This auction is for a 1971 Chevrolet Nova SS featuring a built 396(none numbers matching) coupled to a built 700R4 automatic trans and a 12 bolt posi w/ 3.76 gears. This car was completely rebuilt in 1985 and has been lightly driven since (weekend warrior) and has less than 10,000 miles on engine. Trans upgrade was done 1000 miles ago.The engine is a 1968 396 ,bored .030" has cast iron heads and a very lumpy camshaft. The motor was built by Russ Barfield in Hollywood Fl.The complete fuel system has been replaced in the last year , the ignition system was just replaced last week. This is a very strong running big block Nova!
The brake system was gone through last year, as was the suspension. The car has power disc brakes up front. It also has power steering.
This car has been babied since new, the current owner bought it from the son of the original owner while it was being refurbished back in the 80s.It is not clear whether or not this is a true SS although it is believed to be.What is known is that it started life out with a 350 under the hood.We have not found the build sheet which unfortunately is the only way to know for sure.
The undercar is very clean, looks to be original floor pans, don't see any soft spots or rust. The trunk is immaculate. The only issues noted on the body are some rust spots in the lower doors,it does not look like any prior repairs were done in thase spots, and what looks like a "paint booger"near the RR taillight. . The quarters ,doors and fenders are all original sheetmetal.Other than the door issues the car is laser straight. It also has a fiberglass cowl hood on it. The paint job was done back in the 80s, still looks awesome but could use a good claying and polish.
The interior could use a redo as it was done in typical 80s fashion. It is in good condition just not to everyones taste!
I am representing the current owner in this sale , car is being sold due to health issues. It is being sold "as is" with no warranty. I suggest that if you are interested in the car to either come and check it out yourself or send an inspector. The car is as solid as can be, it has always been in good hands and any work done was by pros... this ain't no junk! If you have any questions I can be reached either thru email or call daytime at 954-782-2263 or evenings 954-401-3480 ask for Bob

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power
Tue, Sep 5 2017The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Watch this week's Top Gear America used-car challenge
Sat, Sep 9 2017Top Gear America is back for the penultimate episode of the first season. Used car challenges were some of the highlights of the original UK edition. In our exclusive clip, Tom Ford, Antron Brown and William Fichtner run their $7,000 sports cars in a drag race. As expected, the trio chose very different cars for the challenge. Watch the video to see if a Subaru WRX's all-wheel drive can overcome a power deficit to beat a Ford Mustang and a Chevy Corvette. Brown and Fichtner also spend some time relaxing with an old Jeep Wagoneer. Like them, we're really hoping Jeep will bring back the Wagoneer nameplate. Brown also drives a Maserati Levante, proving that not all family cars need be boring. This week's guest star is actor, rapper and former host of Pimp My Ride, Xzibit. Top Gear America airs Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern on BBC America. Related Video: Celebrities TV/Movies Chevrolet Ford Subaru Top Gear exclusive top gear america
Impala SS vs. Marauder: Recalling Detroit’s muscle sedans
Thu, Apr 30 2020Impala SS vs. Marauder — it was comparo that only really happened in theory. ChevyÂ’s muscle sedan ran from 1994-96, while MercuryÂ’s answer arrived in 2003 and only lasted until 2004. TheyÂ’re linked inextricably, as there were few options for powerful American sedans during that milquetoast period for enthusiasts. The debate was reignited recently among Autoblog editors when a pristine 1996 Chevy Impala SS with just 2,173 miles on the odometer hit the market on Bring a Trailer. Most of the staff favored the Impala for its sinister looks and said that it lived up to its billing as a legit muscle car. Nearly two-thirds of you agree. We ran an unscientific Twitter poll that generated 851 votes, 63.9 percent of which backed the Impala. Muscle sedans, take your pick: — Greg Migliore (@GregMigliore) April 14, 2020 Then and now enthusiasts felt the Impala was a more complete execution with guts. The Marauder, despite coming along later, felt more hacked together, according to prevailing sentiments. Why? On purpose and on paper theyÂ’re similar. The ImpalaÂ’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque was impressive for a two-ton sedan in the mid-Â’90s. The Marauder was actually more powerful — its 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 302 hp and 318 lb-ft. The ImpalaÂ’s engine was also used in the C4 Corvette. The MarauderÂ’s mill was shared with the Mustang Mach 1. You can see why they resonated so deeply with Boomers longing for a bygone era and also captured the attention of coming-of-age Gen Xers. Car and DriverÂ’s staff gave the Marauder a lukewarm review back in ‘03, citing its solid handling and features, yet knocking the sedan for being slow off the line. In a Hemmings article appropriately called “Autopsy” from 2004, the ImpalaÂ’s stronger low-end torque and smooth shifting transmission earned praise, separating it from the more sluggish Mercury. All of this was captured in the carsÂ’ acceleration times, highlighting metrically the differences in their character. The Impala hit 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, while the Marauder was a half-second slower, according to C/D testing. Other sites have them closer together, which reinforces the premise it really was the little things that separated these muscle cars. Both made the most of their genetics, riding on ancient platforms (FordÂ’s Panther and General MotorsÂ’ B-body) that preceded these cars by decades. Both had iconic names.
