Western Springs, Illinois, United States
|
1970 Nova SS original 396/375hp car converted to a Gasser in 1970 after being driven 1,000 miles. Have Protect-0-Plate, Dealer Invoice, Broadcast Sheet, Orig. Insurance card, Magazines it was featured in, Orig. Dealer Key FOB and trunk sticker, Original 1971, 1972, and 1973 Illinois Lic. Plates (1972 "427 060" plate on car now), and other documentation. In 1972 Popular HotRodding magazine featured the car and named it the "Street Pro". The engine was on the cover of their Engine Annual in 1973 (it had an iron 427 at that time). I purchased the car from the orig. owner who owned it for all but two of the 40 years before I purchased it in 2010. The car sat in heated storage for 35 years with no engine, trans, or differential and had 2,300 miles. Changes from then to now: Hood scoop and ladder bars gone (still have the bars). The car has a new professionally built 427 Zl-1 (stroked to 497 c.i.), new AutoGear M22 Rockcrusher 4 Speed, new Strange Engineering Dana 60 diff. (like it had in 1970 except a 3.73 gear instead of a 5.13 gear - yikes!), and all the basics needed after 40 years of sitting which were a NOS fuel tank (sumped as back in the day), Stainless brake and fuel lines, new fuel pump, new Wilwood front disk brakes, new master cylinder. Original paint, original interior (Dash has 3 built-in gauges. I have a NOS dash cluster if want stock), NO body mods except hole in hood (I have an original used SS louvered hood, too). Underside was painted black when brand new. Not a spec of rust, no flaws on paint except what is original from 1970, one small ding on body. Near flawless every where. The engine runs on pump gas and was Dyno Tuned to the max! Idles at 900 rpm, runs like a mild engine until throttled. Chassis Dyno sheet shows 625hp at the back tires (which equates to 750hp at the crank). High-end parts every where: Callies "2000 hp" stroker crank, Oliver Billet Steel rods, JE 11 to1 Gas Ported pistons, full CNC Dart heads, GM ZL-1 block, Milodon oil pan, Custom designed roller cam, enlarged Jesel roller lifters, Jesel shaft-mount roller rocker arms (not the cheap $1,000 base ones either), aluminum flywheel and dual disk clutch (can push down with your fingers), Rockcrusher has all upgrade options, original 1970 Hurst shifter, Chromemoly yoke, 4" alum. driveshaft, Detroit TruTrac upgraded posi, 35 spline axles, 4" Electronic Dumps, 3" Stainless Steel handmade exhaust by The Roadster Shop. The Roadster Shop did the fuel system, brake system and Dyno work. The car highway drives with one finger on the steering wheel. It is quiet inside the car, no rattles or annoying noises - just like new because it is. Whan the dumps are opened with the touch of a switch the horsepower shakes the whole car and it's like a different vehicle - lots of fun! You are welcome to inspect the car. It is on a lift so you can see everything clearly. Thanks for your interest. Questions for interested bidders, call Joel 847 363-1874. |

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
