1962 Chevrolet II 400 Nova Convertible -Modified:

In 1962 all Nova’s were delivered with either a 4 or 6 cylinder engine. Starting in 1964 the V8 option was available with a 283. There were 23,741 convertibles manufactured in 1962 and we believe they were all made at the Willow Run, Michigan plant. This car was the second to the last convertible made with a VIN SN of 23740 according to Krause Publications-American Cars 1946 –1975. The restoration objective was to achieve a performance vehicle to a later year SS class.

During the period from about 1995 and 2010 the car had a frame off restoration and upgraded drive train including a rebuilt 305 V8 with appropriate transmission (Powerglide), 10 Bolt rear axle, Edelbrock carb & front wheel disc brakes. Engine rebuild specifications are not available. Attractive red vinyl seats and interior trim were installed. Original dashboard was retained without modification. It was purchased by the current owner in 2010 who has now completed the restoration including:

- Power steering

- New rack & pinion front suspension system.

- Body part alignment issues were fixed and the car was repainted to the white restoration color.

- Engine compartment cosmetics.

- Aluminum radiator.

- Custom chrome wheels and new tires.

- New brakes

- Air shocks.

- Convertible top was replaced and windows adjusted to achieve a much improved water-tight fit.

- Factory radio replaced with AM/FM/CD and 4 speakers.

Power brakes, power steering and AC provides the comfort features that you want. Owner has the prior owner wheels with spoke wheel covers.

Recent appraiser rated the car a 10 in all rating categories including body, frame, drive train, interior and exterior quality/condition. Appraiser quote “..stunning, straight as arrow…pristine overall condition..”

Recent appraisal available on request.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
