1972 Chevrolet Nova - Unifinished Project Car on 2040-cars
Harwich, Massachusetts, United States
I am selling my 1972 Nova. This nova has undergone an extensive
restoration over the last few years. I have put over 15,000 in new parts
and well over a 1000hrs of labor into this nova. Everything has been
replaced/repaired/ and upgraded. The end result was supposed to be a
high end tuxedo (black with white stripes) nova. The car originally came
from Pennsylvania. I brought to massachusetts in 2007 and have been
restoring her ever since. Sadly I just do not have the time to finish
it. Almost every piece of steel has been fully replaced or repaired. The
list includes new wheel wells, front quarters, rear quarters, trunk
lid, hood, rear cross rail, door skins, tail panel, trunk drop offs, rocker panels and
I'm sure there is more I'm forgetting. Basically all the metal is new or
completely rust free. The filler work is almost completed and it would
not take much to get her ready for paint. The floor was prepped and
coated with por15 and rubberized sound proofing.The frame was fully
removed, stripped and painted with the eastwood system. The
undercarriage was completely stripped and repainted. The rear shocks
were moved inboard to allow for bigger tires. The 12 bolt rear end was
removed straightened and tubes welded. A new eaton posi was put in. The
drive shaft is a new dennys drive shaft rated at 700hp with 1350 u
joints. The transmission is a restored 4speed saginaw. The engine is a
new 350 crate engine rated at 410hp-428torque. It is a 4 bolt main with
domed hyperuetectic pistons and a 500-510 hydraulic cam. The engine has a
march performance aluminum serpentine accessory drive system with an
edelbrock carb and aluminum radiator and electric fan. The firewall was
smoothed with new sheet metal. The front brakes were converted to disc
brakes and the rear were replaced with new drum brakes. The gas tank +
straps are new. New painless wiring harness which is wired just enough
to allow the engine to run. The steering column was replaced with a new
chrome ididit column. Has a new custom fully welded exhaust from summit.
Also have various new trim pieces. New door handles, mirrors etc. And
I'm sure there is a ton of stuff I'm forgetting.

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly
Fri, Sep 2 2016Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:
eBay Find of the Day: Mario Andretti's personal 2009 Corvette ZR1
Wed, Jan 7 2015With victory in the the Indianapolis 500, a Formula 1 World Championship, a win in the Daytona 500 and too many other motorsports accomplishments to list, Mario Andretti stands among not just the greatest American racing drivers of all time, but the greatest drivers, full stop. Apparently, the champ is also a fan of speed when not on the track, because now there's a chance to own what is said tobe his personal 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 12,872 miles on the clock. The eBay Motors auction page clearly shows Mario Andretti standing with the car, but the rest of the ad is admittedly short on details. The vehicle history report lists only one previous owner – ostensibly Andretti. The exterior is a handsome Blade Silver Metallic accompanied by a Dark Titanium leather interior. However, the seller keeps additional information to a minimum as well with the description simply stating, "This 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 is owned by Mario Andretti and has been garage kept all its life. It is fully loaded with all option on this car." The future buyer will get a seriously great car along with some huge bragging rights at any party by touting its ownership history. We've reached out to the seller for more particulars and provenance, and will update this story if we hear back. In the meantime, the auction for this C6 ends on Thursday, January 8, and currently the reserve isn't met. The price sits at a hefty $68,100 as of this writing, with six bids registered.

This map reveals the cleanest vehicles based on location
Thu, Apr 28 2016Naysayers love to point out how dirty the electricity grid mix is when it comes to charging electric vehicles. Curmudgeons are eager to jump into any conversation about EVs to enlighten the lucky listeners about how plug-in cars contribute to pollution, sometimes even throwing in a dash of climate-change denial for good measure. (Thanks, buddy. Pray, tell me more about the plight of oppressed SUV owners.) Unless someone buys an EV just because they think they're cool (which, yeah, they often are), they probably have at least a passable understanding of their environmental pros and cons. As many EV owners are already aware, location has a lot to do with any particular plug-in car's carbon footprint. Still, there's always more to know, and knowledge is not a bad thing, especially if one uses it to do the right thing. That's why this handy-dandy map from Carnegie Mellon University is so interesting. CMU researchers have compiled information about the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of various EVs based on where they're charged, as compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. The researchers looked at the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, and Prius Plug-In Hybrid versus the gasoline-dependent Toyota Prius hybrid and the stop-start-equipped Mazda3 with i-ELOOP and compared grams of CO2 emitted per mile. CMU takes into account the grid mix, ambient temperature, and driving patterns. CMU takes into account the grid mix based on county, as well as ambient temperature and driving patterns in terms of miles traveled on the highway or in the city. For instance, if you drive a Nissan Leaf in urban areas of California, Texas, or Florida, your carbon footprint is lower than it would be if you were driving a standard Toyota Prius. However, if you charge your Leaf in the Midwest or the South, for the most part, you've got a larger carbon footprint than the Prius. If you live in the rural Midwest, you'd probably even be better off driving a Mazda3. Throughout the country, the Chevrolet Volt has a larger carbon footprint than the Toyota Prius, but a smaller one than the Mazda3 in a lot of urban counties in the US. The Prius and Prius Plug-In are relatively equal across the US. Having trouble keeping it straight? That's not surprising. The comparisons between plug-in and gasoline vehicles are much more nuanced than the loudest voices usually let on.
