On July 20, 1967, William Ferrell strolled into Allen Green Chevrolet in Burien, Washington in search of a new car.  Mr. Ferrell was stationed at the nearby Fort Lewis for basic training and wanted to get a new car before he was shipped off to Vietnam.  With his checks from Uncle Sam burning a hole in his pockets, he searched the lot for the perfect ride.  He found what he was looking for in a brand new 1967 Bolero Red Nova Super Sport.  It had matching red interior and a black vinyl top.  When he popped the hood, it got even better.  It had the factory installed 327 rated at 275 horsepower backed up by a 4 speed transmission.  This car fit the bill perfectly and after some paperwork was signed, William was driving his new Nova back to the base. 

To get his new car on the base, he was required to put a bumper sticker with his permit number on it. (it is still on the rear bumper) I also have the temporary permit from the dealer.  William ended up going to Vietnam and returned a year later to find his Nova just as he had left it.  With his duty to Uncle Sam fullfilled, he hopped in the Nova and drove it back to his home state of South Carolina where he and the car resided together until 2010. 

When I bought the car, it was totally original. Unlike so many other Novas, this one was loved and not changed.  It still had its complete original drivetrain down to the original carburetor, starter, distributor, alternator, shifter, etc.  It showed just over 60,000 miles on the odometer and no doubt are actual miles.  When I got the car, it smoked a little  so I pulled the engine and replaced, rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, and had the heads professionaly gone through.  I replaced the original clutch and installed period correct bias white wall tires.  The body was near perfect wearing most of its original Bolero red laquer. The body had absolutely no rust and only a few dings and bruises.  There is no evidence of any major damage and it still retains both of its original T 3 headlights.  I replaced the original vinyl top just because it had dried out and cracked over the years.  I also removed the carpet and had it professionaly cleaned.  While taking the carpet out I found a build sheet showing the drivetrain and color options.  (see picture)  Also under the seat was a few pictures of the car and family members from the late 60,s.  When the carpet was out I could see where at one time the heater core had leaked and left a very small amount of rust on the passenger side floor board.  Really not significant enough to even mention. 

When Mr. Ferrell bought the car, it not only had the best color combination and best drivetrain combination, it also had some pretty good factory options.  It came with the factory wood steering wheel, rear defroster, and front and rear bumper guards. 

I have lovingly preserved this car and has been in my personal collection for years now.  I will be selling off a few of my cars in the next few weeks including a one owner 1964 Nova Super Sport, 283 with 4 speed and factory air conditioning and a 1964 GTO original California Black plate car that has had a frame off restoration.

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.

Chevy Tahoe-to-K5 Blazer conversion shop renders Jimmy option

Sat, Feb 20 2021

Back in 2019 we told you about a truck that looked like a K5 Chevy Blazer, but was actually a modern late-model Tahoe underneath. It was the product of Arkansas shop Flat Out Autos, which reskinned modern GM full-size SUVs to look like their predecessors. Now, the same shop is planning to release a GMC version, converting Yukons to Jimmys. We were impressed by Flat Out's workmanship, beautifully blending the lines of the Blazer into those of the Tahoe. The result was a cohesive design, not just a panel swap. It clearly required a lot of work, which helped justify the $69,000 price tag, not including the cost of the donor Tahoe. FlatOut Autos GMC Blazer Tahoe reskin 01 View 11 Photos At least one new owner was so impressed that they recently purchased four identical Blazer conversions at once. The quadruplets were all finished in blue with a white roof and all based on brand-new 2020 Tahoes. Obviously, with such demand it was only natural for Flat Out to explore other options. On Facebook the company said it was working on a 1972 version with an eggcrate grille. Now, they've also released a rendering paying homage to the K5 GMC Jimmy. The Jimmy conversion uses the original's quad-headlight face, crosshair grille and GMC badging. Like the Blazer conversion, it adds chrome bumpers and milled door handles while adapting the original's 2-door design to the new truck's 4-door body. The rendering only shows the front three-quarter view, but presumably a new carbon fiber rear door would have to be created as the Blazer's says "Chevrolet" across the back. Flat Out says that all the modern conveniences found on the donor Tahoe will work on the conversion, including parking, blind spot and lane keeping sensors. If you have the coin, it's a great way to have retro style without giving up modern safety and performance. The new Blazer has been disappointing to many fans that had hoped for a Bronco-like SUV. Instead, GM gave us a crossover. The Flat Out conversions might be a good compromise, and expanding it to the GMC brand only makes sense. Obviously there's no requirement to use a GMC Yukon as the donor vehicle for the Jimmy, as it's functionally identical to a Tahoe, but wouldn't you want to keep it in the family? Related Video:

2016 Chevrolet Spark lights up New York

Thu, Apr 2 2015

The little Spark has been somewhat of a surprising entry in the modern Chevy lineup in the US. Given its diminutive stature, you might have expected the slightly larger Sonic to cannibalize the tiny sibling's sales, but that hasn't happened. The Bowtie moved 39,159 Sparks in the US in 2014, a 14.7 percent boost from the previous year. Now at the 2015 New York Auto Show, the latest generation is being unveiled with a new engine and much improved styling. Replacing the current 1.2-liter four-cylinder is an all-aluminum 1.4-liter unit making 98 horsepower. That still doesn't sound like much, but it's 16 percent more than the 2015 Spark. The new mill can be connected to either a five-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission with which Chevy estimates 40 miles per gallon highway fuel economy. The 2016 Spark also gets a longer wheelbase and 1.6-inch lower overall height. Combined with more elliptical headlights at the front, the changes make for a somewhat more sleek appearance than the current, boxy model. The platform underneath is more rigid as well, and Chevy claims the latest underpinnings mean better handling and lower NHV levels inside. The little hatch isn't growing up too much, though, and gets a trio of new colors that sound like jellybean flavors: Toasted Marshmallow, Kalamata and Splash. Chevy is packing the interior with better quality materials and improved tech. Chevy's latest seven-inch MyLink system sits in the center stack with a capacitive touchscreen, and it now comes with a physical volume control and other buttons for easier use. All models also get a rearview camera, and a LCD instrument cluster remains in front of the driver. The available suite of safety systems includes Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning and Side Blind Spot Alert. The 2016 Spark goes on sale in the US in the fourth quarter of 2015 and is produced in South Korea. Expect a gallery showing off all its new styling from the New York show floor soon.
