My Dad has decided to sell his 63 SS Nova Convertible. He has owned the car since 1984 and I think it has been in Nevada since new in 1963. We restored it about 14 years ago and rebuilt the front end, rear suspension, new TH350 with shift kit, new paint, new interior, new top etc. The suspension was converted to 5 lug and wagon springs used on all four corners with a factory sway bar. However, we reused the 327 that was in it but it only lasted for about 6 months. The car sat for the next 13 years, sometimes covered, sometimes not, sometimes garaged, sometimes not, but has been in a garage for the last six years. We just installed a new 350 to replace the 327. We also just installed a new radiator, new gas tank, new hoses, battery and cables, rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, and more to go with the new engine. The trans has about 4,000 miles on it and the engine has about 100 miles on it. Exhaust is 2.5 inches with Flowmasters. The folding top assembly had been restored right before we got it and all top metal pieces repainted and detailed. The car was repainted a deep Maroon with Dark Grey seats and carpet and a Maroon top. Even the spatter paint in the trunk was Maroon flecked. Dad fabbed a firewall support bracket that's in the trunk and just needs to be bolted back on. Wheels are 15 inch Centerlines. The car is in great shape and runs good. Unfortunately, the paint did not hold up as well as the rest of the car. It is cracking in some areas and chipped on all four corners of the hood. There is no material rust in the car but there is some bubbling in the paint on the lower driver's side quarter. The trunk has some scale but is solid. No rust in the subframe, rockers or anywhere else. This is a great, solid car that we've had for 30 years, but its time to pass it along to a new caretaker. Here are a couple pics and a link to many more. $500 deposit required within 48 hours of winning bid. Car can be delivered within 400 miles for gas and trailer rental costs. |

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
