 This is my other car I'm selling to thin out the heard. It's a 1972 Chevy Nova that I've owned for 13 years and it has been a joy to drive. I'm just downsizing and not selling the car to get rid of because of problems. Car runs perfect and handles excellent. Custom bodywork and paint done by the legendary Sam Foose and rubbed out by Jake of the Overhaulin show. Paint is 6 years old and looks like it was painted yesterday. There is ZERO rust on this car anywhere. The motor is a 383 Stroker with a Turbo 400 transmission that was just serviced. Lots of power yet very streetable and sounds great. This is one of my cars that I do drive everywhere. Other features on the car are custom buckets up front with a custom rear seat to accommodate the roll bar. The roll bar has been modified to make it easier to get in and out. Interior includes sound absorbing material throughout with brand new black carpet. There is a custom console that Sam Foose also built that handles the B&M shifter with line lock button in the handle. 12 bolt posi rear with 3:90 gears. New aluminum radiator with electric fan and K&N air filter. Motor was built for Nitrous but I've never used it in the 13 years I've owned it. Power Steering with upgraded SSBC disc's up front with drums in the rear make this car stop on a dime. New wheels and tires. 225/50/17 Nexen tires on 8x17 Chrome American Racing Wheels on all four corners.  Front sway bar and frame connectors help keep you on the road. Hooker Super Comp Jet Hot ceramic coated headers, front lower air deflector, radiator brace filler and a drive shaft loop round out this beauty. As a touch for the people that worked on the car, the glove box door is signed by Chip Foose with one of his free hand drawings and by his infamous dad, Sam Foose also.

Look at the pictures of the roof and you can see the reflection of the trees with great detail.

So if you are looking for a car to do a lot of work on, keep looking. This car is complete and needs nothing but a driver and a good home.

And if you want any other pictures of the car, just ask and I'll get them to you.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

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.
