*** THERE IS A SLIDESHOW WITH MORE DETAILED PICS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS AUCTION ***

1972 Chevrolet Nova. Was originally Gulf Green with Dark Green cloth bench seat. Originally had a 250ci 6-cylinder engine with an automatic transmission. There is no engine or transmission in the car now and at one time a hole was cut in the floor for a floor shift. It has a Nova Custom tag on the drivers side fender but I do not believe that it actually is a Nova Custom. At one time I think it had a vinyl top and some side trim down the side of the car. All of that has been removed. Some body work has been done on the car previously and the engine bay has been resprayed in flat black. The body tag ST # does not match anything I have found so I'm not real sure what the deal is with it. Any help is appriciated.

I have included pics of restored 72 Novas in Gulf Green to show what this car could look like if it was restored. Pretty sweet looking color.

The body on the car is pretty straight. The areas of concern are around the windows, the weatherstrip channels around the trunk, and the drivers side rear quarter. All will need to be repaired or replaced. The drivers side rear lower quarter will have to be completely replaced starting in front of the wheel well. The passenger side rear quarter doesn't look to bad but I can't really tell what has been repaired or not. The fenders and doors look fine from outside inspection. The hood has a hole in the very front and the trunk lid has one underneath the rear logo. Nothing too major to repair.

The car will need two long floor pans put in. The trunk pan looks pretty good with just two small holes that can be patched.

Both of the bumpers look pretty good.

I'm pretty sure the seats in the car are not the originals.

All the glass is good except for the front windshield. It has bubbled around the edges.

The stainless is all there except for the side trim...if you want to go back to original.

*** The car will come with a bill of sale ONLY. Alabama does not title cars 35+ years old.***

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.

GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.
