Where do I begin ? I've owned this Nova for nearly 12 years and in that time it has sat more then anything due to slow shops and other projects. The previous owners did a nice job overall with the car and the drive train had less then 5k at the time I purchased it. I drove the nova here and there as purchased until the rear end went out. Orignally the car had leaf springs and air shocks so I had a reputable shop go through the rear end with new axles a detroit locker w/ 4:30 gears ladder bar suspension and added a 8pt cage. Only took 3 years to get the Nova back and alot of cash but it was done right. I enjoyed the Nova for less then 6 months and a few hundred miles when I decided to upgrade the Nova again. I commisioned a Body shop to pull out the drivetrain shave the fire wall rebuild the front end and do paint and body work. After depositing half for the work three years go by when I get a call the shop is closed and the Nova need to be picked up asap.I dropped off a running and driving car only to get the Nova back in pieces. Over the last two years since getting the car back I've only had the time to get the Nova to where you see in now in the pictures. The Big Block 396 and turbo 350 is in.I freshend the motor with new gaskets and paint oil pan and oil pump. I left the long block alone after a careful inspection as it has less then 6000 miles and ran great. I would estimate HP around 350-375. The Hooker ceramic Headers are new as well as the electric water pump and pullies. The March billet powersteering pump is used. Holley 700CFM Doublepumper is new. The 350 trans shifts smooth but hard so I left it untouched.The firewall was shaved and the subframe blasted and painted.The front suspension consist of Gobal west upper and lower control arms QAl adjustable coilovers.Unisteer power Rack and pinion and a Hellwig 1 1/8 swaybay.CPP 13 inch Big brake kit with dual pistons calipers and CPP master cylinder and proportional valve.That's over $3000.00 in front suspension& brake parts. Ididit polish tilt column,billet steering wheel with adapter and half ring all new $1000.00. Not shown but included are the hood fenders and inner fender wells. The paint is far from show fair at best but will still shine after a coat of wax. There are dings and scratches and a few rust bubbles by the back bumper and bottom fenders. Floorpan will need a patch on the drivers side toe board.The last pictures shows a pair of 31x18x20 Mickey Thompson tires that sell for nearly $1000.00 they will only be included in the buy it now price.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
