Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end early.

You are bidding on a great example of Chevy muscle car history, the 1972 Nova. The 1972 was arguably the last of the "good" years and certainly collectable. This vehicle began its life as a bare bones 6 cylinder automatic, still retains its original early 70's classic green on green color combo. The miles indicated are just shy of 45000 and said to be original, I have the original owners manual, sales literature and vehicle inspection form. So what we have is a very solid classic Nova with great ownership history that has recently been mechanically upgraded to a serious 500 hp sleeper. Still retains that Sunday driver look with black wall tires, steel wheels and a bench seat and only the most observant would notice the 3" exhaust, deep sump oil pan, traction bars and of course that big block sound. Description as follows:

Interior: Factory original combo of bench seat, column shift automatic, still retains the original working AM radio and factory original steering wheel. Does have a set of aftermarket gauges mounted under the dash. Overall interior condition is excellent, all gauges, lights, speedo etc. work properly.

Exterior: One repaint to its original code 48 Sequoia Green. All exterior chrome and trim in nice shape. 15 x 7 and 15 x 8 steel wheels on new radials and chrome center caps. Body in very nice condition, minimal nicks or chips. Nicely detailed trunk area with spare and jack assembly.

Mechanical: Early 70's 454 casting # 361959, built to 496 cu in. and approx. 500 hp according to prior owner. No dyno sheets to prove the horse power but based on a "seat of the pants" opinion, this car pulls awfully strong. Edelbrock air gap aluminum intake, 750 cfm Edelbrock carb. Extreme high energy cam, Lunati valve train, Moroso 7 qt. oil pan, HEI ignition. Transmission is a TH350 tran with stall converter. Posi rear end with 4.10 gear. Full 3" flow master exhaust with tail pipes, incredible sound! Very nicely done engine compartment with vintage style dual snorkel air cleaner. This Nova starts, runs and drives very reliably on pump gas, heavy duty radiator, absolutely no overheating problems. No smoke, no leaks, totally turn key, just get in and go.

Please take the time to review all the pics and dont hesitate to call with further questions; 517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed MI dealer.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
