 Up for sale is this really cool 1972 Chevrolet Nova ! It is an old vintage Hot Rod from the 70's. It has a strong 350 4 bolt main engine with an aluminum intake, Edelbrock carburetor, Hei distributor, Headders with smitty  dual exhaust and a chrome engine dress up kit. It has an automatic turbo 350 transmission and a 10 bolt differential. This car runs and drives quite smooth, however, it is NOT a fully restored car. It is a classic that will need paint and interior and little details here and there. This car has factory power steering and factory air conditioning. The compressor and hoses are gone,but all the important parts are there and in tact.This car is very complete.It is very important to have a complete car when you begin a restoration because it saves you time and money searching for parts!!! This car was originally a New Mexico car. It is currently in dry El Paso Texas. This makes this car pretty solid for its age. The truck is solid along with the bottom rocker panels and floor boards. This saves a ton of cash !!!! Most of you already know a southern car is virtually rust free, but you will find rust in ANY classic car,unless it was preserved in a bubble !!! This Nova has some rust spots in the outside upper quarter panels, and the bootom passenger side of the door and lower passenger fender.( Most novas are prone to get rust from this area) The windshield is new and the tires are semi-new. The frame is straight and all the doors,fenders,hood and trunk are the original to the car. This is a very good thing, because you know that this car was not pieced together from 10 different Novas !!! All in all, this is a great car for a great price. I personally do not like the interior or color,but you can make it your own! I have described this car to you to the best of my knowledge. You are more than welcome to have Ebay inspect the car.

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks

Tue, May 26 2015

General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

GM does not have to turn over its ignition switch documents

Fri, Nov 27 2015

In June the lawyer representing plaintiffs suing General Motors over faulty ignition switches accused GM and its firm King & Spalding of working together to cover up the malfunction. Bob Hilliard said that certain communication between GM and King & Spalding from 2010 to 2013, mainly focused on three Chevrolet Cobalt crashes, would reveal that they conspired in "burying what they knew" concerning the defect, and furthermore that the law firm broke rules of professional conduct once it found out about "ongoing fraudulent concealment" at GM. Hilliard filed a motion in a Manhattan court to force GM and King to hand over the memos, which were protected by attorney-client privilege. Hilliard said that the alleged ongoing fraud should trump attorney-client privilege, a GM spokesman said at the time that the issues in question had already been discussed previously, and that plantiffs already had much of the communication Hilliard's motion sought. US District Judge Jesse Furman ruled in favor of GM and King, refusing to order the release of the communication. In spite of finding probable cause that GM was engaging in a crime or fraud by not revealing the ignition switch defect, Furman did not find cause to believe that GM and King's discussions at the time were centered around continuing that potential crime or fraud. Saying also that plantiffs already had many of the disputed documents, attorney-client privilege should hold sway over the remainder. The class action case goes to trial in January 2016.
