All numbers match.. never been cut up , misused, or modified in any way.. Everything works...Everything opens ,closes and locks.. One owner with 90k original miles...Garage kept all its life... Here's the story,,, This was my parents car that they bought new in 1972 at Luci Chevrolet in Vineland N.J.... It was ordered by me ( remember when you could order a car exactly how you wanted ? ) for them with minimal options.. I couldn't talk them into air condition because it cost about $250. more but I did get them to go for the tinted windows at $39. ..Cost new with options, power glide trans $169. power steering $100. body molding $33. AM radio $65. Vinyl roof $82. full wheel covers $26. W/W tires $28. vinyl interior $18. Tinted glass $39. undercoating was free.. .Total cost of $3,003 .. I have all original books, manual, emission control book, Chev. consumer info book, seat belt info book, finance contract from the bank, insurance paper and dealer order sheet from 1972...My parents both have been gone for many years... It was maintained religiously including in the garage washing in the middle of winter time with a bucket of water...At about 85 years old my mother ran into a car on the drivers side front fender.. Hood was not touched...From that time on the car sat in her garage as is because she was then afraid to drive.. She turned it over to my oldest son right before she died .. It sat in his garage for years as is until he needed the room for his new car.. I took possession of it a couple years ago.. I bought another '72 Nova and used the fender and grill parts to put it back together ( I have the side molding for that fender ).. Also put in a new radiator and gas tank .. It runs great and goes down the road nicely.. It is registered, titled, insured and on the road legally as an antique in my name.. The paint is mostly original but over the years my parents did have parts painted to fix scratches and dings but all matches and looks pretty good....There are some dull spots and some very minor surface rust spots that will probably buff off with a polishing compound.... About 30 years ago someone bumped it in the back and bent the rear bumper and the metal behind it.. It did not affect the trunk or the light... Tires are about 30 years old but hold air and have tread... Brakes feel good with no issue but have been on the car for about 25 years .. Muffler sounds like it is rusting.. There is rust behind the front and back wheels but floors are great and trunk still has the original speckled paint and jacking instructions.. I had plans of restoring it for sentimental reasons but my retirement and a Florida home have changed my priorities .. I very rarely run it other than a down the road and back about every few weeks... The last time I drove it it acted like it had cruise control.. Everything was perfect until I let off the gas and then it stayed at the speed I was going.. To slow it down I had to brake it or put it in neutral.. When you put it in neutral at highway speed it comes down to an idle so its easier to stop that way considering these old drum brakes on it.. That problem just started and I was told the kick down linkage may be rusty and sticking ... It will cruise up to 50 MPH ( thats about the fastest its ever been ) with no issue...Due to this cruise control like problem I do not feel comfortable allowing a potential buyer to test drive it.. I will test drive it for you for safety and my personal responsibility.. I think you will be convinced that this car is what I say and my honesty and integrity will not be compromised to sell it... Money is not an issue, its just that I don't want this car to sit and rust away when someone can give it a good home... Please check my feedback.. I'm proud of my 100%... Any question about this vehicle please e-mail me... I am not a professional mechanic or body work guy... All of what I describe is my own opinion or what someone has told me...I welcome you or your mechanic to inspect it.....If you win it and you can show me it is not as I described , you don't have to buy it when you come to pick it up, but please don't nit pick this 42 year old car because you changed your mind before even looking at it.. If your buying and transferring title without an inspection , the deal is over and it is your car... I don't think that I can be any more fair than that... I'm sure there are small things that I look at everyday on it that I just don't see because I've been looking at it for over 40 years ( kind of like you don't notice how gray you and your wife have gotten until you look at your old wedding picture,,, sorry honey ! ) ,, but please know I am not misleading you to unload a piece of junk !!!!!! If you purchase my car I want a $300. paypal deposit within 24 hours of the end of auction and the rest can either be 1 of 2 ways... a wire transfer to my bank or cash in hand... I will not accept any check of any kind for all or any part of the deal.... thanks for your consideration !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Travis Kvapil tells Twitter his Sprint Cup car was stolen
