RELISTED Again!!! 1st time Nova was sold but due to extenuating circumstances the deal did not go through. I decided to keep it. Next time buyer checked on shipping and decided it was too expensive. Unfortunately I really do not have room for it. Hate to sell as it is a blast to drive and everyone loves the car.

Wheels in pictures do NOT come with the SALE. Nova is being Sold with a set of basic steel wheels and used tires. This will allow you to put on the wheels you want. (I do have a set of ORIGINGINAL 14 x 7 Rally Wheels and Tires on another auction. If you win the car and the wheels I will put them on the car for transit to you)

1966 Chevy Nova Convertible. As most of you know The Nova was NOT available in a Convertible in 1966. This car started life as a base model 4 door sedan with a 6 cylinder and a 3 on the tree manual trans. That is it. It was made into a convertible and the rear doors were welded in. I have owned many muscle cars over the years but this car gets the looks. My kids still love it and do not want to see it go. I just have too much going on. It is mostly original paint and interior. The quarters are resprayed as the doors were welded in. It is a real cool car to cruise around in. It has so much potential to be whatever you want it to be. This body looks great as a convertible.

GREAT GAS MILIAGE!!!

NO Rally Wheels go with car. (Was receiving a lot of interest last time in selling the car without the Rally's so buyer could put on there own wheels). The car runs and drives great. Everything works except the horn (Works just not hooked up at the wheel), the speedometer needle seems to have fallen off but the odometer works, and the indicators work but the cancelation cam needs to be replaced as you have to manually cancel. There is an antenna but no stereo. It has guages in place of the stereo (Temp, Oil Pressure and Volts). The Nova runs cool and oil pressure is strong. Always starts right up. Has a new battery and voltage regulator. Trans is strong and the clutch is great. Has newer brakes. Carb was rebuilt.

Body: The body is in good overall condition. It is solid in the back and trunk. There is some rust appearing on the lower rear of the front fenders. The floor is a little spotty in places with some sheetmetal pieces covering a few holes. The nice thing is no hacking has been done to the floor at all. It has a very solid engine compartment all the way back to the cown. The inside where the front door hinges are is showing some rust. On the top below the windshield on the passanger side is showing some rust. Not around the window frame though. The body is not saging but I was going to go all the way and support it for durability. The person who made the car welded a frame conector on the drivers side. I was going to get a weld in pair of frame connectors and add a rear sway bar. This would cost a total of $200.00. The frame connectors are less than $100.00. The other side does not have one. The doors are solid with surface rust at the bottom. I have an extra set of front doors that are complete with windows and are rust free for the winning bidder to have 1st right to purchase at $100.00 for the pair. The hood and trunk are in rust free condition. The rear quarter emblems are no included (See pictures). The front LH fender could use a little work. I have an extra original that goes with the car. The front of the LH door has a little damage to the sheetmetal only. The grille is nice and the trim is in good overall shape. Bumpers have nice chrome with a few dings and 1 dent in rear LH side of Bumper.

I have done some research and some people add the tops from a earlier Nova convertible with the windshield header. I was going to lower the front windshield and make it a roadster/speedster style Nova.

Interior: The interior is mostly original. The dash is solid with no rust at all. Under the dash is solid as well. It has its original front and rear seat. The carpet has been replaced and seats recovered at some point. It has seat belts for 2 people in front. (Rear Seat Belts in pictures have been removed) Someone added a bar across the back of the rear seat. It is like an amusement park ride bar. Kids have a ball with it. The heater is not hooked up. I would assume it needs a core and that is why it was bypassed. The lights all work. Turn signals work, They do not cancel though. That is a manual process. The wiper switch operators the wipers but there are no arms or blades. There is no door glass or window cranks in the doors or rear quarter sections. As you can see in the pictures there is a strip covering where the windows would go on the front doors. They can be added. I have the fronts in the extra doors but nothing for the rears. I had not plans of putting glass in it. Too cool the way it is.

The steering wheel on the Nova has been changed out to a custom aftermarket one.

Trunk: The trunk is in excellent condition with no rust at all. There is no spare tire or jack assembly.

Underside: The subframe, front inner fenders, rear wheel wells and trunk area are solid with no rust at all. As well as the subframe rails.

Engine: Runs strong with no noises. Has a Flowmaster mufler so it sounds pretty cool. These 194 6's have a lot of torque. The heater is bypassed

Trans: Shifts great and the cluch is solid. I was going to get a hump and add a floor shifter to it.

Top: Well, There isn't one. The well area has a simulated boot on the back.

It would cost a lot of money and time to get to this point with one of these cars when you can drive this one the way it is or fix it up the way you want and drive it at the same time. These are not inexpensive cars any more to acquire.

Watch My listings as there will be 73-74 Chevy Truck Parts and more 70-71 Cuda Parts coming soon.

I am more than happy to answer any questions so please ask any questions before bidding. Also ask to bid if you have less than 10 positive feedbacks. Been burned too many times in the past. I will cancel bids with less than 10 positive feedbacks if you do not ask before bidding!

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. There are many transport companies out there. I have found that Uship is a great way to find a shipper too.

$500 deposit via Paypal is due within 3 days of end of the auction. Remainder due within 7 days via Cash in person, Wire, Cashiers Check or Money Order.

