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.

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.

Best Convertibles for 2022

Thu, Jun 30 2022

The past decade has not been kind to the drop-top enthusiast. No matter which dealer you walk into, convertible models have been biting the dust left and right. Nissan Z? Audi TT? Buick Cascada? Volkswagen Eos? All gone. Remember the humble Chrysler Sebring/200? Well, you do now. Fortunately, though, the news isn't all bad. There are still plenty of options out there for those who absolutely must have a convertible. Whether you need something to haul behind your retirement cruiser, a performance car that can go toe-to-toe with the best in the world or just something that allows you to sling the roof back after a long day of on-location business meetings before catching the flight back to your everyday hustle and bustle, there's at least one cabriolet out there to suit your needs. Here are our picks and starting prices for the top convertibles in several categories for 2022.  For the frugal open-top lover: 2022 Mini Convertible ($34,650) Let's face it; gas ain't cheap. But open-top motoring doesn't need to be a wallet killer. The Mini is cheap (at least by 2022 standards) and an absolute joy to drive, so there's really no downside here ... except for the roof. Get it?    For the hardtop lover: 2022 Mazda MX-5 RF ($37,260) / 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible ($69,695) The number of hardtop convertibles has seriously dwindled due to weight concerns and the fact that fabric roofs have gotten so quiet, but there are still some options for those who prefer a more coupe-like look with the roof up. Our picks here are the delightfully Targa-like MX-5 Miata RF and literally any Corvette Stingray — even the hardtop has a removable roof!    For long road trips: 2022 Ford Mustang Convertible ($34,100) The first image that comes to mind for many who are told to visualize an American convertible is the classic Ford Mustang. It's not the only drop-top pony car out there, but thanks to the Camaro's tiny trunk, it's much harder to see the USA in a Chevrolet when a drop-top enters the equation. The Mustang has much more cargo space and a much larger opening, which is likely the difference between keeping your bags under lock and key or leaving them exposed in the back seat.    For towing behind an RV: 2022 Jeep Wrangler ($31,590) While many small runabouts make sense for towing behind a motor home (or nestled up inside a fancier one), the Wrangler has a serious advantage when it comes to RVing: it can easily be flat-towed.
