All numbers match.. never been cut up , misused, or modified in any way.. Everything works...Everything opens ,closes and locks.. One owner with 90k original miles...Garage kept all its life... Here's the story,,, This was my parents car that they bought new in 1972 at Luci Chevrolet in Vineland N.J.... It was ordered by me ( remember when you could order a car exactly how you wanted ? ) for them with minimal options.. I couldn't talk them into air condition because it cost about $250. more but I did get them to go for the tinted windows at $39. ..Cost new with options, power glide trans $169. power steering $100. body molding $33. AM radio $65. Vinyl roof $82. full wheel covers $26. W/W tires $28. vinyl interior $18. Tinted glass $39. undercoating was free.. .Total cost of $3,003 .. I have all original books, manual, emission control book, Chev. consumer info book, seat belt info book, finance contract from the bank, insurance paper and dealer order sheet from 1972...My parents both have been gone for many years... It was maintained religiously including in the garage washing in the middle of winter time with a bucket of water...At about 85 years old my mother ran into a car on the drivers side front fender.. Hood was not touched...From that time on the car sat in her garage as is because she was then afraid to drive.. She turned it over to my oldest son right before she died .. It sat in his garage for years as is until he needed the room for his new car.. I took possession of it a couple years ago.. I bought another '72 Nova and used the fender and grill parts to put it back together ( I have the side molding for that fender ).. Also put in a new radiator and gas tank .. It runs great and goes down the road nicely.. It is registered, titled, insured and on the road legally as an antique in my name.. The paint is mostly original but over the years my parents did have parts painted to fix scratches and dings but all matches and looks pretty good....There are some dull spots and some very minor surface rust spots that will probably buff off with a polishing compound.... About 30 years ago someone bumped it in the back and bent the rear bumper and the metal behind it.. It did not affect the trunk or the light... Tires are about 30 years old but hold air and have tread... Brakes feel good with no issue but have been on the car for about 25 years .. Muffler sounds like it is rusting.. There is rust behind the front and back wheels but floors are great and trunk still has the original speckled paint and jacking instructions.. I had plans of restoring it for sentimental reasons but my retirement and a Florida home have changed my priorities .. I very rarely run it other than a down the road and back about every few weeks... The last time I drove it it acted like it had cruise control.. Everything was perfect until I let off the gas and then it stayed at the speed I was going.. To slow it down I had to brake it or put it in neutral.. When you put it in neutral at highway speed it comes down to an idle so its easier to stop that way considering these old drum brakes on it.. That problem just started and I was told the kick down linkage may be rusty and sticking ... It will cruise up to 50 MPH ( thats about the fastest its ever been ) with no issue...Due to this cruise control like problem I do not feel comfortable allowing a potential buyer to test drive it.. I will test drive it for you for safety and my personal responsibility.. I think you will be convinced that this car is what I say and my honesty and integrity will not be compromised to sell it... Money is not an issue, its just that I don't want this car to sit and rust away when someone can give it a good home... Please check my feedback.. I'm proud of my 100%... Any question about this vehicle please e-mail me... I am not a professional mechanic or body work guy... All of what I describe is my own opinion or what someone has told me...I welcome you or your mechanic to inspect it.....If you win it and you can show me it is not as I described , you don't have to buy it when you come to pick it up, but please don't nit pick this 42 year old car because you changed your mind before even looking at it.. If your buying and transferring title without an inspection , the deal is over and it is your car... I don't think that I can be any more fair than that... I'm sure there are small things that I look at everyday on it that I just don't see because I've been looking at it for over 40 years ( kind of like you don't notice how gray you and your wife have gotten until you look at your old wedding picture,,, sorry honey ! ) ,, but please know I am not misleading you to unload a piece of junk !!!!!! If you purchase my car I want a $300. paypal deposit within 24 hours of the end of auction and the rest can either be 1 of 2 ways... a wire transfer to my bank or cash in hand... I will not accept any check of any kind for all or any part of the deal.... thanks for your consideration !!!!!!!!!!!!!

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
