1970 Chevy Nova - Cheap! - Other Nova - Free Local Delivery on 2040-cars
Frankfort, Illinois, United States

Up For Auction is a 1970 Satin Black Chevy Nova Free Local Delivery up to 50 miles if needed... 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!

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
