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!!!

Meet the mother-daughter team that's worked on almost every Chevy Volt

Sun, May 11 2014

It's Mother's Day, and we're soft enough we love our mothers enough to share a new video from General Motors with you. In it, we meet Monique Watson (left) and Evetta Osbourne, a mother-daughter team that works at the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly where GM makes the Chevy Volt (along with all of GM's other plug-in hybrids: the Opel Ampera, Holden Volt and Cadillac ELR). The two work side-by-side and have installed the lithium-ion battery pack on almost all of those vehicles - nearly 80,000 of them - since GM started making the pre-production Volts in 2009. In a prepared statement, Watson said that she likes working next to her mom, day in and day out, and they the two are totally in sync when it comes to putting the 400-pound, 16.5-kWh packs into the vehicle undersides. They two can also share stories throughout the day, and Watson said, "The arrangement has absolutely improved our relationship." Osborne started working at Detroit-Hamtramck in 1999, Watson since 2006. If you're driving a Volt today, you probably have them to thank for doing a bit of the work putting your car together. See a short video of them in action below. It's Always Mother's Day for Detroit-Hamtramck Duo Mother, daughter install lithium-ion battery pack in nearly all GM electric vehicles 2014-05-08 DETROIT – For Detroit resident Evetta Osborne, every day is Mother's Day. That's because she literally works side by side with her daughter, Monique Watson, at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. They have installed the lithium-ion battery pack on nearly every Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera, Holden Volt, and Cadillac ELR since production began. In fact, apart from vacation days and an occasional sick day, the mother-daughter duo has installed almost every battery pack since the Volt was in pre-production in 2009. The ELR launched earlier this year. All told – including Ampera – that's more than 80,000 electric vehicles. "We're a good team and our relationship is secondary when it comes to performing our jobs – but it's great to work alongside my daughter, said Osborne, a mother of five. Because the battery packs weigh more than 400 pounds each, automatic guided vehicles – robotic carts that use sensors to follow a path through the plant – deliver them just as the vehicle body structures glide into position overhead. The carts then lift the T-shaped packs, and Osborne and Watson guide them into the chassis and secure each one with 24 fasteners.

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout

Tue, Nov 25 2014

Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China

Mon, Nov 7 2016

Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.
