Hello all, this is my 1966 Chevrolet Nova 400 or/and Chevy II. This is an original 283 V8, two speed powerglide car. The VIN indicates: 1: GM, 16: V8 Chevy II Nova, 69: 4 door 6 Passenger, 6: 1966, W: Willow Run, 

MI.  Pretty rare for a 4 door.  Although now it now has a 280hp 330 Ft. Lb. 305 in it with a "K" case TH350 3 speed trans, Lokar shifter and 8.2 10 bolt. PLEASE: Serious BIDS only.  Call Jeff with any questions or 

before bidding so we can talk business, 951-764-5573. The engine is worth $5000 alone.  This is a drivers car; something you can drive everyday, not worry about door dings, scratches and such.  If I were to keep this 

car, which is possible, I'd suicide the rear doors, lower it, put bigger wheels and tires on it, TCI front clip, etc.  This is very fun car to drive, it even gets 18-22 MPG when you're not on it: thanks for looking.


As for the engine, we picked a Performer Edelbrock cam and intake combination. Part numbers: 2102 cam and lifter, and 2104 intake. We chose some flat top pistons with 10.2:1 compression. I spent about 12-14 hrs

 on the heads, bowl blending and getting them to look like CNC machined heads. These heads have 1.86 intake and 1.5 exhaust valves and fabricated valve covers. Felpro gaskets, king bearings, stock crank and pink 

rods. An aluminum radiator, spal electric fan and a Flex-a-Lite 17,000 GVCW trans cooler keep this thing cool. There is a 600cfm Holley vacuum secondary carb on top with an Innovate wideband for ease of tuning. I would recommend a wideband air fuel meter to anyone tuning or driving a carbureted vehicle. It tells 

you any air fuel mixture and when it is OFF, which seems to happen often if you don't drive your car often. A Mallory Unilite Distributor with Accel plug wires and Splitfire plugs.  A Jacobs performance coil sparks all 

that fuel coming from that Holley 600 CFM carb. Expelling through a custom 2.5" Flowmaster exhaust, 40 series 2 chamber design for optimum "noise disturbance"!  It's loud ;)


Brand new gas tank and sender, rebuilt 10 bolt rear end with new carrier bearings, axle bearings, pinion bearings, 3.08 gears. All new single master cylinder, drum brakes and lines, rebuilt steering components with 

bushings and caps, rear sump pan, power steering linkage but no ram or box, stock suspension but will need new bushings. Custom Flowmaster exhaust, coated ram horn manifolds, 2 chamber Flowmasters so it's 

loud and obnoxious. New 1330 u-joints so they are bigger and stronger than the 1310 stuff. Rebuilt TH350 with 2-3 stage shift kit; will chirp tires on the fwy!!!! Not very safe if you'd ask some, but fun!!!!

There is so much to list about this car, I could tell you about every inch but it's late, don't feel like typing anymore. So just call me, text me, email me, Skype, whatever. Jeff, 951-764-5573. It will chirp the tires from 

second to third; ON THE FWY!!!! Fun, Fun, Fun. Most body work has been done with it being painted in a flat black primer; needs minor work near the gas cap area and will need to be taken down again if you

 wait too long. Clear title and current Tags!!!!

This is a rust free California car and fast. I definitely would not sell this car unless my situation called for it, so my 66 has to go. Unfortunately my son and I picked a car that is very light and it was too fast for my 

teenaged son to drive; responsibly. It was totally his fault too. At 14 he can build some serious engines, or he got lucky for his first time. We built a 305 that dyno'd at 215hp and 255ft lbs. at the rear wheels!!!! With a 

30% drivetrain loss that is 280hp and 330 ft. lbs. at the crank ;) There is no way I'm gonna let my teenaged son drive this car. I remember my first car and no way, he'll kill himself. That being said, this is a very fun 

car to drive as an adult. It blows the one tire off in 1st gear, then gets the car sideways on the shifts and pulls hard to redline. I have not had a chance to take it to the drag strip though, my guess is 13's, 12's with good 

traction. Current Tags!!!!


This car still needs some work and a few parts, just check the pics.  The interior needs finished, some body work, and paint. Here is another list of parts that you will still need.

  1. Headlight Bezels
  2. Lower Valance Trim
  3. Dome Light Base, have Dome
  4. Spare Tire J-Bolt and Wing Nut
  5. Interior Upholstery is all there
  6. Dash Pad Renewed
  7. Door Panels Renewed
  8. Door handles and window cranks re-chromed
  9. Clean Carpet
  10. E-brake handle
  11. Rear E-brake cable(the longer one)

2015 Chevy Impala Bi-fuel burns CNG, starts at $37,385*

Tue, May 6 2014

Currently, the only natural-gas-powered passenger car offered for sale by an OEM in the US is the Honda Civic Natural Gas. Starting this fall, that long-running CNG car will be joined by a CNG-burning 2015 Chevy Impala for both fleet and retail customers. General Motors announced today that the car will start at $37,385, plus an $825 destination charge. That comes to $38,210 before taxes and options. Those options include two trim lines, the base LS and the upper-level LT. Chevy doesn't break out the details in the press release announcing the price, but you can see the trim details for the standard gas-powered 2014 Impala here. Exact information on the 2015 models is not available just yet, but GM spokesman Chad Lyons told AutoblogGreen that the equipment that you see listed on the site for 2014 is "almost exactly the same" as what will be available for 2015. The 2015 Impala gets around 19 city mpg on CNG, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. That means the LS will come with 18-inch aluminum wheels, electric variable-assist power steering, projector-beam headlamps, and 10 air bags. The LT adds an eight-inch touch screen with MyLink, premium Cloth interior and dual-zone automatic climate controls. The cost for this upgrade is unspecified. For CNG purposes, we can ignore the numerical prefix used for the gas-powered LT trims, since that denominates the engine type, and all the CNG models use a 3.6-liter engine with hardened valves and valve seats that can better handle natural gas. The trunk capacity also drops from 18.8 cubic feet to 10 cu .ft. in order to fit in the CNG tank that holds the equivalent of 7.8 gallons of gas. That amount of CNG should move you 150 city miles, which is around 19 mpg, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. With the addition of the gasoline on board, the overall range is 500 city miles. The car burns CNG when available and switches to gas with "no interruption" either when the tank is empty or when the driver selects the gas tank. Find more details in the press release below. GM says the CNG Impala will will be available nationwide this fall. CNG is a growing fuel in the US, thanks in part to fracking. The Civic Natural Gas, which starts at $26,640, is growing towards a nationwide availability. Next year, for example, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Detroit will allow CNG for the first time.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
