1967 Nova Ss Pro Touring on 2040-cars
Eastvale, California, United States
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. Its 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. Charlies 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 doesnt compare to any of them its 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, its hard to think of a better platform than GMs 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 (243s) 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 youll 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 3.73s. 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.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
