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)

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study

Wed, Jul 22 2015

The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car. Check out the official release on the 2015 APEAL Study, available below, from JD Power. 2015 U.S. APEAL Study Results The latest safety-related technologies are among the drivers of customer satisfaction with new vehicles, according to the J.D.

China's rise, global restructuring wither GM's Korea division

Wed, Jan 7 2015

An article in the Daily Kanban suggests the sun is setting on GM Korea, and it could already be well into dusk. GM Korea came about when General Motors, along with co-investors SAIC and Suzuki, bought Daewoo Motors from parent company Daewoo Group in 2001; it had a previous tie-up with GM, a joint venture that ended in 1992, although Daewoo cars were based on GM cars until 1996. Over the decade following the purchase, it became such an important part of operations that it was renamed GM Korea in 2011, "to reflect its heightened status in [the] global operations of GM." Just two years later, the printed rumors were that the subsidiary responsible for a fifth of Chevrolet's global production could be shutting down. The division's sales were down almost 21 percent through November of last year, counting domestic South Korean sales, exports, and CKD – Complete Knock Down – products. That makes the labor strife, already an issue for four years, even more acute, reports say the subsidiary will lose $36 million a year if it can't get the job and wage cuts it wants, and government concessions can't make up for the losses. And it gets worse, so head over to Daily Kanban to read the rest of the story.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Liftgate Struts may Fail and Liftgate may Fall Report Receipt Date: JUN 30, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V415000 Component(s): STRUCTURE Potential Number of Units Affected: 686,287 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) BUICK ENCLAVE 2008-2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2009-2012 GMC ACADIA 2007-2012 SATURN OUTLOOK 2007-2010 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured January 3, 2007, to February 29, 2012, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured July 6, 2008, to February 29, 2012, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured September 15, 2006, to February 29, 2012, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook vehicles manufactured August 17, 2006, to March 18, 2010. The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
