Big Block Nova Super Sport Tribute with 454 and 4 speed (same body style as 1968, 1969, 1970, and 1971).

I bought this Nova shortly after retiring from the Air Force, and already completed most of the hard work. 

The body was all original and extremely solid.  There is currently no rust on the car.
 
Five years ago I had a "rat rod grey" paint job applied, along with some replacement quarter panel work (due to dents and very minor "dime sized" corrosion spots behind at least one of the rear tires.   

The Big Block has freshly machined 1970 396 "oval port" heads, and runs strong.  There is an HEI ignition, a nice set of ceramic coated "shorty headers" an edlebrock aluminum intake, and rebuilt Holley 780.  I believe the 4 speed is a 70's super T-10.  It now has a new clutch assembly, re-conditioned flywheel, and comes with a brand new $300 Hurst Competition Shifter Assembly.  The starter and starter wiring are also new.  The distributor cap, plugs, and misc hoses were recently installed in order to fire up the motor, which runs strong with open headers, and really needs to have a full exhaust system is installed before this beast is driven. 

Body is an extremely solid 1972 with no rust and 5 year old "rat rod" grey paint.  

Lots of reconditioned and new parts, including: clutch assembly, flywheel, starter, carpet, rear seat upholstery,  "pop-on" dash cover, new head-liner (in box), holly 780 "duel line single pump" carburetor, and brake power booster.  

The SS Hood is steel with  a 2 1/2" cowl, an SS Steering Wheel has already been installed.  Wheels are center-lines, front buckets and new carpet has not yet been permanently installed. 

Glass and trim are in excellent condition.  The stock power steering unit is on the vehicle, but a serpentine belt system complete with AC compression and power-steering unit also comes with the car (but will require the purchase of a later model water pump).

I've become increasingly unable to finish the work on this beast myself, so someone out there with the ability to finish this project could get a great deal.

Please email any questions to me through ebay, then check my feedback and bid with confidence.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
