1972 Chevrolet Nova High Quality Build Fuel Injection

Reasonable Rides and Rods presents this 1972 Chevrolet Nova for your consideration.  This Nova is a high quality restored/custom car that needs nothing and can be driven and enjoyed now.

Paint/Body/Trim

Painted in Silver-Blue Metallic, the paint presentation of this Nova is outstanding.  Already a very solid car, it was stripped down to bare metal and painted.  This is a high quality paint job and all of the gaps are done well.  The firewall, floor pans, drop offs and trunk are in excellent condition.  All glass and trim are new and in excellent condition.  All new weatherstrip was installed throughout the car when it was painted.

Interior

The interior is a combination of stock and aftermarket components.  The front seats are new Procar Rally and the rear seat has been covered with the same material.  The custom rear package tray utilizes the same material.  The steering wheel is a Billet Specialties Street Lite attached to the custom tilt column.  A custom console was created and houses the gauges and a B&M Mega Shifter.  The stereo is a Retro 2 knob with MP3 capability.  The carpet, dash, door panels, and headliner are in great shape.  The fuel injection handheld computer is located in the glove box.  The interior of this car is extremely nice and adds a lot to the presentation.

Engine/Transmission/Rear End

The engine is a four bolt main 350 bored .030 over with a steel crank, 10:1 SRP forged pistons, Competition Cam, Edelbrock Aluminum Heads, Edelbrock Air Gap Intake, MSD 6 Ignition, billet accessories, and MSD Atomic EFI.  The engine has less than 200 miles since the build and performs flawlessly.  The fuel injection ensures that this car starts every time and is extremely responsive.  As you can see in the pictures, the entire fuel system is built for the fuel injection.  The fuel tank and pump system is done correctly to support the fuel injection.  It is dressed with all of the Edelbrock engine components for a nice presentation.  The engine is estimated to produce 400 hp.  The exhaust has Hooker long tube headers and is a full length stainless system with Flowmaster mufflers.  A four core aluminum radiator and dual electric fans keeps this little Nova running cool.  The transmission is a built Turbo 350 Automatic with a 2500 stall converter.  The transmission was built at the same time as the engine.  The rear end is a GM 10 bolt with an Auburn posi unit and 3.73 gears, and a Trick Flow cover. 

Suspension/Brakes/Tires/Wheels

The suspension and steering components are all new.  The steering has a manual gear box, but has been upgraded to a quick ratio box.  The stock control arms were retained, but all bushings are poly urethane.  A set of Competition Engineering subframe connectors were added to handle the power.  All new Right Stuff 4 wheel disc brakes were installed with slotted and cross-drilled rotors.  A new chrome booster, master cylinder, and proportion valve complete the brake system.  The car rides on new SLG Series Billet Specialties Wheels and Nitto NT555 235/40-18 front and 245/40-18 rear tires.  The car drives and steers better than new. 

Overall

This Nova has been built right.  Everything works on the car and it is fast, reliable, and enjoyable to drive.  With the fuel injection set up, you could use it as a daily driver, or a weekend cruiser/show car.  This is a totally solid car and a very high quality build with over $40k spent on paint, engine, trans, suspension, interior, wheels/tires, ect.  You will not be disappointed.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
