I'm the second owner of this 74 Nova. It was built at the Van Nuys plant in Calif. When I bought it, it had the original 350 V8 with the 350 Turbo Hydromatic, (3 speed automatic trans.) Except for some upgrades and replacement parts I kept this Nova as close to original as possible. I wanted a true SS but they were either a rust bucket or going for 30K. The engine had oil leaks and was burning some oil so I decided to clone me an SS. The interior has a new dashboard pad and not some plastic cover, the door panels are new also. The stereo, that was professionally installed, is a Blaupunkt w/CD player and the front in-dash speakers are Alpine and the back are Jensens 6x9. I installed a aftermarket RPM in-dash gauge where the clock was on the upper right side. This gauge was design to look and fit like it was factory installed. I installed a rebuilt tilt steering column from a 69 Camaro because I couldn't find one from another Nova for manual shift. Most guys would just knock out the pin and remove the automatic column shift stick but that leaves that little hump, too tacky for me. And yes I did replace the rag joint coupler and installed a new heater core for good measures. It does have P/S, P/B, A/C, a rear window defogger and a third brake light on the inside that was installed by the original owner. I installed a mechanical gauge set, water temp, amps and oil pressure to keep an eye on the engine. The speedometer needs to be calibrated, it's off by 10 mph, and the floor pan under the drivers side needs to be repaired or replaced because it has some cracks in one small area. I guarantee that you won't fall through the floor but it needs to be addressed. Other than that everything works and as you can see the interior looks excellent for it's age. The engine is a NOS (new old stock) 350 L31 Vortec  stock short block with four bolt main. The top end is all Edelbrock from the cam and it timing chain set, aluminum heads, air gap intake and 800 CFM carb. I can provide the part number to these performance parts if you want to check over the spec's. I didn't just guess at what to install, I talk to Art at Edelbrock and he gave me a performance package to install on this stock L31 block. I installed a high volume Meiling oil pump for good lube and high flow water pump with 3 roll aluminum radiator for excellent cooling. Spark comes from a MSD 9000 RPM distributor. Hooker ceramic headers, Flowmaster Super 44's with 2 1/2" plumbing allows that cam to be heard and roars down the rode. The clutch is a Centerforce dual friction with a Muncie M20 and Hurst Comp Plus 4 speed behind it. HD universal joints were install and the rear end is a stock 10 bolt with highway gears. Front disc brakes are new drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads and new drums and shoes on the back. As for the body it's never been in a wreck but there's a nasty gash on the passenger side rear fender just above the tire. The chrome and stainless steel is close to excellent condition. Rims are factory 14x7 SS rally with all the trimmings and rubber is B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A. It needs a few dime size dents here and there popped out and a new paint job. There is room for improvement here that's why I didn't go too far with it. No cutting torch, welding or jerry rigging was used here and all the new parts came from Classic Industries, Summit Racing and Edelbrock. As for the SS part the horn pad is SS, the new from grill is SS, the stainless steels rings around the taillights are SS and I have both fender SS emblems and rear trunk emblem. When it came to the Nova SS Chevrolet didn't have any set pattern, some had a center console, some had just the stick shift, some had the RPM gauge in the upper left side of the speedometer, some not. I provided the honest facts, I've seen Nova's on here going for close to what I'm asking and I can't believe the awful condition or dramatic personal changes. This is the cleanest Nova around and it was built to be a daily driver and last. Buyer must pick up car or have it delivered by your own service. Title is clear and registration is up to date. When I bought the car back in 2008 it had 27,000 original miles not 127,000 and it shows. In Calif. it is smog exempt. Fill free to contact me with your questions. Sorry NO CHECKS of any kind. The price is firm.

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode

Fri, Apr 17 2015

MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.

GM to idle car production at five factories as Americans continue CUV love affair

Mon, Dec 19 2016

In case you needed another reminder that Americans have fallen out of love with sedans, General Motors today announced plans to idle five factories in January in a bid to cut its inventory to 70 days. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly ( Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and Impala) and Fairfax Assembly in Kansas ( Chevy Malibu) will stop production for three weeks. Lansing Grand River ( Cadillac ATS and CTS, and Chevy Camaro) is going down for two weeks, while Lordstown, OH ( Chevy Cruze) and Bowling Green, KY ( Chevy Corvette) will go idle for a week each, Automotive News reports. GM's shutdown reflects a broader problem with the company's supply – at 847,000 vehicles, the company's supply increased unsteadily from a low of 629,000 units in January of 2016. That's more than a 25 percent increase in the past year. Citing information from Autodata, The Detroit News reports that at the end of November, GM had a 168-day supply of LaCrosses, 177 days' worth of Camaro, 170 days of Corvette, 121 days for Cruze, 119 days for ATS, 132 days for CTS, and 110 days of CT6. Meanwhile, inventory of the company's more popular vehicles is actually below the professionally accepted 60- to 70-day supply, The News reports. The Trax, Colorado pickup, and GM's full-size SUVs are sitting below 50 days and experiencing year-over-year sales increases. GM needs a rethink of its inventory levels, which is something that's apparently coming. "We're going to be responsible in managing our inventory levels," GM spokesman Jim Cain told The News. Another unnamed spokesman told Automotive News the company's day-to-day supplies would "fluctuate before moderating at year-end." But at least one analyst thinks this won't be the last time Detroit needs to stop production to level things out. "Incentives are elevated, residuals are declining, and rates are rising," Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays, told The News. "And while GM in particular may benefit in the months ahead from new product launches, it's important to recognize that GM's inventory is elevated at the moment, and it wouldn't surprise us if they need to announce another production cut – which could pressure the stock."
