My Dad has decided to sell his 63 SS Nova Convertible. He has owned the car since 1984 and I think it has been in Nevada since new in 1963. We restored it about 14 years ago and rebuilt the front end, rear suspension, new TH350 with shift kit, new paint, new interior, new top etc. The suspension was converted to 5 lug and wagon springs used on all four corners with a factory sway bar.

However, we reused the 327 that was in it but it only lasted for about 6 months. The car sat for the next 13 years, sometimes covered, sometimes not, sometimes garaged, sometimes not, but has been in a garage for the last six years.

We just installed a new 350 to replace the 327. We also just installed a new radiator, new gas tank, new hoses, battery and cables, rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, and more to go with the new engine. The trans has about 4,000 miles on it and the engine has about 100 miles on it. Exhaust is 2.5 inches with Flowmasters. The folding top assembly had been restored right before we got it and all top metal pieces repainted and detailed. The car was repainted a deep Maroon with Dark Grey seats and carpet and a Maroon top. Even the spatter paint in the trunk was Maroon flecked. Dad fabbed a firewall support bracket that's in the trunk and just needs to be bolted back on. Wheels are 15 inch Centerlines.

The car is in great shape and runs good.

Unfortunately, the paint did not hold up as well as the rest of the car. It is cracking in some areas and chipped on all four corners of the hood. There is no material rust in the car but there is some bubbling in the paint on the lower driver's side quarter. The trunk has some scale but is solid. No rust in the subframe, rockers or anywhere else.

This is a great, solid car that we've had for 30 years, but its time to pass it along to a new caretaker. Here are a couple pics and a link to many more.

$500 deposit required within 48 hours of winning bid. Car can be delivered within 400 miles for gas and trailer rental costs.

GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
