I have a 1970 Chevrolet Nova project for sale.  I have the rebuild paperwork for the title, but haven't submitted it yet and am still in contact with the previous owner if more paperwork is needed to be signed to finish the Rebuilt Title process.  With that out of the way, I have a good condition 1970 Nova for sale.  Was originally a 307 with an Auto Column shift transmission.  Someone has installed a manual trans pedal assembly and cut a hole in the floor pan for a manual transmission.  I have a Th400 transmission with a TCI 2200 stall converter for it (used), and an almost complete 454 engine.  No transmission crossmember or proper driveshaft for that transmission.  I have a driveshaft that I will let go with it but am not sure it will work with trans and rear end.  I am not sure about what rear end it has, as I have not been able to find any identification on it.  It has drums all around on it.  

It has two factory rally's in the back and two newer rally's in the front.  I have a set of 15x7 wheels and tires that go with the car as well.  As well as a B&M floor shifter with a TH350 cable, no TH400 cable to go with.  No original seats for the car.  I have to high back bucket seats that go with it.  I believe they came out of a 1973 Grand Prix or similar GM car.

The 454 engine has been disassembled and was just about to get rebuilt, but have too many projects going right now.  I have the block (standard bore), crankshaft (standard rods and mains), stock pistons and rods, a set of good heads, factory 4 barrel manifold, factory rear dump exhaust manifolds, and a factory cam in the block.  The bores and bearing journals are in great shape and would be ready to put back together if someone bought a rebuild kit for it.  

The front and rear subframes are in good shape and not rusted out.  It will need a left rear quarter or fix the panel that is there.  I have two good doors that go with the car.  They just need to be changed out.  There is body rust on the car, but it is a very solid builder and should be treated as such.  

Previous owner attempted sanding on the car years ago and created nothing but surface rust where he didn't prime back up.  All the windows are there and in good shape.  One of the other doors has good glass in it as well.  Will need drivers side floor pan and passenger side front floor pan.  Trunk is solid.  Dash is in good shape, pad is cracked.  Engine wiring harness is still intact and so is all other wiring.

454 Engine Block - 14015445.  2 Bolt Main
454 Heads -  6272292 Oval Port Heads

I will post all the pics I am allowed and will get the cowl tag posted on here as well.  If you have any questions or would like to come look at the car, send me your number to seanmmacgregor@aol.com and I will contact you.  I can also text or email any desired photos to you.  I want everyone to be completely informed on what I am selling so there are no surprises when you show up. 

Thank you and good luck.

NHTSA probes 2010 Chevy Tahoe for side airbag issue

Wed, Jun 17 2015

After a person was killed in a rollover accident in a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe in Texas in 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is considering whether to conduct a deeper investigation into a potential problem with the model's side airbags. According to the petition filed with the government agency, the SUV's rollover side curtain airbag deployed in the accident, but the design allegedly still allowed some of the occupants in the second- and third-row seats to be ejected from the vehicle. One of them died in the crash. Based on NHTSA's preliminary review, this is the only report of this type of incident happening in a 2007-2015 Tahoe or GMC Yukon. "GM investigated the complaint that is the basis of the petition and found no defect trend," company spokesperson Alan Adler said to The Detroit News, and said the automaker will cooperate with the feds. Still, "a defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and make a grant or deny decision," according to NHTSA. Depending on the agency's findings, this could lead to a full investigation and possible recall affecting an estimated 58,000 vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Rollover Side Curtain Air Bags Date Investigation Opened: JUN 11, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: DP15004 Component(s): AIR BAGS All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET TAHOE 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE HYBRID 2010 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received a petition requesting an investigation of alleged defects that can cause occupant ejections during rollover crashes in certain General Motors vehicles. The petition alleges the defects allow second and third row occupants to be ejected despite the deployment of rollover side curtain air bags. The petition cites a 2011 Texas crash involving a model year 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, which allegedly resulted in multiple occupants to be ejected. One of the ejected occupants was fatally injured. ODI's preliminary review of its consumer complaint data found no similar reports of occupant ejections on 2007-2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon vehicles. ODI also reviewed Early Warning Reporting data submitted by General Motors. A defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and make a grant or deny decision.

Opel CEO talks new EV, will likely be fresh face for Chevy, too

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The rumored demise of the Opel Ampera has been confirmed, but there's good news, too. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has been busy Tweeting information about the brand's next plug-in vehicle, admitting that the Ampera is on the way out but that plug-in vehicles are here to stay. His Tweets, in full, read: After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment. Our next electric vehicle will be part of our massive product offensive – with 27 new vehicles in the 2014-2018 time frame. We see eMobility as important part of the mobility of tomorrow and we will continue to drive down costs & deliver affordability. As we learned earlier this week, the Ampera will not be refreshed when the current Chevy Volt is updated, most likely because of slow sales. Opel sold just 332 Amperas in the first five months of 2014. For now, General Motors is still building Amperas in Michigan for export to Europe. So, what might this new EV mean for the General Motors plug-in fleet? Official spokespeople are being quiet, but we think it's safe to say the new EV Neumann is talking about is not simply a rebadged Chevy Spark EV. This is the first official word about an entirely new EV, and we expect it will come to both the Chevrolet and Opel brands.
