 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.

 To be clear this is an unfinished project car that does not drive (it does run though), and has no interior.

Watch the National Corvette Museum sinkhole being filled in by R/C cars

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Okay, so not exactly cars, but Bobcats - but still quite cool. You might remember that the National Corvette Museum had that little divot that needed to be filled in. Turns out the construction firm of Scott, Murphy & Daniel doing the work is using two remote-controlled Bobcats to fill the sinkhole with "manufactured sand," which in this case is crushed limestone. It appears that the Bobcat company has offered remote operation since at least 2007 via a wireless transmitter that works up to 1,500 feet away. So yes, that means two SMD employees stand on the edge of the pit and flick joystick levers for hours at a time, one in charge of a Bobcat with a roller-compactor attachment, the other in charge of a Bobcat with a bucket. And that, to us, is a pretty good way to earn the daily bread. Check out the video above for the latest sinkhole update.

How real is the Chevy Bolt EV and will it really cost $30,000?

Tue, Jan 13 2015

"This is us bragging that we can do this kind of car." That's how Michael Simcoe, GM's executive director for NA exteriors, described the Chevy Bolt EV concept, which made a surprise appearance at the Detroit Auto Show today. While there was talk of a 2017 production debut, this is for sure a concept vehicle. But that means the ideas behind the vehicle are perhaps more important than the details. For example, no one is talking about what size battery might appear in a production Bolt, but Simcoe would talk about how rapid progress in battery improvements made it possible for GM to make the bold Bolt declaration that promises 200 miles and a price tag of around $30,000 (after incentives). But if the Bolt makes it to market, it won't be until 2017 (as rumored) or later, is it really fair to promote the car as being available with a federal tax credit? For one thing, credits for plug-in vehicles may change in the next few years, but if the laws stay the same, each manufacturer is limited to 200,000 vehicles before the credits start to decline. GM is justifiably proud that it's sold over 70,000 Volts thus far, but with a new model coming out later this year and a few years to go until the Bolt potentially arrives, GM could be pushing right up against that 200,000 limit when the Bolt goes on sale. But Volt executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told AutoblogGreen that, "We're just trying to take some of the confusion out." "Think about talking to the average consumer," she said. "First, going through the explanation of how the federal tax credit was set up, how it's being used and so on. [In the industry, we] have the luxury of understanding the nuances of that regulation, but right now people who aren't in the marketplace, they don't have the luxury of all that. It's already hard to communicate the details so we gave them data in a way that is what they're used to seeing." There was one question that drove the two-year Bolt gestation and design period, Simcoe said: What does a better battery offer a vehicle designer? "We've got a number of spaces we play in for powertrain technology and obviously electrification is one of them," he said. "With Volt 1 and then the Spark EV, with that development and batteries getting better for us, we started doing some practical packaging to deliver a vehicle which was not the traditional aero form which you see around electric vehicles.

1956 Corvette SR-2 factory racer profiled

Mon, Jan 19 2015

The Chevrolet Corvette has earned its place as America's sports car, capable of taking on the best the world can throw at it. Much of that winning reputation was earned with victories on the track. Now, there was a chance to own an early piece of the nameplate's motorsport history in the form of a 1956 Corvette SR-2 racer, but some deep pockets were necessary to get it, with an estimate of $6.885 million. The story behind the SR-2 is fascinating. In 1956, famous General Motors designer Harley Earl's son was racing in a Ferrari. Obviously, that wasn't going to work given his father's position within the automaker, and Harley and Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov got to work on a faster racecar. Three were made. This one was reportedly the first, and for 1957 it also received a fuel-injected V8 making a claimed 331 horsepower and four-speed manual gearbox, according to "Corvette Mike," the owner and seller. The SR-2 went on display in Scottsdale, AZ appropriately timed to coincide with the big Barrett-Jackson auction there that wrapped up this weekend. The car wasn't part of that event; instead marque specialist Mike Vietro sold the racer as a private treaty sale. Company spokesperson Troy Worrell told Autoblog both the bids and identities of the bidders will remain undisclosed. The video above goes into even deeper detail about this rare, finned Vette or check out the car's full description for even more info.
