1975 Chevrolet Nova Coupe Pro Street W/nos Clean on 2040-cars

Burlington, Iowa, United States

If you're looking at this car, then you probably know as much as I do about it.  The car was abandoned in a storage facility, and I ended up with it.  I have a clear title in my name.  

So Here's what I do know:

Someone put a lot of money into this car.  I washed the care and dusted it, it has not been detailed.

Body:
I can find absolutely no rust on this car.  The undercarriage is very clean indicating it has not been driven in bad weather or winter since restoration.  The interior looks to be original with the exception of the gauges and shifter.  There is a small seam coming apart on driver's seat, about 2 inches long - shown in photos.  Overall, very nice condition. Carpet and mats are in very good condition. The trunk is clean, no spare.

The tires are all severely checked and all will need replacing, all hold air but leak.

It appears that something was dropped on the hood and there is paint damage, shown in photos.  Otherwise, paint is good, it isn't a super high-end paint job, but looks good and I think would look great with a professional buffing.

Glass and chrome are both very strong.

Mechanical:
I have no idea what the engine is in this thing, nor how it was built.  It is strong though!  It obviously has a cam, lumpy idle, but streetable. The NOS system has gas in it, but I haven't hit the button, so can't tell you more than that. Auto Trans, no idea what one, has a B&M shifter.

It has a full frame brace underneath and some traction bars.

The engine does seem to have oil pressure on the low side, I'm not familiar with these cars, so not sure, but it sits at about 10psi hot idle, 45psi at 3,000 rpm - it still has the oil in it that I know has been in for at least 4 years, no idea if the gauge is accurate either.  Does not smoke, starts easily and runs great, sounds good, no knocks, etc.

That is about all I know.  

I would not plan to drive this car any distance until tires are replaced and oil and other service performed.  

I do know that someone put a lot of money into this car and has taken car of it.  It will burn rubber as long as you have tire left on the rim, sounds great.

I am listing this car with no reserve because I truly don't know much about it and cannot tell you absolutely its condition.

Thanks for looking.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
