1969 Chevrolet Nova SS

Car has never been on a drag strip, It has only been a street toy that I've taken to the local car shows. VIDEO     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TPZZHGexP4

Hit the buy it now and I'll throw in a Gopro camera with mounts and remote!!!!!!!

 

This 69 Nova has been a very fun part of my life but its now time for it to be sold. I have decided to move on to another project and I am out of room, so this car has to go. It's "not" a real Super Sport Nova It just has the emblems. It started life as a 6 cylinder power glide car plain jane. The car's body is very low mileage. When I had the title put in my name, the state of ohio required a vehicle inspection and since the car has aftermarket gauges and didn't show original mileage, now the title show's odometer discrepancy.

NOW ON TO THE GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!

Its a nice car, it has original floor boards, original trunk pan, original doors, It had the quarters and fenders replaced, It has Detroit Speed mini tub kit installed, professional installation. Very nice! looks like stock inner wheel wells.

It has a Monsterous Merlin BIG BLOCK 540 and it is the meanest street car that I know of in my area.  It's 850+ horsepower and the car hooks up surprisingly well on the street with the current Mickey Thompson drag radials. It will put a smile on your face every time you drive it!!!!! Here's a list of goodies on the car.....

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
