ok, more details about the Nova...I bought this car in Indiana about two years ago, before that it came from Georgia, it was a project in progress. The engine had just been rebuilt and set in the car, it was ran for the first time when I looked at the car just so I could hear it run. I buttoned things up under the hood such as installing the PS, belts, hoses, etc. It has a freshly rebuilt Q-Jet, HEI ignition, headers and cherry bombs. The tires are BF Goodrich Radial T/A 225 70SR 15 on original ralley wheels. The odometer shows 95508 miles but the engine has less than 500 miles on it, it has new subframe bushings, a hood scoop on the original hood, it has power steering with new hoses, it has black interior with bench seat (one seam has come apart on the driver side) and column shift, new carpet and arm rests, it does need a headliner-the bows are there but the liner has been taken out. The floor pans are solid (no rust and never been replaced), the driver side lower quarter has been replaced and both lower front fenders have been properly repaired, the trunk pan has been repaired (not a replacement pan) but it is solid. I have a new gas tank ordered and will be installing it this week. As stated, the body is in a base coat, it does need blocked to be finished out (there are some minor dings here and there, nothing major), all the glass is good, this is a solid car. It runs strong and is fun to drive, its a head turner as is. Please feel free to ask any questions, SERIOUS buyers can call me at 618 508 3652. I am moving on the 23rd of June and am motivated to sell this car quickly. thanks

Is this GM's next electric crossover?

Thu, Nov 16 2017

GM made headlines this week when CEO Mary Barra presented the company's electrification and automation plans at the Barclays Global Automotive Conference in New York. "We are committed to a future electric vehicle portfolio that will be profitable," Barra said, which could be taken as a jab at Tesla. In the presentation ( PDF here), though, we see a new vehicle in a slide titled "Leveraging existing BEV platform to expand in near term." The vehicle, seen above, accompanied the captions "New CUV entries" and "two entries by 2020." Is this a sneak preview of an upcoming electric crossover from GM? The image seems too realistic and intentional to be a random placeholder. If this is, indeed, an upcoming battery-electric CUV based on the Bolt, the question remains: Will it be a Chevy or a Buick? It has no visible badging, but it shares DNA from both brands. As Inside EVs points out, though, it does bear a resemblance to the Chevrolet FNR-X concept unveiled in Shanghai earlier this year. With two CUVs on the way, it's not unthinkable that there could be a version for each brand. In addition to this slide, the presentation includes plans for an "All new multi-brand, multi-segment platform" launching in 2021. The all-new modular battery system will cost less than $100 per kWh, providing higher energy density and faster charging. The platform will host at least nine different vehicles, including a compact crossover, seven-seat luxury SUV and a large commercial van. GM has said it will launch 20 new EVs by 2023, and that it targets 1 million EV sales per year by 2026. Many of those sales will be in China. Related Video:

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
