I'm the second owner of this 74 Nova. It was built at the Van Nuys plant in Calif. When I bought it, it had the original 350 V8 with the 350 Turbo Hydromatic, (3 speed automatic trans.) Except for some upgrades and replacement parts I kept this Nova as close to original as possible. I wanted a true SS but they were either a rust bucket or going for 30K. The engine had oil leaks and was burning some oil so I decided to clone me an SS. The interior has a new dashboard pad and not some plastic cover, the door panels are new also. The stereo, that was professionally installed, is a Blaupunkt w/CD player and the front in-dash speakers are Alpine and the back are Jensens 6x9. I installed a aftermarket RPM in-dash gauge where the clock was on the upper right side. This gauge was design to look and fit like it was factory installed. I installed a rebuilt tilt steering column from a 69 Camaro because I couldn't find one from another Nova for manual shift. Most guys would just knock out the pin and remove the automatic column shift stick but that leaves that little hump, too tacky for me. And yes I did replace the rag joint coupler and installed a new heater core for good measures. It does have P/S, P/B, A/C, a rear window defogger and a third brake light on the inside that was installed by the original owner. I installed a mechanical gauge set, water temp, amps and oil pressure to keep an eye on the engine. The speedometer needs to be calibrated, it's off by 10 mph, and the floor pan under the drivers side needs to be repaired or replaced because it has some cracks in one small area. I guarantee that you won't fall through the floor but it needs to be addressed. Other than that everything works and as you can see the interior looks excellent for it's age. The engine is a NOS (new old stock) 350 L31 Vortec  stock short block with four bolt main. The top end is all Edelbrock from the cam and it timing chain set, aluminum heads, air gap intake and 800 CFM carb. I can provide the part number to these performance parts if you want to check over the spec's. I didn't just guess at what to install, I talk to Art at Edelbrock and he gave me a performance package to install on this stock L31 block. I installed a high volume Meiling oil pump for good lube and high flow water pump with 3 roll aluminum radiator for excellent cooling. Spark comes from a MSD 9000 RPM distributor. Hooker ceramic headers, Flowmaster Super 44's with 2 1/2" plumbing allows that cam to be heard and roars down the rode. The clutch is a Centerforce dual friction with a Muncie M20 and Hurst Comp Plus 4 speed behind it. HD universal joints were install and the rear end is a stock 10 bolt with highway gears. Front disc brakes are new drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads and new drums and shoes on the back. As for the body it's never been in a wreck but there's a nasty gash on the passenger side rear fender just above the tire. The chrome and stainless steel is close to excellent condition. Rims are factory 14x7 SS rally with all the trimmings and rubber is B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A. It needs a few dime size dents here and there popped out and a new paint job. There is room for improvement here that's why I didn't go too far with it. No cutting torch, welding or jerry rigging was used here and all the new parts came from Classic Industries, Summit Racing and Edelbrock. As for the SS part the horn pad is SS, the new from grill is SS, the stainless steels rings around the taillights are SS and I have both fender SS emblems and rear trunk emblem. When it came to the Nova SS Chevrolet didn't have any set pattern, some had a center console, some had just the stick shift, some had the RPM gauge in the upper left side of the speedometer, some not. I provided the honest facts, I've seen Nova's on here going for close to what I'm asking and I can't believe the awful condition or dramatic personal changes. This is the cleanest Nova around and it was built to be a daily driver and last. Buyer must pick up car or have it delivered by your own service. Title is clear and registration is up to date. When I bought the car back in 2008 it had 27,000 original miles not 127,000 and it shows. In Calif. it is smog exempt. Fill free to contact me with your questions. Sorry NO CHECKS of any kind. The price is firm.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

GM adds 1,200 jobs at Detroit-Hamtramck plant

Thu, Oct 22 2015

General Motors is making a big move at its Hamtramck, MI, factory, announcing it will add a second shift and hire over 1,200 workers within the next several months. It's expected that by early 2016, the factory will employ over 2,800 workers to build the Chevrolet Volt, Impala, Malibu, Cadillac ELR, and by early next year, the new CT6. According to GM Hamtramck spokesperson Courtney Zemke, 40 of the 1,200 positions are for salaried employees, while the remainder will be hourly positions. As for where these employees will go, positions are being made available across the factory, so GM isn't focusing on any particular area for its new hires. It's a similar story behind the hiring surge itself. GM said in its press release that the "second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand," a position Zemke reiterated. It's a matter of demand across the plant's portfolio, rather than any one particular product seriously outstripping supply. Naturally, the United Auto Workers is happy with the move. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest said in the attached release. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." Hiring is going on now, with the second shift slated to get underway in early 2016. GM's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly to Add Second Shift and More Than 1,200 Jobs Plant will nearly double its workforce by early 2016 2015-10-22 DETROIT – General Motors is nearly doubling its workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly by adding a second shift and more than 1,200 hourly and salaried jobs. The addition of a second shift will increase the plant's workforce to approximately 2,800 people when hiring is completed. The second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand for the five cars produced at Detroit-Hamtramck. "This is the result of the award-winning vehicles Detroit-Hamtramck produces and the confidence GM has in our team to build world-class quality for our customers," said Plant Manager Gary West. Second shift hiring is underway, and the shift is scheduled to begin operations in early 2016. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," said UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." The 4.1 million-square-foot Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly opened in 1985. GM has invested $1 billion in the plant over the last six years, making it one of the company's most-agile manufacturing facilities in North America.

GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met

Sat, May 9 2015

After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.
