1972 Chevrolet Nova High Quality Build Fuel Injection

Reasonable Rides and Rods presents this 1972 Chevrolet Nova for your consideration.  This Nova is a high quality restored/custom car that needs nothing and can be driven and enjoyed now.

Paint/Body/Trim

Painted in Silver-Blue Metallic, the paint presentation of this Nova is outstanding.  Already a very solid car, it was stripped down to bare metal and painted.  This is a high quality paint job and all of the gaps are done well.  The firewall, floor pans, drop offs and trunk are in excellent condition.  All glass and trim are new and in excellent condition.  All new weatherstrip was installed throughout the car when it was painted.

Interior

The interior is a combination of stock and aftermarket components.  The front seats are new Procar Rally and the rear seat has been covered with the same material.  The custom rear package tray utilizes the same material.  The steering wheel is a Billet Specialties Street Lite attached to the custom tilt column.  A custom console was created and houses the gauges and a B&M Mega Shifter.  The stereo is a Retro 2 knob with MP3 capability.  The carpet, dash, door panels, and headliner are in great shape.  The fuel injection handheld computer is located in the glove box.  The interior of this car is extremely nice and adds a lot to the presentation.

Engine/Transmission/Rear End

The engine is a four bolt main 350 bored .030 over with a steel crank, 10:1 SRP forged pistons, Competition Cam, Edelbrock Aluminum Heads, Edelbrock Air Gap Intake, MSD 6 Ignition, billet accessories, and MSD Atomic EFI.  The engine has less than 200 miles since the build and performs flawlessly.  The fuel injection ensures that this car starts every time and is extremely responsive.  As you can see in the pictures, the entire fuel system is built for the fuel injection.  The fuel tank and pump system is done correctly to support the fuel injection.  It is dressed with all of the Edelbrock engine components for a nice presentation.  The engine is estimated to produce 400 hp.  The exhaust has Hooker long tube headers and is a full length stainless system with Flowmaster mufflers.  A four core aluminum radiator and dual electric fans keeps this little Nova running cool.  The transmission is a built Turbo 350 Automatic with a 2500 stall converter.  The transmission was built at the same time as the engine.  The rear end is a GM 10 bolt with an Auburn posi unit and 3.73 gears, and a Trick Flow cover. 

Suspension/Brakes/Tires/Wheels

The suspension and steering components are all new.  The steering has a manual gear box, but has been upgraded to a quick ratio box.  The stock control arms were retained, but all bushings are poly urethane.  A set of Competition Engineering subframe connectors were added to handle the power.  All new Right Stuff 4 wheel disc brakes were installed with slotted and cross-drilled rotors.  A new chrome booster, master cylinder, and proportion valve complete the brake system.  The car rides on new SLG Series Billet Specialties Wheels and Nitto NT555 235/40-18 front and 245/40-18 rear tires.  The car drives and steers better than new. 

Overall

This Nova has been built right.  Everything works on the car and it is fast, reliable, and enjoyable to drive.  With the fuel injection set up, you could use it as a daily driver, or a weekend cruiser/show car.  This is a totally solid car and a very high quality build with over $40k spent on paint, engine, trans, suspension, interior, wheels/tires, ect.  You will not be disappointed.

Smaller Cars Endure Big Problems On Crash Test

Wed, Jan 22 2014

In a crash test of 11 of the smallest cars on the market, only one vehicle received an acceptable rating. The rest received marginal or poor ratings in the study, providing evidence that supports a widely held notion that smaller cars are among the least safe on the road. No other vehicle group has performed as poorly on a new crash test than these mini cars, says the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the nonprofit group that conducted the testing. The latest results of which were released Wednesday. The Chevrolet Spark was the only car earning an overall "acceptable" rating on the small-front overlap test, and even that vehicle had its shortcomings, IIHS said. "Small lightweight vehicles have an inherent safety disadvantage," said Joe Nolan, the senior vice president for vehicle research at IIHS. "That's why it's even more important to choose one with the best occupant protection. Unfortunately, as a group, minicars aren't performing as well as other vehicle categories." The Mazda2, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris and certain Ford Fiesta models all received "marginal" overall grades on the test, while the Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, Toyota Prius C, Hyundai Accent, Fiat 500 and Honda Fit all earned "poor" ratings. Results from these sub-compact cars fare much worse than vehicles sized just a little bit bigger, IIHS said. Among 17 cars evaluated in the small category, five earned "good" ratings and five more earned "acceptable." Only introduced a year ago, the small-front overlap test has quickly become a key indicator of differences in automotive safety. IIHS introduced it as a way to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with a tree or utility pole at 40 miles per hour. In the real world, these sorts of accidents are more dangerous than others, in part because they bypass the front-end crush zones on most cars.

Without a grade of acceptable or better, they cannot qualify for the IIHS' overall Top Safety Pick+ honor, given annually to the safest models on the market.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

The Tesla Model S was the best-selling EV of 2015

Thu, Jan 14 2016

According to numbers crunched over at Hybrid Cars, the Tesla Model S was the best selling pure electric vehicle last year with 50,366 deliveries. These numbers might not tell the whole story, since Tesla reports deliveries made in 2015 that might have been sold in a different calendar year, while other makers are tallying sales. However, it's inarguable that the Model S ended up in more worldwide driveways than the second-place Nissan Leaf, which did about 43,000 sales. In the US alone, Leaf sales were down 42.8 percent year-on-year, from 30,200 in 2014 to 17,269 last year, and that decline also increased throughout the year. That marks a great finish to a great start to 2015, when Tesla took the lead in EV sales in the US for the first quarter. On top of that, as of last year the Model S becomes the second-best selling EV ever, with 107,148 deliveries since the middle of 2012. It trails the Nissan Leaf, with well over 200,000 worldwide sales. The Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera combo takes a close third, with about 106,000 sales. The Nissan and Chevy rivals both launched at the end of 2010, a 16-month head start on the Tesla. Down the charts, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which continues to be forbidden fruit for our market notched 39,000 sales. The BYD Qin PHEV sold 31,898 examples in China, and BYD would take the overall victory from Tesla with 58,728 deliveries if you counted all of its EV and PHEV production, such as its electric buses. The BMW i3 nabbed fourth place with 24,057 global sales. In 2011 the Munich automaker said it wanted to sell 30,000 i3s annually by 2014, but by the time the car launched the company considered 15,000 annual sales 'great for now,' so the 2015 number seems a fine place to wind up.
