1962 Chevrolet Chevy II (Nova) 300 Series 3 Seat Wagon Survivor First Year
Rarest of all Nova's. . . first year Chevy II 300 series 8-pass. station wagon with the extremely rare third row seat option, offered only in 1962 and 1963. Original one-owner California black plate car that I bought and drove back to New York 4 years ago (some photos included here are from the trip home from California). 132,000 miles on it, which appears to be actual. Car is currently being driven, so mileage will increase. Car is completely original, never been hit, and everything is solid and straight. Front fenders both previously repaired above the headlights, a common area for corrosion on these cars. The bottom of the tailgate also has corrosion, also common on these cars. Dings and chips to be expected for a 52 year old car, but all of the sheet metal is original. Paint touched up over the years in spots with a paint brush, apparently by the original owner. The left front fender and right side rear door both have a slight crease in them. The chrome on the bumpers is weathered. Sub-frame is solid. Still has factory red-oxide primer on the underside of the floor; never undercoated. Floors in good shape, with the exception of a small spot under the driver's and front passenger's feet, where floor and firewall meet. The driver side has an old repair. The passenger side still needs repair, which is a very easy fix. Rocker panels are straight and solid. Front seat is covered due to wear. Rear seat fabric is in very good condition. Third seat is nearly perfect. Door panels are factory fresh. Dash paint is almost perfect, as is the dash pad. It has a replacement carpet. 194 cubic inch 6 cylinder, air cooled Powerglide, manual steering. Engine taps; likely a valve lifter or something along those lines. Drove it home from California like this with no problems. Good oil pressure, runs great. This rare vehicle is ready and roadworthy enough to be driven anywhere without concern. Brakes all rebuilt, New rear axle bearings and seals, steering has some slop and will eventually need attention. 5 new Firestone whitewall tires. Car will be sold with its original black California plates and dealer plate frame. Comes with a New York State paper registration slip, as titles were not available for model years prior to 1972. Original owners manual and service receipts will go with the car. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me (Charlie) at 516-242-7505 during daytime hours or 631-929-4970 during evenings/weekends, or send me a message. |

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super 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.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
