1975 Chevrolet Nova Coupe Pro Street W/nos Clean on 2040-cars

Year:1975 Mileage:38000

Burlington, Iowa, United States

If you're looking at this car, then you probably know as much as I do about it.  The car was abandoned in a storage facility, and I ended up with it.  I have a clear title in my name.  

So Here's what I do know:

Someone put a lot of money into this car.  I washed the care and dusted it, it has not been detailed.

Body:
I can find absolutely no rust on this car.  The undercarriage is very clean indicating it has not been driven in bad weather or winter since restoration.  The interior looks to be original with the exception of the gauges and shifter.  There is a small seam coming apart on driver's seat, about 2 inches long - shown in photos.  Overall, very nice condition. Carpet and mats are in very good condition. The trunk is clean, no spare.

The tires are all severely checked and all will need replacing, all hold air but leak.

It appears that something was dropped on the hood and there is paint damage, shown in photos.  Otherwise, paint is good, it isn't a super high-end paint job, but looks good and I think would look great with a professional buffing.

Glass and chrome are both very strong.

Mechanical:
I have no idea what the engine is in this thing, nor how it was built.  It is strong though!  It obviously has a cam, lumpy idle, but streetable. The NOS system has gas in it, but I haven't hit the button, so can't tell you more than that. Auto Trans, no idea what one, has a B&M shifter.

It has a full frame brace underneath and some traction bars.

The engine does seem to have oil pressure on the low side, I'm not familiar with these cars, so not sure, but it sits at about 10psi hot idle, 45psi at 3,000 rpm - it still has the oil in it that I know has been in for at least 4 years, no idea if the gauge is accurate either.  Does not smoke, starts easily and runs great, sounds good, no knocks, etc.

That is about all I know.  

I would not plan to drive this car any distance until tires are replaced and oil and other service performed.  

I do know that someone put a lot of money into this car and has taken car of it.  It will burn rubber as long as you have tire left on the rim, sounds great.

I am listing this car with no reserve because I truly don't know much about it and cannot tell you absolutely its condition.

Thanks for looking.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
