My wife and I originally bought this car from Alabama in hopes of making it a back-halfed car.  Unfortunately when we received the car, we decided that it was much too clean of a car to chop up!

So instead we pulled it apart, had new full quarters put on because some idiot cut the wheel lip off.  The motor was removed to allow us to soda blast the motor compartment.

Inside both doors and jams, also around the windows / front and back were soda blasted to bare metal.  There was absolutely no rust anywhere to be found in those areas.

The floor boards, the trunk pan, the undercarriage of the car are almost perfect! 

The doors open and close perfect and they have new felt and weather stripping.  Trunk opens and closes perfect, also has new un-installed weather stripping.  It was left off so you can see how clean and rust free that area is.

The interior of the car, along with the carpet and headliner are in very good shape.  You will need to get a new dash pad, as this one has cracks. 

The motor is Small Block Chevy, we were told that this is the original motor, we obviously have no clue if that's true or not.  We don't know if anything was done to the motor, as this is exactly the way we bought it.  However it starts right up, has great throttle response and sounds a little beefy but probably stock.  The Nova also has power steering.

Ok, now for the unfortunate details we need to list.

The lights have a mind of their own!  Everything worked, turn signals, lights, brake lights, when we got the car.  However, since the car has been sitting for about 8 months after putting it all back together, now only some of the things work, of course when they want to!  I assume it's just a ground wire somewhere.  Like I mentioned before you will need a dash pad and dash light bulbs.

The tires are just rollers, they hold air, but are junk.  The rims are in ok condition only.  They look better in the pictures, then they look in person.

The car can probably use a new back bumper.

The rear end I believe has a spool in it which means that every time you turn the car it makes a chirping noise from the tires.  Because both tires are turning simultaneously.  Obviously when you are going straight it is perfectly fine.  Some people like having it, some people don't. 

With all that being said, I am sure there may be a couple small things that might have to be fixed that we did not mention, but I think we listed everything.

Once again, you are looking at a very nice, very clean 1970 Nova. 

Fresh Satin Black paint with a good running motor.  The car has great looking interior and it is very structurally sound.  However, this is not a perfect car, so expect some imperfections, along with things that may need to fixed or changed to your liking.

The car is being sold with a notarized bill of sale from Alabama, because Alabama does not give you a title when you purchase a car made before 1975.  I can assure you, that you will not have any problems.  That is just the way some states operate.

We are selling the Nova with a very low reserve, we think you will be extremely happy with the car, especially for what we are asking for it.

This car is being sold locally and we reserve the right to end this auction at anytime.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will be more than happy to discuss any details with you.

Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode

Fri, Apr 17 2015

MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

GM recalls half-million full-size SUVs to address seatbelt issue

Tue, Aug 16 2022

GM is recalling its redesigned full-size SUV models to address improperly riveted mounts securing the third-row seatbelts that may fail in the event of an accident. The population includes the 2021-2022 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, 2021-2022 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and 2021-2022 model year GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, for a total of 484,155 vehicles. "Operators at the supplier’s manufacturing plant may have not properly followed manufacturing processes and inadvertently missed the rivet forming operation," GM said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In certain of these vehicles, the rivet that retains the buckle to the mounting bracket in the left or right side third-row seatbelt buckle assembly may not have been properly formed during the manufacturing process. If the third-row seatbelt assembly is not properly riveted, it may not properly restrain occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury." Fortunately, the fix is relatively simple. GM service technicians will inspect the rivets on the rear seatbelt buckle assemblies and replace the entire unit if the rivets are not to spec. Dealer notifications have already been distributed; owners should receive notice start in September. Related video: Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Ownership Safety SUV
