1966 Nova Wagon that i have owned for many years and has seen many different looks.

This has been a 3 year project with the help of 2 great friends that are mechanical genius and master auto painter.
The nova was original brownish gold, then went to a white and then decided this car needed a ground up since Wagons have become so popular. Decided to paint it 2005 Chevrolet SSR Aqua Blur, a beautiful blue that changes color in the sun...a translucent paint.  

Everything on this car is either new or rebuilt..no short cuts taken. Car was taken down to a shell and was painted as if it came from the factory this color...interior and dash also.

Nova has power steering, power disc brakes, FACTORY AIR and power windows.
  1. Paint is 2 stage paint using only PPG paint and Clear. The clear coat is the better clear that helps block the ultra violent sun rays...both about 500.00 a gallon and there is about 3 gallons each on this car.
  2. Motor is a 383 stroker with 525 hp.
  3. Flaming Rivers front rack,tilt collum and steering wheel.
  4. Wheels are Weld 15x6 front-15x12 rear..with Hoosier Tires front and rear.
  5. Ford 9in rear with 410 gears and posi-tract.
  6. Chevy 350 turbo with B&M Shifter.
  7. Interior is all new, everything.
The list could go on and on, just some of the nice details about the car.
I do have most receipts for the build and lots of pics.

The body is laser straight and of course no dents or dings....perfect alignment of body panels and all doors open and close as they should...Paint is a 91/2 +..would give a 10 but have found 2 imperfections..small but there. Very fine small scratch on tailgate, very hard to see..easy fix and one spot on the fender, very small and you have to look to find it. I am very anal about my cars so i might be a tad picky.

The motor was custom built, it is all forged, alum heads and used nothing but the best in building this motor.

This car has custom made tinted side and tailgate glass that matches the color of the car. It is legal in all states and has the sticker in the corner of all glass. It is real glass not a tint job with film. I do have the original glass that comes with the car. 

Hard to describe what all has been done to the car, but i used nothing but new parts and if you ever did a ground up you know what i mean and what is cost to build a car. I hate to admit but with the cost of the car included i have over 55k invested and there are always more things i could do but had to stop..lol

I am a retired truck driver and cars are my passion, car was built to drive and have fun at local car shows. Car has never been abused, never raced and my wife will tell you they get better attention than her..lol

I will look at trades but you pay the cost both ways.  62-65 nova, 48 anglia , late 50's Cadillac, ssr or corvair spyder.

If you have questions feel free to write, i have left tons of stuff out. If your looking for a clean ,straight Nova that will perform with the best of them and want a great show car or just for cruzin this is her.

Full payment expected with in 7 days of auction close, $2000.00 with in 24 hrs of auction end by pay pal.

Forgot to add that it does come with a ton of extra parts, most all of the original parts i took off, original bumpers, extra hood, new stock radiator, new complete set of brake lines, all the original glass and tons of other stuff.

Thanks again.


On Feb-09-13 at 19:25:38 PST, seller added the following information:

4900 1966 nova wagons were V8's...this was originally a true v8 wagon when new. This also is the deluxe just had more trim that the regular 6cyl wagon..Tailgate window crank has been removed, tailgate glass is powered also.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online

Wed, Jun 25 2014

Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.

Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt have best sales month of 2015

Tue, Jun 2 2015

Things are trending upwards for the two best-selling plug-in vehicles in the US. Both the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf had their best sales month of 2015 in May, with the Volt selling 1,618 units and the Leaf moving 2,104. The upward swings come at an interesting time, with lots of excess first-gen Volts waiting for buyers and some buyers already ordering their second-gen Volts. So far in 2015, the Leaf has outsold the Volt 7,742 to 4,397. While 7,700 Leafs is respectable, it's nowhere near the numbers that Nissan will have to hit to reach the 50,000 annual sales that CEO Carlos Ghosn says is possible in the US. Still, the Leaf had its best sales month since December 2014 (when it sold 3,102 units) in May, but last month was still down 32.5 percent compared to May 2014. Despite the smaller overall number, May represents a big positive for Chevy, which has seen sluggish sales for the Volt for a long while now. The 1,618 Volts sold last month are only 3.9 percent lower than the 1,684 sold in May 2014 and May 2015 was the best month for Volt sales since August 2014. Perhaps salesmen are ready to make deals, what with thousands sitting around on dealer lots right now. The next-gen Volt is due this fall, and the order books (in California, at least) opened up this week. Like every month, our full wrap-up of green car sales in the US is coming soon (the VW e-Golf, for example, hit a best-ever high of 410 sales).
