to take from here. The dirty work is done. It's ready for body and paint! This is one of the best 68-72 Novas anywhere for a launch pad to build a pro touring, drag, copo, yenko, or SS L-78 car. I take the collector car hobby very seriously and only deal in what I feel are the best original cars I can get. I also take ebay seriously so please only bid as if you intend to buy. Thank you for looking and happy bidding. Please feel free to call me for any questions you ay have. 96-300-09 nine nine. Dave

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
