You are looking at another one of many collection that I am selling  because of personal reasons.  This is a 1970 Nova SS and it is a REAL SS, however the engine is not original and this car came equipped with a 350 engine, not the one installed.  This car I got from a life long friend who had it over 30 years and he did most of the work to it.  He of course had to sell it because of personal reasons and I bought it off of him about 10 years ago.  So he just told me that the engine is a 1964 396 bored 30 over to a 402,heads oval ported and the heads are from a 1969 427 engine, it has forged pistons, 10 1/2 to 1 compression, a steel crank, the stock horse power started at 375,original ss rear with 373 gears and a 12 bolt posi, 400 turbo transmission with b&m parts installed, a 2500 stall convertor, when he installed the engine he ordered factory GM brackets for the big block, it has headers however I never put the tail pipes on and they are in the trunk, it has electronic ignition, a a torker intake,  the front tires are 215/70/15 and should be replaced.  The rear tires are 275/60/15, the rear wheel wells were raised to allow for the bigger 15" wheels and tires while keeping the same body lines.  The miles on the car is 41611 and the actual miles on the title of this car is 41443 (and I'm told that these are the actual miles).  Last year I had the front and rear seats redone and also had the carpet replaced.  The door panels are ok, but they should be replaced because he added door speakers plus the driver side door panel has extra screws in it. The car has factory air conditioning in it and it is not currently working, however it did work last year.  All of the components are there and they are hooked up, I did not spend any time to check to see why it is not working. It has front disc brakes however I just drove it and I noticed that one of the calipers are sticking and releasing irregularly, so you may figure to change either one or both of the calipers or the rubber brake lines, or they may free up, but from sitting this is a common occurrence.  The brakes and rotors look good. The car has aftermarket cruise control, power antenna (should be removed), cheap side mirrors and missing the side mirror on the right (should be replaced with factory), and the gages all work.  The roof is vinyl and it was replaced 30 years ago and it was not a good job, it has some bubbles underneath that was from the glue, and where the seam is above the windows in the drip edge, he used a urethane sealer, so from a distance the top looks good but from close up it does not.  The molding around the rear side windows should be replaced.  There is a small paint chip on the hood, the left front fender has plastic on the bottom near to the front door, the driver side door edge has paint chips, the door rubber should be replaced but it is ok, the trunk has a hole in it but it is an easy fix, the rest of the trunk is decent, the trunk rubber seal should be replaced and if you lift the trunk rubber up, there is some surface rust, again not a problem yet.  The paint job overall looks pretty good.  There is a new fuel tank installed, and it has traction bars, air shocks (which leak air).  Now that I have tried to list everything that I am aware of, I have probably scared everyone away.   I try to be honest and list everything so that there are no surprises.  This car is not a show car, however it does look very good at a short distance, it sounds great, runs good and is pretty fast.  The original owner really had set up the rear suspension to be able to smoke the tires and keep straight.  There is less than 1000 miles on the engine, transmission, and rear end rebuild.  I had this car for almost 10 years and did not put 100 miles on it, just had no time, which is another reason I am selling all of my cars. The title is a clean Pa title.  I am selling the car AS-IS just as I always sell everything on Ebay.  The car is located in Shamokin, Pa 17872.  This car would be a great car to restore for a show car, or it will be a great car to drive as a daily driver, either way it does get alot of attention when you are driving by.  If I took the time to fix the few problems this car has, I would have had even a harder time parting with it and most likely would have gotten attached to it again and wouldn't have sold it.  So I pulled out of my garage, washed it and posted it here to be sold. The buyer is responsible for any shipping costs and any transfer fees. There is a $200 deposit that must be paid with 24 hours at the end of the auction.   If you have any questions please email me.  Thank you and happy bidding!

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine

Tue, Oct 28 2014

As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.

Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says

Sun, Jun 25 2023

Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent.  In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
