   This auction is for a 1971 Chevrolet Nova SS featuring a built 396(none numbers matching) coupled to a built 700R4 automatic trans and a 12 bolt posi w/ 3.76 gears. This car was completely rebuilt in 1985 and has been lightly driven since (weekend warrior) and has less than 10,000 miles on engine. Trans upgrade was done 1000 miles ago.The engine is a 1968 396 ,bored .030" has cast iron heads and a very lumpy camshaft. The motor was built by Russ Barfield in Hollywood Fl.The complete fuel system has been replaced in the last year , the ignition system was just replaced last week. This is a very strong running big block Nova!

  The brake system was gone through last year, as was the suspension. The car has power disc brakes up front. It also has power steering.

      This car has been babied since new, the current owner bought it from the son of the original owner while it was being refurbished back in the 80s.It is not clear whether or not this is a true SS although it is believed to be.What is known is that it started life out with a 350 under the hood.We have not found the build sheet which unfortunately is the only way to know for sure.

   The undercar is very clean, looks to be original floor pans, don't see any soft spots or rust. The trunk is immaculate. The only issues noted on the body are some rust spots in the lower doors,it does not look like any prior repairs were done in thase spots, and what looks like a "paint booger"near the RR taillight. . The quarters ,doors and fenders are all original sheetmetal.Other than the door issues the car is laser straight. It also has a fiberglass cowl hood on it. The paint job was done back in the 80s, still looks awesome but could use a good claying and polish.

   The interior could use a redo as it was done in typical 80s fashion. It is in good condition just not to everyones taste!

   I am representing the current owner in this sale , car is being sold due to health issues. It is being sold "as is" with no warranty. I suggest that if you are interested in the car to either come and check it out yourself or send an inspector. The car is as solid as can be, it has always been in good hands and any work done was by pros... this ain't no junk! If you have any questions I can be reached either thru email or call daytime at 954-782-2263 or evenings 954-401-3480 ask for Bob

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
