Hello all, this is my 1966 Chevrolet Nova 400 or/and Chevy II. This is an original 283 V8, two speed powerglide car. The VIN indicates: 1: GM, 16: V8 Chevy II Nova, 69: 4 door 6 Passenger, 6: 1966, W: Willow Run, 

MI.  Pretty rare for a 4 door.  Although now it now has a 280hp 330 Ft. Lb. 305 in it with a "K" case TH350 3 speed trans, Lokar shifter and 8.2 10 bolt. PLEASE: Serious BIDS only.  Call Jeff with any questions or 

before bidding so we can talk business, 951-764-5573. The engine is worth $5000 alone.  This is a drivers car; something you can drive everyday, not worry about door dings, scratches and such.  If I were to keep this 

car, which is possible, I'd suicide the rear doors, lower it, put bigger wheels and tires on it, TCI front clip, etc.  This is very fun car to drive, it even gets 18-22 MPG when you're not on it: thanks for looking.


As for the engine, we picked a Performer Edelbrock cam and intake combination. Part numbers: 2102 cam and lifter, and 2104 intake. We chose some flat top pistons with 10.2:1 compression. I spent about 12-14 hrs

 on the heads, bowl blending and getting them to look like CNC machined heads. These heads have 1.86 intake and 1.5 exhaust valves and fabricated valve covers. Felpro gaskets, king bearings, stock crank and pink 

rods. An aluminum radiator, spal electric fan and a Flex-a-Lite 17,000 GVCW trans cooler keep this thing cool. There is a 600cfm Holley vacuum secondary carb on top with an Innovate wideband for ease of tuning. I would recommend a wideband air fuel meter to anyone tuning or driving a carbureted vehicle. It tells 

you any air fuel mixture and when it is OFF, which seems to happen often if you don't drive your car often. A Mallory Unilite Distributor with Accel plug wires and Splitfire plugs.  A Jacobs performance coil sparks all 

that fuel coming from that Holley 600 CFM carb. Expelling through a custom 2.5" Flowmaster exhaust, 40 series 2 chamber design for optimum "noise disturbance"!  It's loud ;)


Brand new gas tank and sender, rebuilt 10 bolt rear end with new carrier bearings, axle bearings, pinion bearings, 3.08 gears. All new single master cylinder, drum brakes and lines, rebuilt steering components with 

bushings and caps, rear sump pan, power steering linkage but no ram or box, stock suspension but will need new bushings. Custom Flowmaster exhaust, coated ram horn manifolds, 2 chamber Flowmasters so it's 

loud and obnoxious. New 1330 u-joints so they are bigger and stronger than the 1310 stuff. Rebuilt TH350 with 2-3 stage shift kit; will chirp tires on the fwy!!!! Not very safe if you'd ask some, but fun!!!!

There is so much to list about this car, I could tell you about every inch but it's late, don't feel like typing anymore. So just call me, text me, email me, Skype, whatever. Jeff, 951-764-5573. It will chirp the tires from 

second to third; ON THE FWY!!!! Fun, Fun, Fun. Most body work has been done with it being painted in a flat black primer; needs minor work near the gas cap area and will need to be taken down again if you

 wait too long. Clear title and current Tags!!!!

This is a rust free California car and fast. I definitely would not sell this car unless my situation called for it, so my 66 has to go. Unfortunately my son and I picked a car that is very light and it was too fast for my 

teenaged son to drive; responsibly. It was totally his fault too. At 14 he can build some serious engines, or he got lucky for his first time. We built a 305 that dyno'd at 215hp and 255ft lbs. at the rear wheels!!!! With a 

30% drivetrain loss that is 280hp and 330 ft. lbs. at the crank ;) There is no way I'm gonna let my teenaged son drive this car. I remember my first car and no way, he'll kill himself. That being said, this is a very fun 

car to drive as an adult. It blows the one tire off in 1st gear, then gets the car sideways on the shifts and pulls hard to redline. I have not had a chance to take it to the drag strip though, my guess is 13's, 12's with good 

traction. Current Tags!!!!


This car still needs some work and a few parts, just check the pics.  The interior needs finished, some body work, and paint. Here is another list of parts that you will still need.

  1. Headlight Bezels
  2. Lower Valance Trim
  3. Dome Light Base, have Dome
  4. Spare Tire J-Bolt and Wing Nut
  5. Interior Upholstery is all there
  6. Dash Pad Renewed
  7. Door Panels Renewed
  8. Door handles and window cranks re-chromed
  9. Clean Carpet
  10. E-brake handle
  11. Rear E-brake cable(the longer one)

Cheapest SUVs of 2024

Mon, Jan 29 2024

There is no doubt that cost is the number one decision maker when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. As prices continue to climb, affordable choices are getting harder to find, so we dug through what's available to find the least expensive SUVs in the most popular classes.  These prices are current as of January 2024, using available manufacturer suggested retail prices for 2024 models wherever possible. The prices include destination fees, but not dealer markups or incentives. Cheapest small SUV: 2024 Hyundai Venue Not surprisingly, the most affordable SUVs are the smallest. There's a whole host of subcompact SUVs out there, with some of the first introduced being the Nissan Juke, Mini Countryman and Kia Soul. In the beginning, these micro utes were marketed to empty nesters and first-time buyers, but nowadays they represent an alternative to the conventional sedan and have been increasing market share ever since. Profit margins in this class are narrow and popularity is high, which means the entrants are competitively priced. The top choices in the class are only a couple thousand dollars more than the most affordable alternatives below, so it may make sense to consider our favorites that include the Mazda CX-30, Volkswagen Taos and Chevrolet Trax. 2024 Hyundai Venue: $21,135 The Hyundai Venue debuted in 2020 and earned praise for its overall value. You get a ton of features for the money as well as a very generous warranty. Holding it back is its rather weak engine and very tiny proportions. Honorable mentions: 2024 Chevrolet Trax: $21,495 2024 Kia Soul: $21,565 Cheapest midsize SUV: 2024 Chevrolet Equinox Compact SUVs have the broadest appeal thanks to a very diverse group. It seems as though there's a great pick for nearly every taste, whether you're seeking something sporty, rugged or luxurious. They're a great pick for small families with one child and/or a dog. The class is led by vehicles that include the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Mazda CX-50, which are still within reach of most shoppers' budgets. 2024 Chevrolet Equinox: $27,995 The Equinox debuted back in 2005 and this current third-generation was last redesigned in 2018, though a new one is right around the corner for the 2025 model year. While the current 2024 model may be showing its age, it still deserves your consideration for its comfortable ride quality, confident cornering and roomy passenger space.

Zombie cars: Discontinued vehicles that aren't dead yet

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
