1970 Chevy Nova - Cheap! - Other Nova - Free Local Delivery on 2040-cars
Frankfort, Illinois, United States
Up For Auction is a 1970 Satin Black Chevy Nova Free Local Delivery up to 50 miles if needed... My wife and I originally bought this car from Alabama in hopes of making it a back-halfed car. Unfortunately when we received the car, we decided that it was much too clean of a car to chop up! So instead we pulled it apart, had new full quarters put on because some idiot cut the wheel lip off. The motor was removed to allow us to soda blast the motor compartment. Inside both doors and jams, also around the windows / front and back were soda blasted to bare metal. There was absolutely no rust anywhere to be found in those areas. The floor boards, the trunk pan, the undercarriage of the car are almost perfect! The doors open and close perfect and they have new felt and weather stripping. Trunk opens and closes perfect, also has new un-installed weather stripping. It was left off so you can see how clean and rust free that area is. The interior of the car, along with the carpet and headliner are in very good shape. You will need to get a new dash pad, as this one has cracks. The motor is Small Block Chevy, we were told that this is the original motor, we obviously have no clue if that's true or not. We don't know if anything was done to the motor, as this is exactly the way we bought it. However it starts right up, has great throttle response and sounds a little beefy but probably stock. The Nova also has power steering. Ok, now for the unfortunate details we need to list. The lights have a mind of their own! Everything worked, turn signals, lights, brake lights, when we got the car. However, since the car has been sitting for about 8 months after putting it all back together, now only some of the things work, of course when they want to! I assume it's just a ground wire somewhere. Like I mentioned before you will need a dash pad and dash light bulbs. The tires are just rollers, they hold air, but are junk. The rims are in ok condition only. They look better in the pictures, then they look in person. The car can probably use a new back bumper. The rear end I believe has a spool in it which means that every time you turn the car it makes a chirping noise from the tires. Because both tires are turning simultaneously. Obviously when you are going straight it is perfectly fine. Some people like having it, some people don't. With all that being said, I am sure there may be a couple small things that might have to be fixed that we did not mention, but I think we listed everything. Once again, you are looking at a very nice, very clean 1970 Nova. Fresh Satin Black paint with a good running motor. The car has great looking interior and it is very structurally sound. However, this is not a perfect car, so expect some imperfections, along with things that may need to fixed or changed to your liking. The car is being sold with a notarized bill of sale from Alabama, because Alabama does not give you a title when you purchase a car made before 1975. I can assure you, that you will not have any problems. That is just the way some states operate. We are selling the Nova with a very low reserve, we think you will be extremely happy with the car, especially for what we are asking for it. This car is being sold locally and we reserve the right to end this auction at anytime. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will be more than happy to discuss any details with you. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads
Sun, May 31 2015Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.
