Up for auction is a Really Nice 1972 Nova w/ 454.

I’m listing this 1972 Nova for a friend of mine and it is a clean one.  It is a very nice driver (not a trailer queen) and has limited flaws inside and out.  I’ll reveal everything I see and will reply to any emails or phone messages as quickly as I can.  This Nova is a very reliable & smooth running, I think you’ll be pleased with it and it’s priced very reasonably.  Feel free to call 662-560-4609 and leave a message if I don’t pick up or drop me a note through Ebay.  The owner has a Clear Title.

I will start with the outside.  First of all, I don’t see any rust on this car, underneath or on the outside.  The car does have a few small paint chips but nothing large, and the owner has a small bottle of touch up paint.  The doors close firmly and may be in need of a pin and/or a slight alignment to match up to the quarters (see pic).  The rear quarters have been replaced.  The paint color code is Radiant Red #756 (feel free to look it up in case the pictures may or may not show up correctly).  It has a nice paint job, again not a showroom finish but very clean.  The body is in good condition, straight and solid.  The front lower valance (just below the grill) has a crack see pic).  The glass is also clean (windshield, rear window and sides).  The rear windows do roll down partially (the driver side rear window needs assistance on the way up) and the doors are equipped with Power Windows (they work great, the ignition doesn’t need to be on either to power up or down).  The headlights are currently not working but will be (a horn was recently installed and I’m thinking they disconnected the headlights somehow), the parking lights, side lights, brake & turn signal lights all work.  The reverse lights do not work (these will require a switch connected to the shifter).  The wipers do work.  The hood is set up with a forward tilt Corvette style mechanism and is easy to mange.  The cowl hood is a nice touch, looks really sharp and has the only emblems on the car “454”.  The owner does have the original hood, this will go with the car.  Trunk pan and floor boards are clean (the trunk has a different style carpet in it, not the factory mat – see pic).

I am not certain of the wheel manufacturer, but they 14” rims.  The tires are P195/70R14 on the front (new) with a recent alignment, and P205/75R14.  Spare tire in the trunk w/ matching rim.

Now for the interior:  Black interior and shows nicely but needs a little attention, nothing urgent and I’ll note those later.  There is after market tach installed in the instrument cluster (right side of the speedometer).  The gauges all work and there are 3 extra gauges mounted below (Volt, Oil Pressure and Water Temp).  The dash pad is in good shape, a small tear on the driver side, down low.  There’s a vent missing on the passenger side.  The carpet, back seat, door panels, dash, rear deck sail panel are all in good condition.  Headliner is new and the driver side sail panel needs replaced.  Panasonic stereo/CD with 6” x 9” speakers.  The front seat is in good shape but when you sit down you can see a seam that’s coming apart, may need to be re-sewn or recovered.

Drive train consists of a 454 w/ Rocker Rollers and a mild cam.  It starts easily and has a very nice thump to it.  Very clean under the hood w/ several chrome components.  Automatic Turbo 400 transmission & shifts hard.  Some recently added items are new valve cover gaskets, alternator, transmission pan gasket & cooling lines to the radiator, B&M floor shifter, new 3.45 ratio rear-end, anti-sway bars (front & rear, all chrome) and modified suspension, new fuel tank, 4 wheel manual disk brakes w/ front hoses from calipers to frame rails.  The Nova also has headers w/ dual 2 1/2 inch exhaust with flow masters, all in great condition (the headers could use a new coating).  The car really sounds nice.  Chrome drive line and lower control arms.  Battery is mounted in the trunk and has a quick disconnect lever.

Firewall Plate is as follows:
ST  72-11427  L  25345  BDY
TR  751  A52    75  75    PNT
5D   9   639462   260188

This is a very nice Nova and a reliable driver.  While there are a few things missing or needing attention, they are small and won’t keep you from getting in it and driving off.  I have driven it and it runs strong and drives nicely.  The current owner has had this car for over a year, made some nice improvements and is ready to move onto another project.  We do not know the specifics on the engine but I can tell you it sounds good and runs well.  This is a non-A/C & non-power steering car.  Again, give me a call @ 662-560-4609 or send me Ebay emails and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.  The owner does have this car for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction if the reserve hasn’t been met.  This is priced to sell compared to other Nova’s I’ve seen, so I believe you will be pleased with this one.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.


On May-08-14 at 20:13:01 PDT, seller added the following information:

 OK, I heard from 3 Nova experts advising that even though this is a 1972 Nova front end, doors, VIN & title, the rear body of the car is a '73 / '74 series.  If you compare the rear side windows between the '72 & others, you can see a distinct shape.  Apparently this body swap is somewhat common and doesn't take away from the car and that it's a very nice driver.  So thanks to the 3 Nova experts, however I wanted to disclose this and not hide anything about the car.  My picture of the Nova with the hood up didn't load, so I'll be happy to send via email.  Thanks again for looking and call with any questions.

GM is training more first responders for EV emergencies in the U.S. and Canada

Mon, Jul 4 2022

GM is training more first responders to be able to handle emergencies involving electric vehicles. The automaker is "significantly expanding" its EV First Responder Training program in the United States and Canada as electric vehicle sales continue to grow. Its initiative will primarily focus on training firefighters and equipping them with the necessary knowledge about full electric vehicle technologies. GM says it's hoping to dispel misconceptions when it comes to handling EVs in emergency situations. One of those misconceptions is that water is dangerous around EV batteries — turns out the recommended way to put out lithium-ion battery fires is by using copious amounts of water.  Andrew Klock, a senior manager of education and development at the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), said: "The best way for the public and private vehicle fleet owners to rapidly adopt EVs is to train firefighters and emergency responders on how to handle incidents involving battery powered vehicles. The fire service has had more than 100 years to gain the knowledge needed to respond to internal combustion engine fires, and it is critical that they are now educated on EV safety." The NFPA held trainings of its own that had benefited 300,000 first responders, but it believes more than 800,000 members of the community still need further training.   GM previously piloted the program in southeast Michigan, but now it's conducting training events across Michigan and in Fort Worth, Texas, as well. Later this summer, it's bringing the program to metro New York City and Southern California. Participants will have to attend four-hour sessions, with up to two per day, held in various venues, such as fire houses and dealerships. Interested first and second responders can register through the program's dedicated website and earn a certificate from the Illinois Fire Service Institute if they score higher than 70 percent on the learning assessment by the end of their training.  The automaker already has a few EV models on the market, including the Chevy Bolts, the GMC Hummer EV and the Cadillac Lyriq. It has huge electrification plans for the future, though, and training responders could help make potential customers more receptive to the idea of switching to electric vehicles. GM aims to launch 30 EV models by 2025 and to exclusively sell EVs ten years after that. Related video: Green Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Safety Electric

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
