     I'm relisting my Super Sport Nova. I realized this week-end that I had it priced way under market value. Thanks TLC for making me aware of that. Would like to thank USA race team for their offer. We're not far off. In addition, I appreciate the rest of you guys I've spoken with that have shown what I believe to be a real and sincere interest. 
     The car actually speaks for itself. Fully documented with authentic original dealership paperwork, Protect-O-Plate, and buildsheet. 100% number matching drive train, 327/275hp 4-speed option with 60k real miles. Runs and drives incredibly well. Everything works as it should. Runs, shifts and drives very smooth.
     The top was replaced due to age. Have photos to ensure there are no rust issues. This is an entirely "rust free" car. It sat in storage a number of years. To ensure no internal damage the engine was pulled before attempting to crank it, then hot tanked, replaced bearings and oil pump, polished crank and rebuilt heads. 100% factory spec. Have pictures of all internals. It looked brand new inside when it was opened. Never street raced. The car is 100% unrestored beyond that. Original paint, interior, stainless, head and tail lamps etc etc. It was family owned and driven. I don't want to mislead anyone as the car looks a little better in the pictures, but not by much. The patina is a work of art in its own right. Good luck finding a real deal 327 4-speed option SS that retains original equipment not to mention unrestored and in the condition this car is in if you don't understand that. They are just not around. Those that are restored wish they could be original again. Guys that have restored them wouldn't have if they started with one in this condition. All of the black under the hood is 100% original. Price original hardware and stainless on one of these and you'll get the idea. You Nova guys understand it well.
     The billet aluminum wheels and tires are new. Original wheels, tires and SS spinner hubcaps are included.
     I spent Labor Day week-end looking at six of these. One with 20k documented miles which was the only true unrestored one of the bunch that wasn't in near the condition as this one. Not even close. Only two of the cars I visited had documentation to prove legitimacy. One was a 6 cylinder so it doesn't count really except the guy was firm at 35k. None of the 327 cars were true factory red although two had color changes made red. Each of them had rust issues or underwent rust repairs. None retained all original hardware. Prices ranged from 35 to 67k. Thus, the guys at TLC were proven correct as noted above and I appreciate their input. 
     This is not a forced sale. Have title in hand. I'd like to sell but not a must. It basically pays to own it. Cars like this only increase in value. If it doesn't sell before Spring I'll take to a super Chevy show or vacation with it at Pigeon Forge Swap Meet. But I figure Ebay is a great and convenient forum. If your looking for a real deal SS to make the trailered car guys ill, this is one that will. The price is 55k or best offer. Please, serious inquiries only. Thanks for looking.

2018 Woodward Dream Cruise: What to know and where to go

Fri, Aug 17 2018

If there's anything that proves Detroit's motor-oil-in-the-veins, gearhead bonafides, it's the annual Woodward Dream Cruise, which will bring an anticipated 1.5 million or so people from near and far, plus tens of thousands of classic and custom and just plain weird cars, to a 16-mile portion of Woodward Avenue on Saturday for the 24th year. Loved by gearheads, collectors and the merely curious, who see it as the Motor City's version of Mardi Gras, and loathed by others, who deride it as the world's largest traffic jam, the Dream Cruise is nothing if not an explosion for the senses. What will you see there? Well, as Autoblog Managing Editor Greg Rasa put it last year, "There are historic cars. And works of art. Some are worth vast sums of money, and some are rat rods and rust buckets. And some are bizarre creations that make you ask, 'What were they thinking?'" A few things are certain: You will see many incredible automobiles. There will be plenty of T-shirts and other merch, official and not-so-much. It will be crowded, and probably hot. The Cruise will officially go from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., though of course cruisers have been out already for weeks. And there are plenty of attractions, both on and off the pavement of Woodward. Tony Michaels, the Dream Cruise's executive director, said the event is special for the Detroit region. "Together we celebrate the automobile and what it has meant to us," he told Autoblog. "To see the these fantastic vehicles and the proud owners says so much about who we are and our pride. "People should take it in to see history running 16 miles down Woodward Avenue and to be a part of the greatest automobile event in America." Ford is once again serving as the Dream Cruise presenting sponsor and will hold the 20th anniversary of the Mustang Alley at the corner of Nine Mile and Woodward in Ferndale, where it expects as many as 1,000 Mustangs to line up. It will also show off its lineage of trucks at 13 Mile, along with several performance vehicles at Duggan's Irish Pub at 31501 Woodward in Royal Oak. The company on Thursday unveiled the 2018 Mustang Cobra Jet drag car to celebrate the nameplate's 50th anniversary. Just 68 examples are planned of the $130,000 limited-edition model Other Ford activities include: Sales of tickets for a raffle of a one-off Kona Blue Mustang Bullitt, starting at the media clubhouse at 2 p.m. Friday. The raffle itself takes place in November and will support juvenile diabetes research.

GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'

Mon, Mar 17 2014

As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.

This is how GM is hiding new Chevy Volt in public

Wed, Oct 1 2014

General Motors is letting the public know that, well, it's not about to let the public know anything else about the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. But the automaker is willing to talk about its camouflaging process for upcoming versions of the extended-range plug-in. So it's a half-hearted secret, at best. GM actually has a "camouflage engineer" charged with creating ways to disguise the styling of new vehicles. In the Volt's case, the company is applying black and white swirly color patterns on top of the materials, such as plastics, vinyl and foam, that are used liberally across the body. It's all part of a teaser campaign that started last month with pictures of part the 2016 Volt. Earlier this month, GM said it was keeping track of Volt drivers' habits as it works on the next-gen model. The company noted that more than four out of five trips are being made in all-electric driving mode, and that 60 percent of Volt owners use a plain-old 100-volt outlet to recharge their cars. The car is slated to make its global debut at Detroit's North American International Auto Show next January, and the early word is that performance and all-electric range will be improved (we should hope so). The car will also be sleeker. By how much, we can't tell yet, because of those darn swirly patterns. GM's got more non-details in its press release below. Engineers charged with hiding styling while vehicle testing proceeds in public DETROIT – The styling of the next-generation Chevrolet Volt is one of the automotive world's best-kept secrets. Keeping customers and media eager to see the successor to the groundbreaking original at bay until the new Volt debuts at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January is tricky business. First, it is engineers, not designers, who are charged with creating camouflage that balances styling secrecy with the need to validate the Volt and its systems in public. "If it were up to me it would be a shoebox driving down the road," said Lionel Perkins, GM camouflage engineer. "The design team wants us to cover more of the vehicle and the engineering team needs to have enough of the vehicle's weight and aero exposed so that the tests in the development process are consistent with the product that will come to market." The engineers responsible for the "cool" designs covering the car might deserve style points but their efforts are intended strictly to hide the metal beneath.