Fri, Feb 27 2015There's a bizarre story coming out of Atlanta today, as NASCAR racer Travis Kvapil is reporting that his Sprint Cup Car was stolen from a lot at the Drury Inn in Morrow, GA. Kvapil announced the theft, which included the black pickup that was hauling the trailer and the #44 Chevrolet SS Sprint Cup Car – shown above, with driver JJ Yeley at the wheel – on Twitter. According to Kvapil, the car wasn't going to be ready for the Thursday test session at Atlanta Motor Speedway, although forecasts of snow forced the team to dispatch their main trailer and tools to the track ahead of the car, which left for Atlanta later yesterday. According to ESPN, police in Morrow have video of the "incident," which happened at 5:34 AM Friday, with police investigating it as as criminal in nature. "Sometimes what happens when thieves see trailers, they might just assume there's something in the trailer they can go off and sell," Sgt. Larry Oglesby, of the Morrow PD, told USA Today. "Sometimes when things like this occur, they will drop off the items in a parking lot somewhere – like a Walmart parking lot – once they realize what they have." "All we know is it was a silver jeep," team owner John Cohen told USA Today. "One guy got out and they pulled off together." Earlier, Cohen told ESPN that the theft will force the team out of this weekend's race at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500, at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Kvapil, meanwhile, has taken to Twitter to appeal to his followers to be on the lookout for the truck, trailer and race car. Here's hoping it turns up all together. Check out the driver's tweets, below. Wow. Anyone near Atlanta find my stolen Cup car let me know! Unreal - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 I bet when whoever has it, opens the trailer and is going to be like 'oh snap' - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Ok, to clarify. @Teamxtreme44 transporter is @amsupdates. The guys stayed and worked on the car Thursday at the shop in NC. They drove.... - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 down last night in a Ford dually and enclosed trailer with racecar inside. That was stolen out of hotel parking lot this am in Morrow, GA - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Black Ford dually, white enclosed tag behind trailer. New Jersey plates - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Dang.... I'm wishing we had LoJack or something on it!
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 [w/videos]
Wed, Jan 7 2015I think I was supposed to be back hours ago. Driving northwest on State Road 190 with a final destination deep in the heart of the Death Valley National Park, it occurs to me that I might have agreed to return after an hour or so, instead of the four I'll end up stealing, solo, in the new Z06. Somewhere in the combination of mountain vistas, arching, speed-hungry desert roads, and the sound of this titanic engine on a constant run up the rev ladder, I forgot everything I'd promised back at home base. The generous, civilized part of me worries for a moment that absconding with the new-best Corvette might have left one of my fellow journalists without a car. But the selfish part of me – the part largely in control of the rocket-launcher of a throttle under my right foot – says "screw it." I spent two days with the 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06, a monster of a sports car that will soon be dominating track days everywhere, and I never once was inclined to share it. Hurtling through the shattered stillness of the desert and pulling big Gs at Spring Mountain circuit, I never felt overly disposed to give up my seat. This Corvette, more than any I've yet driven, was deep enough to hold my attention; for two days, for two years, probably. With this Z06, the Corvette steps over the amazing-for-the-price category, and solidly into the best-cars-in-the-world zone. There are peripheral elements that remind me of its blue collar, Bowtie heritage, sure, but there's more that simply begs me to carry on driving... faster. Most casual car observers will be able to pick the 2015 Z06 out from its less aggressive Stingray brothers. Subtler hints include a new, more open grille, larger extractor on the taller hood and rather discreet badges on the flanks of the car. More outrageous is the finned spoiler on the rear trunk lid, and the widebody look offered from flared fenders – an extra 1.57 inches (40 millimeters) at their beefiest point. Even driving around performance-car-laden Pahrump, NV – loaded thanks to the very active community at the Spring Mountain racing resort – members of the local populace were turning heads, waving and generally noting the Z06 with approval when I drove through town. In Torch Red over black painted aluminum wheels, staggered at 19-inches in front and 20 at the back, the amped-up Z06 hits a new level of road presence for the C7.
