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.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
