1969 Nova Super Sport Big Block 4 speed. This car was restored as close as possible to duplicate the classic 396/375HP Nova Super Sport. All work was completed In 2004 and according to the previous owner won it's class at the Detroit Autorama show that year. It has been on the road for the last 9 years and has a couple of chips here and there but overall the paint is in great shape as is the pinstriping. Repainted according to the cowl tag it was done in the original Turquoise Blue. It has a code dated 396 Big Block (Code CLR) 375HP solid lifter motor. The motor is not stock as you can see from the pictures. It has a complete Crane roller rocker setup and girdle. I have not been in the bottom end of the motor but based on the way she runs it is evident that whoever built the car built it for one thing and one thing only - to eat up unsuspecting Hemi's and other high performance cars of that era. She is extremely fast and NOT for the novice or kid who wants daddy to buy him a toy. I've had muscle cars my entire life and  this one is scary fast even with the change to 3:42's. With a bone stock look under the hood is a built big bock with a Holley 750 double pumper, headers, Crane cam and electronic ignition. It's attached to a close ratio Muncie M21 Rock Crusher 4 speed with Hurst shifter and a hooker headers and a complete Flowmaster exhaust.. There is a full scattershield and driveshaft loop for safety. Frame connectors from the front subframe to the rear leaf spring mount make the frame super rigid and solid. Multi leaf springs with traction bars hold the rear end which is a GM 12 bolt with a new 3:42 posi which replaced the originally installed 4:11's which was great for drag racing but not suitable for the street.in my opinion. Up front are disc brakes and heavy duty Big Block springs and shocks. The overall drivetrain is solid, fast and good looking too. Under the hood you will find chrome oil pan, timing cover, most brackets, alternator, fan shroud and even the hood hinges. The interior is bone stock with the only blemish being a small 1" tear in the front seat. An AM/FM CD sits where the original radio was located. All seat belts, optional shoulder harness and new carpet make up the rest of the interior. The exterior sheet metal on this car is laser straight and original. All seams between fenders, doors and body are perfect. You can see a lot of time went into the final assembly and build of this beauty. There are 2 small repairs on the floorpans about 4" x 8" which was done in 2004 during the restoration. Other than that the entire undercarriage is original and solid front to back. Ne BF Goodrich 15" radials sit on original super sport rims with perfect trim rings and beauty caps. She runs like a dream and is great on the highway, She stops on a dime and Power steering makes her easy to drive, With plenty of power under the hood and the close ratio 4 speed transmission it makes her a blast to drive and a head turner wherever you go. The bone stock look is deceiving with the only clue as to whats in it being the 396 badges in the front fenders. Fun to drive. Thumbs up from everyone who see's her. Runs like a rocket and needs a new home with someone who likes to clean and show her off to take over! Low Reserve on this great example of classic American Muscle. Happy bidding and Happy driving to the new owner whomever that may be!

The Nova SS is up for sale locally and may be withdrawn at any time. Sold Where is as is with no warranty. If you have to take out a loan, ask mommy, the wife or anybody else before buying this Beautiful SS Nova please take care of these issues before bidding. Because the reserve is SO low be prepared to buy. Take a look at the other SS Nova's for sale. Mine is certainly a gem, priced right and ready to go! Please remember - this is not a toy - it is s very fast vehicle and in the hands of an inexperienced driver there may be issues keeping the car under control. On the other hand, If you have been to the drag strip with any older high performance vehicle your gonna love this baby. Comes out of the hole straight as an arrow. Second gear can be scary. Third and your gone! lol Tons of fun!!!

Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.

Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu

Tue, Jul 28 2015

The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way.

Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
