Up for auction is my 1975 Chevy Nova Custom Hatchback.
The car is not perfect but is in very good shape, runs and drives excellent and is a perfect vehicle for someone looking for a daily driver muscle car! The engine is a 327 small block taken out of a 1968 Chevy Nova. The body is a Nova Custom Hatchback with 73,000 miles. I had the intention of making this an SS clone as you can see by the SS emblem on the front grill. I do have the side and rear SS stickers.
The gun metal grey paint job is fair but looks pretty good from 5 feet. There are some spots of body work that need touch up as well as a bubble or two. You will see these clearly in the pictures. The interior has been re-done by painting existing panels and replacing those that were too far gone, having the front bench seat professionally recovered locally here in the Charlotte, NC area and replacing the carpet. The dash is in excellent shape with no cracks. I replaced the factory rally rims with 15x8 Weld rims in the back and 15x6 Weld rims in the front. The tires are in great shape. The original rally rims are available to the winning bidder at no cost if interested.
Here is what has been done to the car since I have owned it:
Interior re-do as described above.
Front end tear down with a deep cleaning and painting of the engine bay
Replaced the radiator support.
Replaced the rear main seal
New plug wires
New distributor
New alternator
New hoses and belts
Coolant has been flushed
Painted the engine
New intake
New valve, timing chain and air cleaner covers
New heater core
New battery and battery support plate
New rear leaf springs
New rear air shocks
New front shocks
New gas tank
New exhaust from the headers down to the Thrush turbo mufflers
New bushings
New door and hatch weatherstrip
New door pins so the doors do not sag, they now close as they should
The front windshield has a couple of scratches on the drivers side that I have not been able to buff out. The rest of the glass is in good shape. Hazards work but the turn signals do not blink, they do light up. I have not yet replaced a second fuse so it could be as simple as that. The radio works but I do not have speakers installed. Wiring is run to the back hatch area.
I drive this car back and forth to work a couple of times a week, about 30 miles round trip. It runs great and drives very well.
I'm trying to represent this car as honestly as possible but if you have any questions please let me know.
A non refundable deposit of $500 is due upon auction end. The full balance is due within 7 business days of auction end. The car and title will be turned over once payment has fully cleared. The car is sold as is, with no warranty and no refund.

GM CEO to meet with U.S. lawmakers over job cuts
Fri, Nov 30 2018WASHINGTON — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra plans to visit Capitol Hill next week to discuss the company's plans to halt production at five plants in North America next year and cut up to 15,000 jobs, two congressional aides said on Friday. GM has come under harsh criticism from lawmakers from both major political parties, and from President Donald Trump, since Monday when it announced the biggest restructuring for the U.S. No. 1 carmaker since its bankruptcy a decade ago. Barra is expected to meet with lawmakers from Michigan and Ohio, where GM plans to shutter three plants, as well as senior leaders in Congress. GM did not immediately comment. Barra has been calling lawmakers this week to explain the decision to end production. Trump has threatened to revoke subsidies for GM. The Detroit automaker plans to halt production next year at three assembly plants: the Lordstown small-car factory near Youngstown, Ohio; the Detroit-Hamtramck complex in Detroit; and the Oshawa, Ontario, assembly complex near Toronto. It will also stop building several models now assembled at those plants, including the Chevrolet Cruze, the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, the Cadillac CT6 and the Buick LaCrosse. Additionally, GM plans to shutter the Warren transmission plant outside Detroit and a plant that makes electric motors and drivetrains outside Baltimore, Maryland. The Cruze compact car will be discontinued in the U.S. market in 2019, although GM may continue building it in Mexico for other markets, Barra said. Reporting by David Shepardson. Related Video:
Nissan Leaf sets new November sales record, Chevy Volt drops again
Tue, Dec 2 2014When you talk to people in the plug-in vehicle industry, one theme you hear repeatedly is that the more plug-in cars that are out there, the better things are for everyone. One reason is that more EVs build a need for more public chargers, and more chargers mean more people see that plugging in is feasible. But there's still something to be said for old-fashioned competition, and in the sales race between the two long-running plug-in vehicles in the US, the Nissan Leaf is resoundingly beating the Chevy Volt for 2014. In fact, it won't be long before the EV's cumulative sales top the PHEV's. But that's a topic for another month. For now, we have the sales results from November. Unsurprisingly, Nissan set another monthly record (that is, the best Leaf sales in any November, the 22nd time in a row we've seen a monthly record) with 2,687 sales last month. That's up 34 percent over last November and up 35 percent year-to-date. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of electric vehicle marketing, said in a statement that, "Our 'Kick Gas' ad campaign and 'No Charge to Charge' launch in Chicago and Atlanta drove an increase in November Leaf sales. Even with gas prices falling across the country, consumers appreciate that the cost of driving a Nissan Leaf is still a fraction of that of a gas-powered car." Over on the Chevy side of the ledger, there were 1,336 Volt sales last month, down 30.4 percent from the 1,920 sold in November 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 16.4 percent and Chevy has sold 17,315 Volts in 2014. As we said last month, the Volt slump might be due to people waiting on the new version to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show next month before going on sale in the second half of 2015. So far in 2014, Nissan has sold 27,098 Leafs. Look for our detailed post of US green car sales in the near future. Until then, please discuss last month's Leaf and Volt sale in the comments, below.

GM says its electric pickup truck is 'in development'
Thu, Jun 6 2019GM President Mark Reuss just reiterated the company's support for an electric pickup project. He also claimed that GM is going to be selling its future electric cars at "very average transaction prices" during the same conference with Wall Street analysts. Previously, Mary Barra informed the world of GM's electric pickup truck aspirations, but didn't tell us anything else. Reuss says the truck is already in development, though, according to a Wards Auto report. "We will have a complete electric lineup, including a pickup truck that's in development," Reuss said. This comment marks the second time GM has gone on the record about its intentions to bring an electric pickup to market. Additionally, Reuss said GM's third-generation global EV platform will be used to help develop the electric pickup. This platform was recently announced to underpin at least 20 new EVs from GM in the future — the platform itself is slated to be unveiled in 2021. Of course, this platform will be flexible and modular to allow various body styles to be used with it, a truck being one of those. Reuss still hasn't said what GM brand the pickup will be sold under, or what class of truck it will be. GM thinks this new platform is also going to be what helps it drive down the cost of building EVs. "We'll reach parity a lot sooner than people think," Reuss said comparing EVs to traditional gas-powered engines. "We're driving down the cost of batteries and the whole EV in general." As for electric pickups, Ford is also deep in development of its own electric F-150. However, neither of these truck projects have official timelines on them, so we can't say when they'll hit the market. For now, the cross-town rivals are both in development with their respective electric pickups. Even further across town is Rivian (in which Ford just invested half a billion dollars), a company that says its electric R1T pickup is right around the corner, with the official due date being end of 2020 for the time being.