Cadillac XT4 crossover to be built in Kansas City

Mon, Jan 8 2018

Cadillac's upcoming XT4, a crossover we've previously known as the XT3 in a long series of spy shots of heavily camouflaged mules, will be built at General Motors' assembly plant in Kansas City on the same platform as the Chevrolet Malibu, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the plan. That will give Cadillac another entry in the red-hot luxury crossover segment and, GM hopes, help to reverse a sales slump in the U.S. It'll also breath life into the Kansas City plant that makes the slow-selling Malibu, where GM cut a third shift last year, by sharing the assembly line between the crossover and sedan and defraying costs for each vehicle. The XT4 was known most recently as the XT3, with styling cues based on the Escala concept sedan from 2016. It's slightly smaller than the XT5, Cadillac's top-selling vehicle, and will also augment the full-size Escalade in Cadillac's stable of SUVs when it makes its expected debut later this year. Cadillac last week reported its second-highest-ever sales mark with 356,467 vehicles, an increase of 15.5 percent over 2016. But that mark papers over an 8 percent sales decline in the U.S. to 156,440 vehicles. The luxury brand is on a hot streak in China, where sales jumped 50.8 percent last year to 175,489 units.Related Video: Image Credit: Brian Williams Plants/Manufacturing Cadillac Chevrolet GM Crossover sales cadillac xt5 cadillac xt4 cadillac xt3

Smaller Cars Endure Big Problems On Crash Test

Wed, Jan 22 2014

In a crash test of 11 of the smallest cars on the market, only one vehicle received an acceptable rating. The rest received marginal or poor ratings in the study, providing evidence that supports a widely held notion that smaller cars are among the least safe on the road. No other vehicle group has performed as poorly on a new crash test than these mini cars, says the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the nonprofit group that conducted the testing. The latest results of which were released Wednesday. The Chevrolet Spark was the only car earning an overall "acceptable" rating on the small-front overlap test, and even that vehicle had its shortcomings, IIHS said. "Small lightweight vehicles have an inherent safety disadvantage," said Joe Nolan, the senior vice president for vehicle research at IIHS. "That's why it's even more important to choose one with the best occupant protection. Unfortunately, as a group, minicars aren't performing as well as other vehicle categories." The Mazda2, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris and certain Ford Fiesta models all received "marginal" overall grades on the test, while the Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, Toyota Prius C, Hyundai Accent, Fiat 500 and Honda Fit all earned "poor" ratings. Results from these sub-compact cars fare much worse than vehicles sized just a little bit bigger, IIHS said. Among 17 cars evaluated in the small category, five earned "good" ratings and five more earned "acceptable." Only introduced a year ago, the small-front overlap test has quickly become a key indicator of differences in automotive safety. IIHS introduced it as a way to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with a tree or utility pole at 40 miles per hour. In the real world, these sorts of accidents are more dangerous than others, in part because they bypass the front-end crush zones on most cars.

Without a grade of acceptable or better, they cannot qualify for the IIHS' overall Top Safety Pick+ honor, given annually to the safest models on the market.

2022 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate vs. 2022 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn vs. Ford F-150 Limited | Luxury truck interior face-off

Fri, Oct 22 2021

GMC's new uber-expensive 2022 Sierra Denali Ultimate is the latest luxury truck to nudge toward six-figure territory. With demand for upmarket half-tons surging, GMC's otherwise-solid pickup found itself in desperate need of an interior remodel. For 2022, we're getting just that, and it appears ready to take the fight to the segment's best, including the 2022 Ram 1500 Limited and 2022 Ford F-150 Limited. Here's the new Denali Ultimate interior in all of its full-grain, open-pore glory. 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate vs. 2021 GMC Denali  Not only did the material quality and styling both improve greatly, but the new truck also gets a completely different shifter setup (truck buyers don't like column shifters anymore, apparently). It would actually be difficult to overstate the quality of the upgrade here; the photos really speak for themselves. It's also worth noting that in addition to looking significantly more upscale than the model it's succeeding, the new Denali interior also differs a bit more from its Chevy counterpart than its predecessor did. Here's the new Silverado High Country for reference: While some elements do carry over, the entire dash design is different, down to the positioning of the heating and cooling vents. While the main HVAC controls are essentially carried over, note that they're pretty much the only ones. Even the horizontal bar of switches running along the center stack is positioned differently between the two. Yep. This is a pretty big upgrade over the 2021 cabin, and clearly the range-topper in GM's truck hierarchy. But what of the competition? 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate vs. 2022 Ram Limited Longhorn Southfork This one's tough. We're going to have to spend time in them back to back, but the Ram Limited, with its various anniversary editions and other special permutations, is certainly the interior to beat. To our eyes, the Sierra's more horizontal layout is a bit more modern and perhaps luxurious-looking than the more upright cabin treatment of the Ram, but it's tough to say for certain from photos. Both the Denali Ultimate and Ram Limited carry their upscale feel into their back benches too, which is something we can't say quite as confidently about our next contestant.  2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate vs. 2021 Ford F-150 Limited The Ford F-150 Limited holds its own, but it's probably the least photogenic of the models we've looked at here, at least apart from the outgoing Denali.
