Little Falls, Minnesota, United States

I am selling my 1971 Nova SS.  This is one of the cleanest Nova’s you will find.  The car was originally sold at Purvis-Taylor Chevrolet in Crystal Springs Mississippi on February 2nd, 1971.  I have the original owner’s manual and a binder with the receipts documenting the Frame-off Restoration that was completed in 2006.  There is over $40,000 invested in the Frame-off Restoration and the car has been driven less than 1,500 miles since the restoration. The car was factory ordered with air conditioning and was also factory ordered with the rare radio delete option.  This car is in beautiful condition and has won multiple 1st place and Best of Show Awards.


Drivetrain:

The engine is not numbers matching.  It is a modern crate 350 with a 4 bolt main that has been stroked to a 383 with many upgrades.  It has high volume oil pump, steel crank, Jessell aluminum rods, Jessell high performance pistons, Pro-line aluminum heads, Pro-line aluminum intake, Barry Grant Demon Carburetor, MSD 6AL Ignition, new alternator, fully functional AC and Power Steering, 150 HP shot of Nitrous (Only been used for show purposes, has never been filled or ran through car) and a lot of chrome and polished parts.  The car has not been put on a Dyno but is estimated to be approximately 450 HP.

The transmission is a Richmond 5-speed backed by a Ram Heavy Duty clutch and Lakewood shatterproof bell housing.  Shifting the gears is done by a HURST shifter.

The exhaust begins with full length 3 inch Jet Coated headers that flow into Pypes Violator mufflers.  The exhaust exits in the factory location and is 3 inch from front to back.  This setup gives the car an amazing sound that you must hear in person.

The rear end is a Currie 9 inch with 3.73 gears, Posi, and heavy duty Currie 33 spline axles.  It has adjustable CAL-TRAC traction bars that have been installed along with sub-frame ties.

The brakes have been completely upgraded to 4 wheel BAER power disc brakes that are drilled and vented.

The wheels on this car are American Racing Torque Thrust II that are wrapped in Fuzion ZRI tires.  The fronts are 225/55/16 and the rears are 255/50/17.

 

Interior:

The interior is mostly original with the exception of front seat covers and carpet.  The headliner, dash pad, door panels and rear seat are all original and in excellent condition.  The front seats have been recovered and new carpet has been installed.  There are also new Chevrolet floor mats in the front and back.  All of the interior is in excellent condition there is no rips, cracks, or stains.  Everything works great including all the lights, gauges and switches.

 

Body:

This car retains all of its original sheet metal.  There is absolutely no rust anywhere on this car.  This car is laser straight and all factory seams line up excellent.  The doors, hood and trunk shut with ease just like new.  The original numbers are still stamped in the quarters.  The trunk is finished with factory speckle paint.  All of the chrome, glass and moldings are in excellent condition and have a brilliant shine to them.  The car is finished with a PPG base coat/clear coat Marina Blue paint that looks amazing.  The paint is laser straight and has amazing depth.


If you are looking for a car that you can take to shows, have fun driving, and be proud to own this is the car for you.  This car runs, drives, handles, and looks great.  It can be driven anywhere, and was part of the Power Tour in 2010.  The car is always stored in a climate controlled garage and is always covered with a custom fitted car cover (included with the car).  The car is only driven on nice days and has not seen rain or bad weather since the restoration.  The car is Frame-off Restored and no corners have been cut, everything was done right.  Everything on this car is in beautiful condition, including the underside which is as nice as the top.  The underside has been completely painted black and is in excellent condition.  I have done my best describing the car as accurately and detailed as possible, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.  Also, if you would like any additional pictures of the car contact me and I can take them and send them to you.


Payment: A $1,000 non refundable payment is due within 48 hours of auction close.  The remaining balance is due within 7 days of auction close. Remaining balance must be paid by cash in person, or verified cashiers check or bank draft.

Shipping: Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup, and if the car needs to be shipped the buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
