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.

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race

Thu, Sep 8 2016

The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.

A conversation with GM's Mark Reuss on MPG, aluminum and Corvettes

Wed, Feb 19 2014

There was plenty to talk about when General Motors hosted its annual mid-December holiday media reception a few months ago. GM had just decided to pull its global Chevrolet brand out of major European markets, where Chevys have competed directly with GM Europe Opel and Vauxhall vehicles, and the US government had sold its last remaining shares of GM stock. But most important was the company's just-reshuffled leadership. Post-bankruptcy CEO Dan Akerson had announced that he would step aside and that 52-year-old Mary Barra would replace him on January 15. Not only would she be the first woman to lead a major automaker, she would also be GM's first engineer CEO since Bob Stempel in the early 1990s. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors" - Mark Reuss Replacing her as executive VP for global product development (and purchasing and supply chain) would be 49-year-old Mark Reuss, who had served a stellar four years as North American president, and elevated to corporate president (from executive VP and CFO) would be 42-year-old Dan Amman. All three are relatively young auto enthusiasts who are liked and respected inside and outside the company, and their collective talents and experience are highly complementary. I've interviewed Barra and found her smart, personable and knowledgeable, though she carefully walks the corporate line in speaking and answering questions. I met and chatted with Ammann for the first time at that holiday reception, and he made a good first impression. But I've known Reuss for some time as a genuinely good guy and a highly capable and inspiring leader, and I believe he is exactly the right person for the global product responsibility once famously held by the outspoken, oft-controversial Bob Lutz. So I jumped at an opportunity to join a group interview of Reuss (with mostly business reporters) at the Detroit Auto Show in January. It was an interesting session of mostly good questions, which he answered with refreshing candor and humor. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors," Reuss said. "We've taken down almost every plant in North America, converted and turned it this last year, and to do that with award-winning vehicles and pretty flawless launches is key. We have to keep the train rolling on great product, because the rest won't happen without the best product, period." A reporter asked whether GM was pushing big trucks, SUVs and Corvettes again because gas is cheap. "No," Reuss said.
