Chevrolet Nova Standard on 2040-cars
Pleasant Lake, Indiana, United States
I have owned this car for 11 years, I am not a flipper. This car has been my baby and treated like one. I have restored it twice and lets start with what I did eleven years ago:Floor pans wire brushed and replaced one patch panel passenger side rear. Sprayed with rush inhibitor and put sound proofing in and new carpetTrunk did not have any holes. Wire brushed and sprayed rust inhibitor and put sound proofing in. I was going to put carpet in but never didNew leaf springs and bushings and front rear shocksWire brushed frame and painted New radiatorNew quarter panels What I have done between then and two years ago:New coy wheelsRebuilt transmissionHeadlinerChanged fluid in rear endNew CD player/radioOil pressure gauge and water gaugeReupholstered front seatNew 350 Chevy crate motor from Jegs ( currently has about 4000 miles on motor ) Two years ago to present day:New paint Job (very nice, no orange peel with lots of wet sanding!)New door pins and bushingsNew dash padNew door panels still in the boxNew battery Shaved rear bumper and took out filler stripTook off rubber bummer stops in the front bumper and filled in all holes. (Both bumpers give the car a much better look now)Heater, all gauges, turn signals, break lights, running lights, all workNew door handles, door locks, and weather striping. New bezels FlawsSomething drains battery if car sits for more then 4-5 days. I have never tried to locate it because I don't drive it everyday. I put a quick disconnect on battery but it hasn't been an issue for meThere are two rubber pieces that run under the front bumper, the paint is cracking on those.I do not roll down the back windows because when I restored it two years ago there was a quarter glass run channel that they do not make for a 74 Nova. I took out run channel and put weather stripping in. I was not trying to cut corners, they just don't make this for this car! I will guarantee I have twice as much in this car as I am selling it for. The only reason that I am even selling is that I built a Rat Rod (1 year ago) and I just don't drive it anymore. This is not a perfect car or a show car but a very, very nice driver that turns a lot of heads. I have gotten a lot of complements on it over the years. Any questions feel free to call me or text me. (812)584-1902. Thank You

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
