I have a 1970 Chevrolet Nova project for sale.  I have the rebuild paperwork for the title, but haven't submitted it yet and am still in contact with the previous owner if more paperwork is needed to be signed to finish the Rebuilt Title process.  With that out of the way, I have a good condition 1970 Nova for sale.  Was originally a 307 with an Auto Column shift transmission.  Someone has installed a manual trans pedal assembly and cut a hole in the floor pan for a manual transmission.  I have a Th400 transmission with a TCI 2200 stall converter for it (used), and an almost complete 454 engine.  No transmission crossmember or proper driveshaft for that transmission.  I have a driveshaft that I will let go with it but am not sure it will work with trans and rear end.  I am not sure about what rear end it has, as I have not been able to find any identification on it.  It has drums all around on it.  

It has two factory rally's in the back and two newer rally's in the front.  I have a set of 15x7 wheels and tires that go with the car as well.  As well as a B&M floor shifter with a TH350 cable, no TH400 cable to go with.  No original seats for the car.  I have to high back bucket seats that go with it.  I believe they came out of a 1973 Grand Prix or similar GM car.

The 454 engine has been disassembled and was just about to get rebuilt, but have too many projects going right now.  I have the block (standard bore), crankshaft (standard rods and mains), stock pistons and rods, a set of good heads, factory 4 barrel manifold, factory rear dump exhaust manifolds, and a factory cam in the block.  The bores and bearing journals are in great shape and would be ready to put back together if someone bought a rebuild kit for it.  

The front and rear subframes are in good shape and not rusted out.  It will need a left rear quarter or fix the panel that is there.  I have two good doors that go with the car.  They just need to be changed out.  There is body rust on the car, but it is a very solid builder and should be treated as such.  

Previous owner attempted sanding on the car years ago and created nothing but surface rust where he didn't prime back up.  All the windows are there and in good shape.  One of the other doors has good glass in it as well.  Will need drivers side floor pan and passenger side front floor pan.  Trunk is solid.  Dash is in good shape, pad is cracked.  Engine wiring harness is still intact and so is all other wiring.

454 Engine Block - 14015445.  2 Bolt Main
454 Heads -  6272292 Oval Port Heads

I will post all the pics I am allowed and will get the cowl tag posted on here as well.  If you have any questions or would like to come look at the car, send me your number to seanmmacgregor@aol.com and I will contact you.  I can also text or email any desired photos to you.  I want everyone to be completely informed on what I am selling so there are no surprises when you show up. 

Thank you and good luck.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
