Well it is time to sell my 1967 Nova SS (True 118 Car). I have owned this car for 30 years now, first car I ever bought. It has seen a few changes in its life. Stock, street racer and now Pro-Touring. Every nut, bolt, glass, chrome, stainless, etc is ALL NEW!!

These days the pro-touring scene can feel a bit like the pro-street scene – a bunch of show cars built solely for aesthetics. Sure, they all look good with wide wheels and giant brakes, but how many could successfully conquer an autocross course? The number is probably smaller than you think. It’s why we never get tired of builds like 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS. Sporting a 500hp Carbureted LS1 Carbureted, a Built 700R4-speed, an industrial strength drivetrain.

So where do you begin with a Nova like this? Probably on the outside where rust-free California sheet metal served as the foundation. Charlie’s Auto body in Riverside took care of the paint and body and certainly did a great job transforming this Nova into a show stopper. The first thing that jumps out is the color 2008 Dodge Viper Blue. There were no less than three blues available on the ’67 Nova but this one doesn’t compare to any of them – it’s more vibrant and lustrous than factory colors could dream of being in the era. Another huge factor is the body work below that top coat. Behind the laser straight quarters, the car has also been DSE mini-tubbed to accept a 10-inch wide wheel.

Pro-touring is about usable power – not just big numbers on a show board. With that in mind, it’s hard to think of a better platform than GM’s LS1. I built this engine to move, on paper it shows about 500hp to the flywheel. I never had the car Chassis Dynod, but I wanted too. Hand ported LS6 (243’s) which flow great. These heads are also milled to bring the compression to 11.1 so I can run pump gas (91octane). MSD ignition runs all the engine electronics. The FI was removed and I opted for carburation to make it look old school. It has an Edelbrock Vic Jr. intake manifold and a 780CFM Pro-Systems Carburetor.

Take a look underneath this Nova and you’ll find even more high-tech hardware and meticulous workmanship. The stock sheet metal front end is supported by a full Church Boys Racing (CBR) Chevy II front which houses tubular upper and lower control arms, double adjustable Viking coilovers, a splined sway bar, and manual Rack n Pinion. The updates continue out back where a factory 1966 Chevy II 12 Bolt posi(very rare) with a Eaton posi and 3.73’s. Ridetech four-link system works with a set of Viking coilovers to keep the rear planted. The 4-wheel Wilwood brake system consists of 14-inch front and 13-inch rear, fed by braided hoses throughout.

The custom interior is very soft custom black vinyl and suede accents, custom door panels and headliner in suede also. I made the custom console and added the Pioneer 7” Navigation system. This has new Nu-Relics 4 power window kits and billet switches. The factory bucket seats have TMI sport seat foam added for a more comfortable ride and sport feeling. The custom stereo uses the Pioneer 7” Head unit with NAV, 1200W Belva 12” sub woofers, 2 6x9 Pioneer rear speakers and 2 5.5 Pioneers for the front.

Here's how the EcoCAR 3 teams are going to green up their Camaros

Tue, Nov 10 2015

Plug-in hybrids were probably not what the Dead Milkmen had in mind when they wrote their 1985 alt-punk classic Bitchin' Camaro (OK, we're not really sure what they had in mind), but we're certainly fans of the effort. The 16 college teams competing in the third version of the EcoCAR green-vehicle contest have declared which powertrains they will attempt to build for maximum environmental friendliness. They'll be working with 2016 Chevrolet Camaros that General Motors is donating to the competition. The US Department of Energy is also helping to fund the competition. Out of the 16, all but one will go with a plug-in hybrid powertrain which switches over from electric power to an engine powered by E85 (i.e., an 85-percent ethanol blend) when the juice runs out. Those schools include the University of Alabama, Arizona State, Mississippi State, Ohio State and Penn State. The lone dissenter is the team from the University of Tennessee, which is going with a hybrid vehicle powered by E10. This past spring, Ohio State was named winner of Year One of EcoCAR3, winning $10,000 in the process. THE Ohio State University (as students and alumni like to call it) also won the overall competition for EcoCAR 2 last year. The vehicle used in that project was a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, and OSU also used a plug-in hybrid/E85 combo to take the big prize. Take a look at the list of schools and their powertrains of choice for EcoCAR 3 here. Related Video:

GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue

Sun, Jan 4 2015

General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.

GM adds 1,200 jobs at Detroit-Hamtramck plant

Thu, Oct 22 2015

General Motors is making a big move at its Hamtramck, MI, factory, announcing it will add a second shift and hire over 1,200 workers within the next several months. It's expected that by early 2016, the factory will employ over 2,800 workers to build the Chevrolet Volt, Impala, Malibu, Cadillac ELR, and by early next year, the new CT6. According to GM Hamtramck spokesperson Courtney Zemke, 40 of the 1,200 positions are for salaried employees, while the remainder will be hourly positions. As for where these employees will go, positions are being made available across the factory, so GM isn't focusing on any particular area for its new hires. It's a similar story behind the hiring surge itself. GM said in its press release that the "second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand," a position Zemke reiterated. It's a matter of demand across the plant's portfolio, rather than any one particular product seriously outstripping supply. Naturally, the United Auto Workers is happy with the move. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest said in the attached release. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." Hiring is going on now, with the second shift slated to get underway in early 2016. GM's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly to Add Second Shift and More Than 1,200 Jobs Plant will nearly double its workforce by early 2016 2015-10-22 DETROIT – General Motors is nearly doubling its workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly by adding a second shift and more than 1,200 hourly and salaried jobs. The addition of a second shift will increase the plant's workforce to approximately 2,800 people when hiring is completed. The second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand for the five cars produced at Detroit-Hamtramck. "This is the result of the award-winning vehicles Detroit-Hamtramck produces and the confidence GM has in our team to build world-class quality for our customers," said Plant Manager Gary West. Second shift hiring is underway, and the shift is scheduled to begin operations in early 2016. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," said UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." The 4.1 million-square-foot Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly opened in 1985. GM has invested $1 billion in the plant over the last six years, making it one of the company's most-agile manufacturing facilities in North America.
