You are looking at one of my many cars that I will be selling on ebay. I am selling my collection of cars due to personal reasons. Within the next few weeks I will list my other 70 Nova, 73 Scamp, 49 Olds, and many more. This Nova is a 1966 Clone SS. It has a 283 engine with a 3 speed automatic. Engine was completely rebuilt with many performance parts including a B&M power charger/super charger. Engine, trans, rear work great. Rebuild job has less than 3000 miles on it. It has dual exhaust with flow master mufflers, but there are no tail pipes installed and never were. It has Cragar wheels, like new tires, 205-70-14 in the front, 245-60-14 in the rear. It does not have power steering or power disc brakes. Overall the paint looks great, however there are small chips on the paint of the right side roof behind side window, (I just noticed and did not even touch them up), on the left side same place the paint has some some light bubbles, there are small bubbles on the left rear bottom rocker panel, and slight paint wear on the deck lid. Rear shield has a few sand paper marks in it, but it is not too bad and hard to notice. Both front fender are new however every once in a while when you make a sharp turn hitting a bump, the right fender with scrape the tire. The left used to do the same but I had it adjusted. I never got around to do the left because it does not rub all the time and it does not damage the fender or tire. There are also some slight imperfections on the right side of the hood, that could probably be sanded out and buffed. The hood is fiberglass. I have attached pictures to show the areas that I am describing but these areas really don't look that bad and you must realize that this car is not a perfect show car, so these issues did not bother me, however I as always try to over-disclose everything. From a slight distance the car looks great. The inside overall is decent, however the headliner is original and is white, it also has two holes in it where I think at one time a mouse ran in and out of it. Either way it should be changed to red. Seats looks good as well as the carpet. The door panel are Ok, however they got warped from dampness where the car used to be stored. Eventually you should replace them. The left door hinge pin is starting to get loose and eventually it should be replaced. The underneath of the car over all is decent. It has a good fuel tank, trunk, shocks, frame rails, however it does have some rust areas that I just noticed on the lift, but none of the areas are in a serious place. I've attached some photos of the underneath to show the spots. At one time the floor was refinished from the inside and they did not finish the underneath surface to match. The spots that are bad (again the spots are not in a safety area) are easy fixes. I just got a price to fix the spots correctly and professionally from a auto fabrication shop and he quoted me a dollar amount not to exceed $500.00 to make it perfect. Again I am not really worried about these areas that much to fix them, but if somebody was making a show car they could easily repair the areas at a low cost. The floor panels are solid and this car is not a complete rust bucket, it just needs to be finished properly to be a show car. The area you see on the underneath of the drivers side floor was replaced on the inside of the car , however whoever replaced it did not cut out the underneath to cover it correctly. As you can see, I am attempting to list every and all details about my car so that there is no surprises. The miles on the odometer read 29840, the title reads 126,350, the car will be sold with miles exempt. This car at one time was a automatic on the column, then had a clutch and now is a automatic. As seen in the pictures the clutch pedal was never taken out, so you can take it out or leave it in, in the event you install a stick shift. This car turn heads every where it goes. It sounds great, the 283 engine screams of power and it is fast and it looks as good as any other clone ss that is out there driving by. It is certainly not perfect, but if you want a clone nova ss for a decent price, this is the one. The car could be driven home, but I would recommend towing it, especially if you are going a distance, because of the low gearing. The speedometer works, but it is not accurate. The car is being sold AS-IS. It is located in Coal Township, Pa 17866. Buyer will be responsible for shipping costs and transfer fees. A $200 deposit is required at the end of the sale. I prefer cash or paypal, but I will not release the car until the paypal money is cleared into my account. If you are the purchaser, please be prepared to pay for the car. Please do not come to pick the car up and ask me to reduce the price. I have over-described this car so that I am not hiding anything so there should not be any surprises. When you physically see the car the surprise you should see is that it looks pretty good. Most of the problem areas that I have described would have been missed by the buyer. My son has just put this car on you tube, while we were taking it for a ride. When I get the links I will list them or you can request me to email to you. Thank you and happy bidding!

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
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.
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
