You are bidding on a 72 Chevy Nova with 78,000 original miles. A little back history on this car. My father owned a auto body shop years ago and ordered his chevy parts from Strohl Chevrolet in Fogelsville PA. The guy that would run parts out to the body shop bought brand new off the lot this 72 Nova. It was always garage kept. He then sold it to a relative who removed the original 307 and power glide transmission. That guy tore the front end off and installed a 350 with a turbo 350. He never completed this project and in turn sold it to the guy whom I bought it from. The guy I got it from bought all kinds of parts to finish it and never got the chance. It had been sitting in his yard for the past 12 years up on jack stands with covers over it.
I recently purchased this car and put the front end back on and made it drivable. The transmission was rebuild and had zero miles on it. I drove the car less than one mile since it has been running. It had B&M trick shift fluid in it that looked like the day it was put in. The transmission is shifted on the column. It tends to bind going through the gears. The linkage might need a little tweeking. The motor is a 350. I was told it is a 4 bolt main block out of a 71 Nova SS. Has steel heads with an edlebrock intake and a 700 Holley carb. Does have a cam in it. Sounds very healthy.
The car is solid. The only issues with rust are around the passenger wheel well in that back. This can be seen in the pictures. There is a little rust on the driver side wheel well behind the mud flap. A tree branch fell on the top of the drive side 1/4 and let a nice dent. This can also be seen in the picture, as well as the dent on the door. I was told the second owner was backing up into his garage prior to removing the original motor and trans and caught something with the door. There was body work done to the driver side fender which now has primer on it. The trunk floor is solid. It is so original that there is still a factory window clip under the original mat.
The interior is in very great shape. There is a rip on the passenger side seat bottom. Someone did cut up the dash where the radio goes. They also put speakers in the kick panels. Other than those few things very original as far as interior goes.
I am selling this until the end of the month. If the car does not sell I am keeping it and giving it the proper restoration it deserves. I do have a clean and clear PA title that verifies and states that mileage of 79,001. The car will need to be picked up from my residence. Also included is a 12 bolt rear that I was told came from the same 71 SS Nova that the motor came from. Along with the 12 bolt the car had a disk brake upgrade from the 71 SS as well. It will need an alignment. There is also a set of tires and wheels that come with it. The 2 corvette style rally's come with it, but they do not clear the front brakes.
If there are any questions please ask and I will do my best to have them answered before the auction ends. Please understand I do NOT live on the computer and might not be able to respond in a few days.

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
