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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015
Tue, Jul 8 2014Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.
Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant
Mon, Jun 23 2014The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.
Chevy Volt replacement battery cost varies wildly, up to $34,000
Fri, Jan 10 2014There's a growing hubbub in the plug-in vehicle community over what looks like some ridiculously cheap replacement batteries for the Chevrolet Volt going up for sale. GM Parts Online, for example, is selling a replacement Volt battery with an MSRP of $2,994.64 but, with an online discount, the price comes down to $2,305.88. For the 16-kWh pack in the 2012 Volt, that comes to a very low $144.11 per kilowatt hour (kWH). But is it a real deal? How can it be, when a Chevy dealer may quote you a price of up to $34,000 to replace the pack? For a 16-kWh Volt pack, $2,305.88 comes to a very low $144.11 per kWh. But is it a real deal? Battery packs in alternative propulsion vehicles are usually priced by the kWh and, historically, they've been thought to be in the range of $500-per-kWh for OEM offerings. Since automakers are understandably secretive about their costs, we still don't know what the real number is today, but we do know it varies by automaker. Tesla, for example, has said it pays less than $200-per-kWH at the cell level but, of course, a constructed pack would be more. Whatever is going on, li-ion battery prices are trending downward. So, $144.11 certainly sounds great, but what's the story here? Kevin Kelly, manager of electrification technology communications for General Motors, reminded AutoblogGreen that GM Parts Online is not the official GM parts website and that, "the costs indicated on the site are not what we would charge our dealers or owners for a replacement battery. There would be no cost to the Volt owner if their battery needs replacement or repair while the battery is under the eight year/100,000 mile limited warranty coverage provided by Chevrolet." A single price tag also can't be accurate for everyone, Kelly said. "If the customer needs to have their battery repaired beyond the warranty, the cost to them would vary depending on what needs to be replaced or repaired (i.e. number of modules, which specific internal components need replacement, etc.)." he said. "So, it's hard for us to tell you exactly what the cost would be to the customer because it varies depending on what might need to be repaired/replaced. As a result, the core charge would vary." But, is the $2,300 price even accurate for anyone? Thanks to a reader comment, we see that this similar item on New GM Parts makes it look like the lithium-ion modules that Kelly mentioned – where a lot of the expensive bits are – are not included.
