My wife and I originally bought this car from Alabama in hopes of making it a back-halfed car.  Unfortunately when we received the car, we decided that it was much too clean of a car to chop up!

So instead we pulled it apart, had new full quarters put on because some idiot cut the wheel lip off.  The motor was removed to allow us to soda blast the motor compartment.

Inside both doors and jams, also around the windows / front and back were soda blasted to bare metal.  There was absolutely no rust anywhere to be found in those areas.

The floor boards, the trunk pan, the undercarriage of the car are almost perfect! 

The doors open and close perfect and they have new felt and weather stripping.  Trunk opens and closes perfect, also has new un-installed weather stripping.  It was left off so you can see how clean and rust free that area is.

The interior of the car, along with the carpet and headliner are in very good shape.  You will need to get a new dash pad, as this one has cracks. 

The motor is Small Block Chevy, we were told that this is the original motor, we obviously have no clue if that's true or not.  We don't know if anything was done to the motor, as this is exactly the way we bought it.  However it starts right up, has great throttle response and sounds a little beefy but probably stock.  The Nova also has power steering.

Ok, now for the unfortunate details we need to list.

The lights have a mind of their own!  Everything worked, turn signals, lights, brake lights, when we got the car.  However, since the car has been sitting for about 8 months after putting it all back together, now only some of the things work, of course when they want to!  I assume it's just a ground wire somewhere.  Like I mentioned before you will need a dash pad and dash light bulbs.

The tires are just rollers, they hold air, but are junk.  The rims are in ok condition only.  They look better in the pictures, then they look in person.

The car can probably use a new back bumper.

The rear end I believe has a spool in it which means that every time you turn the car it makes a chirping noise from the tires.  Because both tires are turning simultaneously.  Obviously when you are going straight it is perfectly fine.  Some people like having it, some people don't. 

With all that being said, I am sure there may be a couple small things that might have to be fixed that we did not mention, but I think we listed everything.

Once again, you are looking at a very nice, very clean 1970 Nova. 

Fresh Satin Black paint with a good running motor.  The car has great looking interior and it is very structurally sound.  However, this is not a perfect car, so expect some imperfections, along with things that may need to fixed or changed to your liking.

The car is being sold with a notarized bill of sale from Alabama, because Alabama does not give you a title when you purchase a car made before 1975.  I can assure you, that you will not have any problems.  That is just the way some states operate.

We are selling the Nova with a very low reserve, we think you will be extremely happy with the car, especially for what we are asking for it.

This car is being sold locally and we reserve the right to end this auction at anytime.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will be more than happy to discuss any details with you.

Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Chevy previews 2016 Malibu ahead of New York debut

Thu, Mar 5 2015

With everything going on in Geneva this week, it would be all-too easy to forget that there's still stuff going on back home in America. And the upcoming new Chevy Malibu is a prime example. Chevrolet has announced that it is bringing an all-new Malibu to the New York Auto Show next month, teasing us with this preview image and a few enticing details. For starters, when we say it's all new, this time we mean it's all new. The next-generation Malibu has been built on a new platform that uses more high-strength steel to cut 300 pounds off the curb weight compared to the outgoing model. It's also got a wheelbase that's almost four inches longer, with shorter overhangs front and rear and a roofline that tapers stylishly and more gradually towards the tail. We'll have to wait a little longer – but not too much longer – to find out more, but in the meantime you can read what Chevy's telling us so far in the press release below. Born Again: Next-Gen Chevrolet Malibu Announced Larger, lighter and more efficient Malibu to be unveiled at New York Auto Show 2015-03-04 DETROIT – Designed to deliver more efficiency, connectivity and advanced safety features than ever, the next-generation 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will make its public debut at the New York International Auto Show this April. Using a blank slate approach, Chevrolet designers benefited from an entirely new architecture, which for Malibu includes a wheelbase nearly four inches longer than the outgoing model. That, in turn, provides increased rear legroom and interior space. Due to a higher-strength steel structure, the new Malibu is also expected to be 300 pounds lighter than the current model, which benefits the sedan's fuel economy and handling. "Malibu's gorgeous styling is the result of a masterful understanding of proportions," said Ed Welburn, General Motors' vice president of Global Design. "The roofline has been stretched rearward giving a more sleek profile, while the front wheels have moved forward and front and rear overhangs have been reduced. Along with the sculpted body side, these cues help Malibu appear more dynamic and sophisticated." More details about the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will be shared each week leading up to the vehicle's global debut. The 2016 Malibu is expected to go on sale by the end of 2015. Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 115 countries and selling around 4.8 million cars and trucks a year.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.

LG Chem ready to double workforce at plant that makes Volt batteries

Fri, May 15 2015

With a history that involves paying people not to work, the fact that LG Chem is going to hire more people for its electric-vehicle battery plant in Holland, Michigan is good news on a couple fronts for the Korean company. The South Korea-based LG Chem is holding a job fair at the factory about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids. The company wants to double its workforce this year to "several hundred people." LG Chem, whose factory notably makes the cells for General Motors' Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric vehicle battery, is looking for everything from technical operators to maintenance workers to production supervisors. The company held a previous job fair last September that resulted in about 40 people being hired. The prior year, though, LG Chem gained a measure of infamy after the US Department of Energy (DOE) discovered that workers were, for a time, getting paid to do absolutely nothing because low demand for battery packs made it cheaper for the factory to remain idle. With LG Chem also making electric-vehicle battery components for Ford, Renault, Hyundai, and Volvo, though, those lazy days appear to be long gone. Take a look at LG Chem's press release below. Show full PR text LG Chem Michigan Inc. 2nd Job Fair Will Help To Double Its Holland Workforce HOLLAND, Mich., May 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Chem Michigan Inc. (LGCMI) is conducting a 2nd job fair on Thursday, May 14 as part of the company's efforts to double the size of its production workforce in 2015. LGCMI is an air-conditioned, clean room production environment with strong opportunity for career growth. Over 250 people attended the first job fair and the company is looking for more people to help it grow with increased production volume and new models. The company is adding production equipment and new processes and expects to employ several hundred people by the end of the year. Globally, LG Chem has numerous automakers as clients for EV batteries including GM, Ford, Renault, Hyundai/Kia, Volvo, Audi and Daimler etc. The company's push to build its workforce continues on Thursday, May 14 with an all-day job fair at the company's facilities, located at 1 LG Way in Holland. The event will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and is open to everyone seeking employment opportunities with the company. Prospective candidates should plan to meet with members of LGCMI's staff to learn more about opportunities available at this market-leading, advanced-technology manufacturing company.
