1973 Chevy Nova Custom Hatchback 383 Stroker Gorgeous Car Please Look on 2040-cars
Plymouth, Connecticut, United States
Hello! I would love to talk to you before you click the
Buy-it-Now so please message me with a
phone number first. I want to be sure you know what you are getting and are
serious about your offer. You should want to talk to me or any other seller
before bidding and making offers. Lowball offers will automatically be rejected
so please don't waste your time. The price is my bottom dollar and represents a
large loss to me. This car is listed locally and could sell at any minute and
the auction will be removed so please let me know if you have interest. Up for sale today is my beautiful and rare 1973 Chevrolet
Nova Custom Hatchback. The Custom package was an expensive option which
outfitted the car with lots of extra chrome and stainless trim which really
sets it apart from other Novas. This trim package has been combined with the
deluxe window trim package on this car making it pretty rare! Notice in the
brochure photos for the Nova Custom that neither car has the deluxe window
trim. The hatchback allows you to fold the back seat down and carry the
surfboard you love or surf your lover when you get stiff as a board! A full six
feet of length back there! The hatchback is also the STRONGEST Nova body ever
made and is often selected for a drag car because it can handle huge power
without twisting. This is a beautiful rust free car that runs and drives very
well and is ready to enjoy today. I was told that the car had only 22,000
original miles on it and I laughed – until I took a long hard look at the car
and it actually seems believable. I know
a lot of guys aren't confident enough in their manhood to drive a purple car but
as the owner of a purple pro street pickup I can tell you that a lot of people
love purple. Especially the ladies! So you should consider taking a walk on
this wild side..... Before I further describe the car, I want to be clear about
a few things: THIS IS NOT A DISTRESS SALE. I can afford to keep this car
indefinitely. I have run out of room so I have to let some cars go. I have no emotional attachment to this one so it is one of the first I will try to sell and it will not break my heart if I keep it. I may be
willing to let someone pay me over a short period of time (3 months MAX), no
interest, but I own 100% of the car and paperwork until it is 100% paid for.
And you will have to convince me you aren’t going to be a problem before I will
do this. I find that about 80% of sellers of vintage cars on eBay are
re-sellers. Ask yourself, is someone who needs to make money on a car to feed
their family going to disclose everything about the cars they sell? And if you
find a seller who "needs money" is he or she going to be completely
honest? Be very, very careful of those vehicles with short descriptions and/or a few bad pictures.....
Which is most of them. People lie.... And sell here because they hope to snag a
buyer who can't see the car in person.... I am going to fully disclose what I
know about this car, even if it is at my own peril. I am not interested in ANY trades of ANY kind. Sorry, my
garage is overflowing already. Anyone who tries to scam me or hurt me will find
out what their genitals taste like. Be decent to me and we will get along fine.
I am not a kid and I am not an old geezer. I have a family and a full time job
so please be respectful that my time is limited. This car was bought new by an older woman (Doris) in 1973.
It was originally red. She took excellent care of it and drove it less than
10,000 miles! (I do not have proof) It has always been garaged and seldom
driven. She sold it to an older man (Elvin) in 1988 who also cherished and
preserved the car. In 2010 it was bought by the third owner (John) and he spent
$5000 on very high quality custom paint (color, color sand, clear, sand, buff)
and nearly $8000 on the engine and the transmission. (he pulled the wheezing
original 307 out of the car -who could blame him) Plus he spent another $3K on
the interior. Plus new 1972 bumpers to get rid of the "bumper car"
look of the originals. It gives the car a very nice, subtle custom touch. He
did very well at local car shows with this car. I do not consider the body and
paint to be true "show quality" as those paintjobs cost two to three
times as much but this car is good enough to show at any local or regional
show. The car then ended up getting traded in on a min van (holy
cow!) in late 2013 at a dealer lot and got bounced to another dealer and became
filthy and forlorn over the course of 2 months. I was traveling for business,
saw it, and took pity on it and brought it home. I became the 4th true owner
when I picked it up in December 2013. I love this little car but I cannot keep
it because I am out of room. This is a beautiful rust free car with a rebuilt performance
383 stroker 4-bolt main engine and a NEW Turbo 350 transmission (still has the
tag with the bar code – see photo). The engine has new aluminum Edelbrock tall
valve covers, performer intake, and a very big Edelbrock carburetor with a
massive aluminum Edelbrock air cleaner that rises into the functional cowl
induction hood. The transmission has a shift kit and shifts nice and firm. The
black interior is nearly perfect – unbelievable condition and miles and miles
above your average Nova (the pictures do not do it justice). Even the dash pad is gorgeous! The original carpet is
excellent and is protected by thick carpeted mats front and rear. There is a
custom console on the floor with gages that all work and cup holders and a
place for the underlighting controller and stereo remote. ALL of these gages
work, great oil pressure, it never gets hot, and great voltage from the
charging system. The best part of all about this car is it has lovely Bones. This car has all original floors, rockers, and body panels and is 100% rust free. There are NO patches or repairs and it isn’t all covered up with undercoating so nothing is hidden. This really sets this car apart from the rest. I haven’t seen a ’73 Nova this solid since the late 1970’s. Everyone wants a California car – I’ve seen many Novas from CA and the rest of the west not as solid as this car. Even the “smugglers” compartment under the hatchback floor is rock solid and still has the original “space saver” spare tire but no air canister to pump it up. This is an extraordinary car. It was in Pennsylvania since new, what does that tell you? It should tell you that it was pampered. I just put BRAND NEW lightweight polished aluminum American
Torq Thrust wheels and brand new performance tires ($1500) on this car because
I had planned to keep it. It has air shocks in the rear so you can adjust the
ride height to your liking. It has a nice Sony tuner with a CD and MP3 player
input and a remote control with speakers added to the doors – it sounds nice
but is a low-end system. The paint is very high quality (color, color sand, clear, color sand, buff) with a few small chips
