This very clean, all original Chevy Nova belonged to an older man who at this point in his life was unable to sell the vehicle himself.  He purchased this Nova from the Chevy dealer in 1973 and has taken good care of it ever since.  The vehicle is now registered to me.  However, I do not have the time or the space at the moment to take care for this Nova like he has.


It is difficult not to be taken aback when you first get a glimpse of this ridiculously original Nova and have a chance to sit inside the cabin.  A couple of pumps of the gas pedal and finesse, and the six cylinder 250 fires up and will not stall as long as it is nice and warm.  I don't know much about older cars but this Nova seems to drive pretty smooth.  Transmission shifts well along with the transmission range selector and the vehicle easily comes to a stop.  Parking brake is also adjusted and functional.

All the original stickers are in the glovebox, under the hood and in the trunk.  Even the original "engine starting procedure" on the back of the sun visor.  Open the driver's door and you will see the original General Motors Co. sticker with the VIN number as assembled right here in the old Van Nuys, California assembly plant.  If you're a California buyer, the vehicle is smog exempt so you don't have to deal with the hassle.

Open the trunk and you will see the spare tire, vehicle jacking instructions and vehicle jack.  NO rust in the trunk and a carpet to cover it.  All the lights, connectors and hinges are clean and operational.

All body components such as the trunk, hood and doors line up and the nuts and bolts seem to have never been touched.  Walk around the car and you may see some dings and blemishes on the paint from the past 40 years of operation.  Windshield, door glass and rear window appear spot free.  And the door seals and moldings seem to be in fair condition given their age.  The rear bumper seems to have been warped a bit during routine parallel parking, although the rubber filling the gap between the chrome and vehicle body is in excellent condition and still the original color of the vehicle.  The B-pillar covers are a bit loose to touch.

Dash and steering wheel are in good condition (steering wheel has a spot wear next to the Chevrolet logo).  Instrument cluster lights up and the speedometer and fuel gauge seem to be fully functional.

You're going to need a set of four new tires.  Suspension seems to squeak a bit and the vehicle pulls a little to the right.  Power assisted steering makes driving this Nova effortless.  Although there is no spotting on the ground from what I have noticed,  I'm confident that there are some leaks possibly from the power steering or valve cover gaskets (but I am not sure as I have not had the time to spend with the vehicle).

All electrical components seem to be working such as the exterior lights, dome light, high beam switch, AM radio, horn, turn signal switch and door and seatbelt warning buzzer.  Although, again, I havn't spent too much time with the vehicle.  The heater and air conditioning do not work.  Manual windows and door locks are also operational and the door slam shut like a brand new car.  I am not aware of any leaks from the door seals as we do not get much rain here in rust free Southern California.

The seats are very clean with the exception of a slight wear and tear on the front bench and top of the rear bench.  All emblems and logos are in tact and original as the day the vehicle pulled off the dealer lot.  The plastic around the driver's side seatbelt is apart a bit.  The gentleman mentioned that the driver's seatbelt gets stuck sometimes when you are attempting to close it, but I have not come across this issue as they are fully functional.

Everything under the hood appears to be well maintained and clean (although I have not had a chance to spend much time under the hood).  The vehicle battery appears to be new and cranks over EVERY without hesitation.

I have tried to be as honest and descriptive as possible.  I can't think of anything else to say other than I wish I didn't have to sell this Nova.  If there is anything else that you would like to know about the vehicle please don't hesitate to contact me at (818) 599-5213 or email me at chevysupernova@gmail.com

This vehicle is sold AS IS with NO warranties or refunds.  Local pickup is available in Los Angeles, California.  Buyer is responsible for arranging to have the vehicle picked up or shipped.

Nissan sells 3,117 Leaf EVs in May, climbs over 3,000 for first time ever

Tue, Jun 3 2014

Chalk up a big win for the Nissan Leaf. In May, the world's most popular electric vehicle sold a record 3,117 units, the first time any pure electric vehicle has sold over 3,000 units in a month in the US (unless Tesla managed that feat but rolled the number into a quarterly report). This marks the 15th month in a row of record Leaf sales and the seventh where the Leaf was the top EV seller in the US. The challenge bar is set for someone to step up to compete with this all-electric wunderkind. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, in August 2013. The Leaf's one long-standing competitor, of a sort, is the Chevy Volt, which used to regularly outsell the Leaf but moved only 1,684 units in May. That's still an increase of 4.8 percent over 2013 but is part of a 4.5 percent decline in year-to-date Volt sales for 2014 compared to last year. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was October 2013. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, when it moved 3,351 in August 2013. Let's take another look at those 3,117 Leafs sold last month. They represent a 45.8 percent increase over May 2013, when 2,138 Leaf EVs were sold, so someone is doing something right in Japan and Tennessee. So far, Leaf sales in the US are up 36.4 percent year-to-date, to 10,389 EVs. That's just under half of the 2013 total, and it was accomplished in five months. In 2013, Nissan sold a total of 22,610 Leafs. Anyone want to hazard a guess where the total will be at the end of the year? As always, we'll have our detailed monthly sales write-up including other plug-in vehicles as well as hybrids and diesel car, up soon. For now, though, the big news is big Leaf sales. Read Nissan's press release below. Nissan Group reports May 2014 U.S. sales May 2014 May 2013 % Change Nissan Group Total sales (units) 135,934 114,457 +18.8 Nissan Division May sales 125,558 106,558 +17.8 Infiniti May sales* 10,376 7,899 +31.4 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan Group today announced total U.S. sales for May 2014 of 135,934 units, an increase of 18.8 percent over the prior year and a May record. Nissan highlights: Nissan Division set a May record at 125,558 sales in the month, an increase of 17.8 percent. This marks a monthly record for Nissan division in 14 of the last 15 months. May was the best-ever month for Nissan LEAF with 3,117 sales, an increase of 45.8 percent over the prior year. In May, LEAF passed 50,000 total U.S. sales since launch, further establishing it as the leader among electric vehicles.

Franchitti, Kanaan, and Dixon prank young IndyCar driver

Fri, May 22 2015

The 20-year-old Sage Karam is a rising star in racing after scoring the 2013 Indy Lights Championship and taking ninth place in the 2014 Indianapolis 500. He's now competing for Chip Ganasi Racing, one of the top teams in the IndyCar Series, and counts this year's pole sitter Scott Dixon and former winner Tony Kanaan as teammates. Of course, being so young and a new member of the squad, some lighthearted hazing is to be expected. Dixon, Kanaan, and three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti decided to play a little prank on Karam. While ostensibly detailing his Chevrolet Camaro, the three joking racecar drivers turned it into the Karamo. Check out the video above to see exactly what that means. After some scary crashes going into this year's event, it's refreshing to watch some cheery things happening at Indy.
