 This is my other car I'm selling to thin out the heard. It's a 1972 Chevy Nova that I've owned for 13 years and it has been a joy to drive. I'm just downsizing and not selling the car to get rid of because of problems. Car runs perfect and handles excellent. Custom bodywork and paint done by the legendary Sam Foose and rubbed out by Jake of the Overhaulin show. Paint is 6 years old and looks like it was painted yesterday. There is ZERO rust on this car anywhere. The motor is a 383 Stroker with a Turbo 400 transmission that was just serviced. Lots of power yet very streetable and sounds great. This is one of my cars that I do drive everywhere. Other features on the car are custom buckets up front with a custom rear seat to accommodate the roll bar. The roll bar has been modified to make it easier to get in and out. Interior includes sound absorbing material throughout with brand new black carpet. There is a custom console that Sam Foose also built that handles the B&M shifter with line lock button in the handle. 12 bolt posi rear with 3:90 gears. New aluminum radiator with electric fan and K&N air filter. Motor was built for Nitrous but I've never used it in the 13 years I've owned it. Power Steering with upgraded SSBC disc's up front with drums in the rear make this car stop on a dime. New wheels and tires. 225/50/17 Nexen tires on 8x17 Chrome American Racing Wheels on all four corners.  Front sway bar and frame connectors help keep you on the road. Hooker Super Comp Jet Hot ceramic coated headers, front lower air deflector, radiator brace filler and a drive shaft loop round out this beauty. As a touch for the people that worked on the car, the glove box door is signed by Chip Foose with one of his free hand drawings and by his infamous dad, Sam Foose also.

Look at the pictures of the roof and you can see the reflection of the trees with great detail.

So if you are looking for a car to do a lot of work on, keep looking. This car is complete and needs nothing but a driver and a good home.

And if you want any other pictures of the car, just ask and I'll get them to you.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
