1966 Chevy Nova Gasser

 

Here is a recently built 1966 Chevy Nova Gasser. This is a current restoration that is 95% completed. The car has less than 500 miles on it since it was titled. There have been hundreds of man hours getting this Nova to its present state. The car gets a lot of attention every time it goes out. Here are some of the major features of this car –

  • 454 Chevy big block; bored .060 over
  • Corvette 427 closed chamber high performance heads; casting # 3873858, with new valves and mild port and polish
  • New Scat connecting rods with new Wiseco 10-1/2 to 1 compression pistons.
  • 427 forged steel crankshaft – internal assembly balanced
  • Classic Edelbrock TR2X dual quad high rise with 2new Holley 600 double pumper carbs and electric fuel pump.
  • New Comp solid lifter cam and valve springs with Harland Sharp roller rockers.
  • New electronic ignition and distributor
  • New Mcleod hydraulic throw-out bearing with new clutch and pressure plate.
  • Muncie M21  4-speed  tranny that was professionally rebuilt to M22 Rockcrusher specs including new gears and steel mid-plate.
  • New Lakewood scatter shield.
  • New custom driveshaft by Denny’s Driveshaft’s.
  • New oversized aluminum radiator with dual electric fans.
  • Specialty Cars (out of California) front straight axle kit with double tube axle and heavy duty springs.
  • Professionally narrowed Ford 9” rearend with rebuilt posi center section; 411 gears and new Moser axles.
  •  Competition Engineering back half kit with 4 link rear suspension – fully adjustable.
  • 6 point roll bar with removable side bars
  • New Prostar wheels both front and back.
  • Mickey Thompson front tires, 24 x 5 x 15”  -  back tires: 29 x 18.5 x 15”

 

The body has new front fenders, door skins, and quarter panels. The car is painted a Thunder Gray Metallic with clear coat. I have the original steel hood which needs cut and painted to clear the carbs. I do have 3/4 of a gallon of paint and 1/2 gallon of clear. The car has all the original chrome and glass which is not in mint shape. If you are looking for an Autorama trailer queen; this is probably not the car for you. However, if you are looking for a fun, fast car to drive to shows that gets a lot of attention; then this could be the car you have been looking for. The car needs a little more attention to get it complete; but all the hard and expensive work has been done. The car has a new Painless wiring harness that needs trimmed and tucked under the dash. There is no heater or wipers installed; but I have the necessary components. The car has never been raced on the street or at the track.

I have the original front fenders; they need work; but can be repaired and sold. I have the original radiator and a bunch of misc items. Also, I have a used set of .060 over 13 to 1 compression pistons and rods for this motor – everything goes with the car.

Thanks for looking.

The car is sold as is with no Warranty.

General Motors Recall List

Wed, Oct 22 2014

It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.

Chevy Volt owners log half a billion electric miles, 2015 production starts

Thu, Jun 19 2014

As General Motors gets ready to start 2015 Volt production Monday, Chevrolet is looking back at some of the numbers that got the car to where it is today. The headline number is that Volt owners have collectively put more than a half-billion electric miles on their cars. The unsurprising upshot is that, if you went out and bought a Volt, you're pretty keen on getting as many electric miles out of it as possible. 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. The typical Volt driver goes 970 miles between fill-ups, GM says, and that means that 63 percent of all miles are done on battery power. General Motors executive director Larry Nitz gave AutoblogGreen a few more details on the usage habits of Volt drivers, including that 81 percent of commuting miles are electric. Two-thirds of US Volt drivers charge their vehicle 1.4 times a day, a clear indicator of drivers trying to maximize electric miles through opportunity charging. In fact, Nitz said, 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. GM also says that the Volt's official 35 miles of electric range is still doable for many owners who have had their car for more than 30 months. Looking ahead, we know that one upgrade for the 2015 Volt will be 4G LTE connectivity that can turn the car, like others in the GM family, into a mobile wifi hotspot. We're of course much more interested in when GM is finally going to start production of the next-gen Volt, but GM officials would only tell us that they're very excited about the still-secret vehicle, promising we'll be learning more "soon." Nitz did confirm that today's Volt drivers are most interested in three things from the next-gen model: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. He did not say whether or not GM will be able to deliver on those requests. Chevrolet Volt Owners Surpass Half a Billion Electric Miles After 30 months of use, a sampling of Volts shows consistent all-electric range 2014-06-19 DETROIT – Since its launch in late 2010, Chevrolet Volt owners have accumulated more than half a billion all-electric miles. Additionally, based on a General Motors' study of more than 300 Volts in service in California for more than 30 months, many owners are exceeding the EPA-rated label of 35 miles of EV range per full charge, with about 15 percent surpassing 40 miles of range.

Chevy Silverado Special Ops will go into limited production

Tue, Dec 15 2015

Remember the Special Ops edition Silverado? Chevy showcased it as a show truck at SEMA last month. And now it's going into limited production, and proceeds will support the National Navy SEAL Museum. The special pickup was based on a Silverado 1500 in Z71 spec and done up with a special three-tone paint job inspired by the camouflage used on 20th-century warships. Known as Razzle Dazzle, the camo was designed to disguise a ship's form and movements from enemy vessels. Chevy also fitted the show truck with a sport bar, off-road LEDs, lower- and under-body reinforcement, and flared wheel arches packing special 20-inch wheels. Following its debut at SEMA, former GM chairman Dan Akerson (a US Naval Academy alum) and retired Navy SEAL Master Chief Rick Kaiser presented the concept truck at the 116th Army-Navy football game this past weekend. Chevy hasn't said just how many it will build and at what price, but production is slated to be "limited," going on sale in the spring.

Everest Team to raise Post Traumatic Stress Disorder awareness - GM Military Discount expands to include all veterans PHILADELPHIA – For the sixth consecutive year, Chevrolet is the official vehicle sponsor of Saturday's Army-Navy Game. During the game, Chevrolet will honor military service men and women, particularly its special forces. Former General Motors Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, will join retired U.S. Navy SEAL Master Chief Rick Kaiser, executive director of the National Navy SEAL Museum, to salute the special forces during the presentation of a Chevy Silverado Special Ops Concept vehicle at the game. The limited production version is expected to go on sale next spring. Chevrolet will donate a portion of the proceeds from each Special Operations Silverado sold to benefit the Navy SEAL Museum. "The partnership will also help us aid the families of fallen, injured and active duty Navy SEALs through the efforts of our Trident House and scholarship programs," said Kaiser. Founded in 1985, the museum honors the service and legacy of the U.S. Navy SEALs. Located in Ft. Pierce, Fla., the museum and memorial are recognized as the birthplace of the Navy SEALs.
