1972 Chevrolet Nova - Unifinished Project Car on 2040-cars
Harwich, Massachusetts, United States
I am selling my 1972 Nova. This nova has undergone an extensive
restoration over the last few years. I have put over 15,000 in new parts
and well over a 1000hrs of labor into this nova. Everything has been
replaced/repaired/ and upgraded. The end result was supposed to be a
high end tuxedo (black with white stripes) nova. The car originally came
from Pennsylvania. I brought to massachusetts in 2007 and have been
restoring her ever since. Sadly I just do not have the time to finish
it. Almost every piece of steel has been fully replaced or repaired. The
list includes new wheel wells, front quarters, rear quarters, trunk
lid, hood, rear cross rail, door skins, tail panel, trunk drop offs, rocker panels and
I'm sure there is more I'm forgetting. Basically all the metal is new or
completely rust free. The filler work is almost completed and it would
not take much to get her ready for paint. The floor was prepped and
coated with por15 and rubberized sound proofing.The frame was fully
removed, stripped and painted with the eastwood system. The
undercarriage was completely stripped and repainted. The rear shocks
were moved inboard to allow for bigger tires. The 12 bolt rear end was
removed straightened and tubes welded. A new eaton posi was put in. The
drive shaft is a new dennys drive shaft rated at 700hp with 1350 u
joints. The transmission is a restored 4speed saginaw. The engine is a
new 350 crate engine rated at 410hp-428torque. It is a 4 bolt main with
domed hyperuetectic pistons and a 500-510 hydraulic cam. The engine has a
march performance aluminum serpentine accessory drive system with an
edelbrock carb and aluminum radiator and electric fan. The firewall was
smoothed with new sheet metal. The front brakes were converted to disc
brakes and the rear were replaced with new drum brakes. The gas tank +
straps are new. New painless wiring harness which is wired just enough
to allow the engine to run. The steering column was replaced with a new
chrome ididit column. Has a new custom fully welded exhaust from summit.
Also have various new trim pieces. New door handles, mirrors etc. And
I'm sure there is a ton of stuff I'm forgetting.
On Jun-28-14 at 08:54:55 PDT, seller added the following information: To be clear this is an unfinished project car that does not drive (it does run though), and has no interior. |

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
