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!

Car and Driver reveals spy shots of mid-engine 2017 Corvette

Thu, Jan 8 2015

Some news in the car world is perennial, and some is perennially wrong. Typically news about some upcoming mid-engined Chevy Corvette has fallen into the latter category, with rumors never yet generating a road car. This time could very well be different. Car and Driver has some exclusive photographs of what would appear to be a Corvette test mule with a mid-mounted engine. The car in question might look like a Holden SSV ute that's undergone some indelicate modification, but C/D editor Don Sherman assures that the bones of a C8 'Vette live within that crude bodywork. Sherman points to the closeness of the cabin to the front axle as clue number one of this car's mid-engine attitude, as well as the powertrain-sized space between the back of the seats and the rear axle. The roof and glasshouse are all clearly plucked from the current C7, and the gas tank filler positioned on the B-pillar is another huge clue. The buff book estimates that the mule points to a timeline for sale, even. Testing on this level could mean a mid-engined C8 ready for sale in as few as 20 months, or for the 2017 model year. Click over to Car and Driver to have a close look at this important set of spy photographs, as well as a rendering of what a finished C8 might ultimately look like

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
