SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL ULTIMATE MAGAZINE PROJECT BLOWN PRO STREET/RACE NOVA
Here it is, perhaps the most involved and surely one of the most popular major magazine project cars ever created. This was Super Chevy Magazine’s Saturday Night Special Nova. Featured prominently in multiple issues of the magazine and the center feature of a special book on Novas, published by the editors of Super Chevy. This 1963 Nova SS has never been run and all the parts are as new. It started life as a showcase for Chris Alston’s Chassisworks’ then-new bolt-on front clip, installed in his shop in Sacramento and evolved over the course of its build into a full tube chassis car with the very best that the industry had to offer. Its chassis cradles a blown 421-inch small-block Chevy built by Klein Racing Engines. (Made over 800 horsepower with very minimal boost, on pump gas!) It has all the top-of-the-line parts starting with a Bow-tie block and Dart Raised Runner heads and topped off by a fully polished BDS 8-71 supercharger with a pair of Vrbancic Brothers/Carb Shop blueprinted Holley 850cfm blower carbs. There's all the top internals, forged stroker crank, H-beam rods, forged blower pistons, coupled with a cam belt drive, Billet Fabrication oil pan, Titan billet oil pump, MSD 7AL ignition, custom headers, evacupan air pump system, prelber, etc. Backing up the powerplant is a dual-disc, fully adjustable Titan billet clutch; the same type used in Alcohol racecars. It is a state-of-the art piece and is housed in a fully approved Lakewood scattershield and connects to a legendary, never used 5-speed Lenco planetary transmission! Out back is a Chassisworks custom Fab 9 narrowed rearend fitted with Strange Engineering axles and aluminum center section. The rear suspension is all business with Koni aluminum coilover shocks, stainless four-link with sway bar and wishbone track locator. There’s even a set of chromed wheelie bars! The front end is all Chassisworks (polished stainless steel upper and lower A-arms, aluminum rack, coilovers, forged spindles). Wilwood discs on all four corners and fully polished Weld Wheels billet five-star racing wheels get it rolling on massive Mickey Thompson rubber. There is so much more to this car that it would take a week to outline. This well-documented Nova deserves to be completed -- then DRIVEN. Everything is included, from a full compliment of carbon fiber AutoMeter gauges to custom-made Percy speed glass. All aluminum work is complete: interior, trunk, engine compartment! For more detailed description of the building of this project, do a Google search and you’ll find all you need to know. But please feel free to contact me via ebay mail (or reach out to me direct at 9O9215O757, anytime) if you have any questions and want added images. The car has been kept in a climate-controlled environment and is ready for a new home. This would be the ultimate street racer, bracket car or a perfect investment to finish and sell overseas where foreign car enthusiasts are gobbling up American iron for big bucks! Title is clear and in my name. No issues! I will do all I can to help arrange shipping to anywhere in the world at the buyer’s complete expense. This is the real deal and without question would cost a tremendous amount of cash to duplicate -- without the history of course! |

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
