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.

Chevy teases next-gen Volt at fan event in LA

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Barely two months before its planned debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, Chevrolet has released yet another batch of teaser images of its second-generation Volt. Unlike the first image, though, which just showed the car's rear badge, there's a lot more to this quartet of shots. The first three images show off the nose of the next-gen model and come from a fan event in Los Angeles. What we can see is a sleeker front end, with an evolution of the silver grille inserts previously seen on the original Volt and Spark EV. Gone is the current car's split upper grille, in favor of a more conventional arrangement. The sharper, more angular headlights are also an evolution of the lamps seen on the current Volt. Chevrolet also took the opportunity to announce a new location-based charging system that uses GPS to adjust the vehicle's charge settings, including the charge level, while also announcing that the next-gen car will feature more intuitive charge indicators that will be better able to inform owners of their car's charging level. The tech will mean that the Volt 'knows' when it is parked at home, and can thus automatically optimize charging for off-peak times, and so on. Take a look at the teaser images at the top of the page, and then head below for Chevy's press release announcing the new features. Next-Gen Chevy Volt Offers More User-Friendly Charging 2014-11-20 GPS makes charging more convenient Portable charger is easier to access Intuitive visual cues show charge status DETROIT – If there's one thing Chevrolet Volt owners love about their cars, it's being able to recharge the battery easily. Evidence of that is a U.S. Department of Energy study that shows more than 80 percent of all trips by Volt owners did not use the range extender. Chevrolet has made the charging system in the next-generation Volt even easier for customers to recharge the battery – and to check the charge status. The next-generation Volt debuts in January at the North American International Auto Show. "Chevrolet used the real-world experiences of today's Volt owners to make the charging process simpler and more convenient in the next-generation Volt," said Andrew Farah, chief engineer for the Volt.

GM posts $4 billion third-quarter profit thanks to trucks and SUVs

Thu, Nov 5 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is posting huge third quarter numbers, pulling in $4 billion in profit over three months after losing money due to the virus outbreak. GM's adjusted earnings were $2.83 per share, easily outpacing Wall Street's per-share projections of $1.43, according to a survey by FactSet. Revenue of $35.5 billion also edged out most expectations. Shares jumped almost 6% before the opening bell Thursday. The company swung back from a $806 million loss in the second quarter, when it was restarting factories shuttered for safety during the early stages of the pandemic. The Detroit automaker joined most global automakers in reporting better-than-expected earnings from July through September as sales across the globe started to rebound from coronavirus lockdowns, especially in China. GM sales in China jumped 12% in the third quarter, with sales of its Buick and Cadillac brands both rising more than 25%. In the U.S., GMÂ’s most profitable market, sales fell 9.9% in the third quarter compared with a year ago, but were a dramatic improvement over the 34% drop in the second quarter. Sales improved sequentially each month, the automaker said, an encouraging trend. GMÂ’s profit was boosted by higher-priced pickup trucks and large SUVs, which have seen strong sales in the U.S. through the pandemic. It was the best quarter on record for GM's Chevrolet Blazer. Sales of the Cadillac XT6 spiked 45% in the U.S. over last year. Large pickups also sold well. GM also said it was pumping $2 billion into its Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing plant to push its transition to produce electric vehicles. Last week, crosstown rivals Fiat Chrysler and Ford reported strong third-quarter net income. FCA said it made $1.4 billion for the period, while Ford earned $2.39 billion.

GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]

Mon, Oct 19 2015

UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.
