 You are bidding on a 72 Chevy Nova with 78,000 original miles.  A little back history on this car.  My father owned a auto body shop years ago and ordered his chevy parts from Strohl Chevrolet in Fogelsville PA.  The guy that would run parts out to the body shop bought brand new off the lot this 72 Nova.  It was always garage kept.  He then sold it to a relative who removed the original 307 and power glide transmission.  That guy tore the front end off and installed a 350 with a turbo 350.  He never completed this project and in turn sold it to the guy whom I bought it from.  The guy I got it from bought all kinds of parts to finish it and never got the chance.  It had been sitting in his yard for the past 12 years up on jack stands with covers over it. 

I recently purchased this car and put the front end back on and made it drivable.  The transmission was rebuild and had zero miles on it. I drove the car less than one mile since it has been running.  It had B&M trick shift fluid in it that looked like the day it was put in.  The transmission is shifted on the column.  It tends to bind going through the gears.  The linkage might need a little tweeking.  The motor is a 350.  I was told it is a 4 bolt main block out of a 71 Nova SS.  Has steel heads with an edlebrock intake and a 700 Holley carb.  Does have a cam in it.  Sounds very healthy. 

The car is solid.  The only issues with rust are around the passenger wheel well in that back.  This can be seen in the pictures.  There is a little rust on the driver side wheel well behind the mud flap.  A tree branch fell on the top of the drive side 1/4 and let a nice dent.  This can also be seen in the picture, as well as the dent on the door.  I was told the second owner was backing up into his garage prior to removing the original motor and trans and caught something with the door.  There was body work done to the driver side fender which now has primer on it.  The trunk floor is solid.  It is so original that there is still a factory window clip under the original mat. 

The interior is in very great shape.  There is a rip on the passenger side seat bottom.  Someone did cut up the dash where the radio goes.  They also put speakers in the kick panels.  Other than those few things very original as far as interior goes. 

I am selling this until the end of the month.  If the car does not sell I am keeping it and giving it the proper restoration it deserves.  I do have a clean and clear PA title that verifies and states that mileage of 79,001.  The car will need to be picked up from my residence.  Also included is a 12 bolt rear that I was told came from the same 71 SS Nova that the motor came from. Along with the 12 bolt the car had a disk brake upgrade from the 71 SS as well.  It will need an alignment.  There is also a set of tires and wheels that come with it.  The 2 corvette style rally's come with it, but they do not clear the front brakes.  

If there are any questions please ask and I will do my best to have them answered before the auction ends.  Please understand I do NOT live on the computer and might not be able to respond in a few days.

NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV

Tue, Feb 23 2016

The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:

GM tells 2021 Chevy Express and GMC Savana owners to park vans outside due to fire risk

Thu, Apr 1 2021

GM is telling owners of certain 2021 Chevrolet Express and 2021 GMC Savana work vans to park them outside and away from other vehicles and structures due to a fire risk. Additionally, the company is recalling 10,154 of the vans it believes to be at risk of catching fire. The breakout is 7,891 for Chevy and 2,223 for GMC.  Only vehicles equipped with the 6.6-liter V8 (the new-for-2021 engine option) are included in the recall, and it’s limited to vans produced on or prior to December 7, 2020. The problem stems from some anti-rotation tabs on the positive battery terminal that are too close to a fuse block assembly attachment post. This lack of clearance could cause the tabs to come into contact with the fuse block, causing a short circuit. GM points out that a short-circuit of this nature could cause battery drain or lead to a fire under the hood. Your warning for the time being will come in the form of a low battery voltage warning, or you might just wake up with an unexpected dead battery. GM says that it first opened an investigation into this problem on January 26 this year after it was notified of an underhood battery fire on a 2021 Express. The investigation found three other underhood fires and concluded that these fires were originating from the positive battery cable attachment near the fuse. This recall was officially posted on March 11 this year, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration just sent a notification out to the media yesterday. The fix is a relatively simple one. Dealers are going to remove a portion of the anti-rotation tab on both positive battery cable terminals near the fuse block assembly attachments. This increases the clearance and eliminates the risk of fire, GM says. The job will be done under warranty, and GM says it will begin contacting owners for recall work on May 3 this year.
