Up for bid is an awesome classic 1968 Chevy Nova drag car. I recently bought this car at an auction, but I have decided I need a truck more and must sell the Nova. 
Here is everything I know about the car:

Exterior:
It has a fiberglass hood, trunk lid, fiberglass front and rear bumpers. Both bumpers have some cracks as pictured below. The hood and trunk are pinned on. The hood is chipped in one corner. The paint is decent and looks nice. The body is in good condition. There is a little filler in the rear quarters and one small spot of rust bubbling through on the passenger's door (I tried to take a picture of the rust bubble but I do not know if it is visible). There is a dent on the roof by the back window (looks like something fell on it). The floor and trunk pans are good and don't have any holes or rust.

Interior:
The interior is set up for racing. It has one plastic racing seat, a B&M pro stick shifter, Autometer Pro-comp Silver Oil, Water, and Fuel gauges, Autometer Sport-Comp Silver Tachometer, no carpet. It is tubbed and has a roll cage. The door insides (door panels) are sheet metal with metal door handles made into them. It has toggle switches for fuel, water pump. It has a QuickCar Ignition Control Panel with push button start.

Drivetrain:
It has a very healthy sounding 454 tall deck big block chevy with a Weiand intake, headers, electric water pump, and electric fuel pump. A turbo 400 transmission, 4:56 gears, and a narrowed 9" rear. I do not know the internals on the engine because I bought it through an auction and the info was not available to me. It has a fuel cell in the trunk and two batteries. The frame has rails welded for extra support as seen in the pictures. The car runs very strong and I think it could be driven on the street if you wanted to.

Wheels/Tires:
The wheels are 15", center caps say Cragar on the front rims although I am not sure if they are Cragar wheels.
The rear wheels are Centerline. 
The front tires are Nexen 165-80R15, they have great tread but have some cracking on the sidewalls.
The rear tires are Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial 315/60R15. The driver's side tire looks great, the passenger's side has some wear.

This car is for sale by owner and I have a clear Florida title for it registered in my name.
I have tried to describe the car to the best of my knowledge. I encourage you to look at the car in person or have it inspected before making a decision to purchase it. Please ask all questions before you bid and I will try my best to answer them promptly. There is a low reserve. Once the reserve is met the winning bidder will be required to send a $100 deposit through paypal within 48 hours. The remaining balance is to be paid in cash within 7 days from the end of the auction. Buyer is responsible for the pickup or shipping of the vehicle.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Cadillac Celestiq, Lyriq, Hummer, other future GM electric cars: Here's everything we saw at ‘EV Day’

Wed, Mar 4 2020

WARREN, Mich. — Today, General Motors held an “EV Day” event at its Warren, Michigan, campus to present its new “Ultium” battery technology, modular electric vehicle architecture and soon-to-come electric vehicles. Unfortunately, we were forbidden from bringing cameras into the event, so while we canÂ’t show you what we saw, we can tell you more about it. While we saw the previously teased Cadillac EV (which we now know to be called the Lyriq) and the GMC Hummer pickup teased during the Super Bowl, there were a number of other future cars at the event, which GM President Mark Reuss assured us are all real vehicles in the works. The biggest surprise came at the end of the event, though, in the Cadillac Celestiq electric sedan, which Reuss described as a future flagship that would be hand-built “very locally.” It had been hiding under a dark sheet all morning, with the front and rear illuminated Cadillac emblems shining from underneath. When the wraps came off, we saw a long, white, four-seat fastback sedan. The 23-inch wheels were pushed out to the very corners of the car, giving it what appeared to be a very long wheelbase. The model on the stage had no side mirrors or visible door handles. The grille mirrored that of the Lyriq crossover next to it, with integrated lighting in lieu of the usual mesh or slats youÂ’d see in an internal combustion car. The entire roof, all the way until it tapered to the tail of the vehicle, was tinted glass. In back, vertical tail lighting ran down the C-pillar before turning rearward across the top of the trunk. Inside, everything below the beltline of the windows — essentially all but the headrests and top portion of the steering wheel, was hidden from view. Behind the Celestiq, a large digital display showed a rendering of its interior. The dash consists of a pillar-to-pillar curved LED display serving as both instrument panel and infotainment system. Protruding forward between the front seats was another touchscreen that appeared to house some more controls, with open area, probably for storage, below it. The rear seats had the same sort of touchscreen between them. Built into the back of the front seats were a pair of rear-seat entertainment screens, much like we saw in the Lyriq. The door panels blended wood, metal and animated lighting to give character and a sense of opulence. GM interior design manager Tristan Murphy was on hand to tell us a bit more about the Celestiq.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
