   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

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.

2016 Chevy Equinox brings its revised face to Chicago

Thu, Feb 12 2015

It's vital these days for automakers to keep up with the Jones' when in the crossover market. The segment is just too popular among buyers to let a vehicle waste away, and Chevrolet is giving the 2016 Equinox a slight refresh at the Chicago Auto Show to hopefully keep people interested. In reality, though, the CUV isn't too much different beyond a tweaked face and some interior improvements. The exterior now boasts a revised front fascia with a chrome-accented grille and projector beam headlights, and at the rear there are new taillights. Top -evel models get LED running lights, as well. Inside, the Equinox features a standard seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a backup cam, and for added safety, the CUV is now available with rear cross traffic and blade zone alert on some trims. Beyond these updates, the powertrains carry over entirely from before with the choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. These refreshed 2016 models go on sale this fall.

GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]

Mon, Mar 17 2014

Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