and scratches touched up that you would have to go looking for to find. Close
to $20,000 was spent restoring and hot-rodding this one. The car also has a
nice functional STEEL 2” cowl induction hood. All of the glass is excellent except for a few gouges in the
rear window – it actually looks more like some kind of glue on top of the glass
but I could not remove it. All of the trim is in very good to near mint
condition which is honestly just amazing to me. The engine runs beautifully and
has the best sound of any muscle car I have owned and I have owned at least 50
of them. This is thanks to headers and full Flowmaster exhaust with big shotgun
chrome tips so it is not loud in the car. I tell you, if you hear it you might
cream your jeans if you are a car guy (or girl!).... The car is wonderful to drive, very fast, smooth, and tight. I
would not hesitate to get in it and drive to California tomorrow. The most
amazing thing about this Nova is EVERYTHING WORKS. Here is a list of WHAT WORKS
on this car. I challenge you to compare this list to ANY OTHER vintage car you
are considering: Headlights - high and low beam; ALL parking lights including
the side markers; brake lights; turn signals; 4 way flashers; back up lights
(Yes, Really); interior light; all dash lights; all idiot lights; all gages;
tachometer; horn; wipers, heater; stereo; emergency or parking brake; seat belt
light; glovebox light; fuel gage; and the original keys open and lock
everything. The hood and hatch both close with a gentle click. Amazing
stuff if you have been around other 40+ year old cars. It also has purple LED
underlighting which works perfectly but can easily be removed or just not
turned on if that is not your style. You can’t see the light tubes unless you
crawl under the car. The car is registered in CT in my name so no inspections of
any kind are required to register it in CT. Just take the registration stub to
DMV and walk out with plates. I also have the PA title signed over to me if you
need this for outside of CT. The state of CT does not issue titles for vehicles
made prior to 1981 so I do not have one in my name from CT. ALL STATES are
required BY FEDERAL LAW to allow registration of a vehicle without a title from
a non-title state provided there is a registration from that state. Anyone who
tells you differently is WRONG. This is a promise. I will gladly fill out any
paperwork that your state requires. I do not have time
for tire kickers, chat pals or lookey-loos but I will gladly show anyone the
car BEFORE they click buy-it-now. I would prefer it if at all possible. Any
inspection BEFORE an offer is welcome. This car is well
worth what I am asking – I have priced it to sell quickly and at a loss to me. This
is a car for a person who wants to drive something different and be surrounded
by admirers at every stop. Classic car ownership is very cheap. Here in Connecticut,
fixed costs per year are $40 for early American plates; around $20 for taxes
($500 tax assessment is MANDATORY); and Hagerty Classic Auto Insurance is
around $120 a year for FULL coverage. So for about $200 (about $0.60 a day!)
you can enjoy making the coolest sound ever made by a vehicle while taking your
girl (or guy!) out for ice cream all summer long. And get more smiles per mile
than a new Corvette. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t own a classic car
– I own a bunch and if my garage were bigger I’d keep this one! Classic cars are a great investment. According to Knight Frank's Wealth Report, collectible cars were the top-performing collectible asset with prices surging 23-percent in the 12-months ending in the third quarter of 2012, and posting gains of 395-percent over 10-years. FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: The car is located about 100 miles from New York and New Jersey shipping ports. I would estimate it would cost around $500 to get the car down there. You will have to handle the broker and pay for everything of course. View my feedback and buy with confidence. Send me your phone number and I will gladly ask any questions that you may have. I sincerely want the buyer to be happy with this car. If you plan to ship the car I will do my best to hand the car off to the shipper and take condition pictures as it goes on the truck in case something happens. Thank you for your time. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt class action suit proposed, Tesla stock could outperform in 2015
Sat, Dec 27 2014A class action suit has been proposed against General Motors for a steering problem in the Chevrolet Volt. The plaintiffs claim that a defect can cause the steering to freeze intermittently, and that General Motors either knows or should have known about the problem. The case, filed in New Jersey, also claims that defective parts are replaced with the same or similar parts, which are also defective. The plaintiffs say that claims for the 100-plus-member class exceed $5 million. Read more at Law360 or at BigClassAction. Tesla Motors stock (TSLA) has risen after weeks of losses. It gained 5.4 percent during the week ending December 19, when it closed at $219.29 per share. Since then, it rose slightly more, closing at $222.26 on December 24. Morgan Stanley lowered its target price on Tesla stock from $320 to $290, predicting lower sales on the upcoming Model III than expected before, but still called Tesla a good long-term investment. Analysts at CNBC predicted Tesla to be the best performing stock of 2015. Read more at ETF Daily News. Oslo- and New York-based architecture firm Snohetta has designed a zero-emissions house that also charges an electric car. The ZEB Pilot House, built in Larvik, Norway, uses a solar panel on the roof to power the house, which also provides enough excess energy to charge an EV. To make the most of energy most efficiently, the house uses smart technology to use as much energy as it can once it's harvested. This means one can turn on appliances like the washing machine remotely while the sun is at the optimum angle in the sky - perhaps during mid-day when the residents are at work. The house also uses organic materials and is designed to save as much energy as possible. Read more at Wired.
Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month
Thu, May 1 2014And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.

GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues
Fri, Feb 27 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module. Show full PR text RECALL Subject : Inadvertent Press of Roof Panel Switch/FMVSS 118 Report Receipt Date: FEB 24, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V106000 Component(s): VISIBILITY Potential Number of Units Affected: 58,698 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) CADILLAC ATS 2013-2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS vehicles manufactured April 25, 2012, to February 9, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.
