This Nova started out as a Oklahoma Rust Free 78 Nova Rally with a 305.. I have changed it to the SS package during the restoration. Its has been painted the original GM Hugger orange that was a factory nova color until 1976. The paint in urethane with clear coat. The bumpers and trim is very nice. undercarriage is clean and painted as well with new fuel tank, brake lines, and suspension. The rear end is a 8.5 GM Posi with 4:11 gears and is totally rebuilt drum to drum,The trans is a fresh rebuilt th350 man/auto valve body, with a hughes 2200-2500 stall converter. The engine is a .040 over 350 vortec with a .500 lift roller GM performance cam, vortec. 062 heads, full roller rockers, flat top KB 2 valve relief pistons, Performance Products air gap intake, Holley Vac. Sec. Carb. The car runs very well. The interior has been upgraded to 2000 Trans Am leather seats and console. The driver seat is power. Most everything in the interior is either new or restored. Sound deadner and insulation was installed for a quiet ride. The rare factory rally gauge cluster 120mph speedo and tach are not functional all other gauges are working as they should. I added another tach and I use my GPS for speed. The stereo is an Alpine with Alpine 6x9’s and custom 6” in the kick panels. Wheels are Weld Draglites. Trunk is finished as well. I drive this car a few times a month during the summer months and it’s a pleasure to drive. Every inch of this nova has been either replaced or restored. You would have a very hard time finding another nova this nice for my asking price. It’s as nice in person as in the pics. Nothing to hide. Any questions just ask. I really am not needing the money so it’s not like it has to sell. I just have another project waiting in the garage. I will assist your shipper with loading and meeting if this is your choice of picking the car up. Cash in hand if picking up and if you are sending a Cashiers Check it must clear my bank before the car leaves my garage. Usually 5-7 working days. You won’t be disappointed.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
