I have  for sale my 1976 chevy nova. I bought in 6 years ago to  build and restore.  Its done.  had  a 6 cyl in it when I got it.   I put a  1991 chevy 350 engine in it  from a   C10 pick up truck.  It has  center bolt neads.  I had the car painted electric blue, and poly coated. Its very nice looking still.  has a few blisters coming thru. I will try to list this all. but its a lot.  I did this car as my hobby.  theres nothing,  I didn't do.  The interior is all black, New bucket seats,  hurst ratchet floor shifter, tach, 2 sets of autometer gauges,  crager chrome wheels, ceramic headers,  high rise manifold, holley street avenger card/650 cfm,  mild camshaft, endelbrock fuel pump, stainless steel fuel line front to back, brand new gas tank, new tires, the rear tires are firehawks, 12" wide.  the exhaust system is flow master with dual super 40's, side cut outs  just behind the doors, the engine is mostly chrome. block is painted, valve covers are chrome plated aluminum, very nice. distributor is a MSD, I had the heads rebuilt, new valves, lifters and rods.  I installed uner hood mirrors, custom made for the year. very eye catching at car shows. I installed  blue led lights thru out the engine compartment, it really shows nice at the shows. Brakes are new, master cyl new, installed a line lock front braking system, controlled by a switch.  The rear is brand new, from a shop in Florida, it has 331 gears, all new brake plates, cyls, parts.  It really roars to life. The body was primed, painted and clear coated.  it has 4 years on the paint, theres some blisters around some trim. Car is very fast, sound incredible.  When I start it the house shakes.  Its more dependable then a new car.  I installed a electric fan, and a new summit aluminum radiator. New water pump, chrome  pulleys, chrome alternator, billet air cleaner.  Im sure I missed some thing.  Nothing was not redone.  What a great car. I won about 10 trophys with it.  Its  a head turner, needs NOTHING.  Just put the key in it and go. Has a new radio/ cd player/ ipod. I enjoyed building it, and probably have too much money in it to get it back.  I am into other ventures and think its time to sell.  Its local here in NJ.  All the electric wiring is good, everything works.  What a flashy car. If your seeking a hot rod that is already done for you, this is it.  All I ever ran in it is Sunoco ultra and octane booster.  I raced a mustang on the high way and left him in my rear view mirror.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.

Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt

Fri, Jan 3 2014

Nissan and Chevrolet both ended 2013 with solid sales figures for their plug-in vehicles, the first two that were released (all the way back at the end of 2010) from major automakers. As has been the story for most of 2013, December sales for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt were roughly the same. When we left the year-to-date running tally at the end of November, the Volt was at 20,702, while the Leaf was at 20,080. As you can tell from the image above (if you've been noticing the trend in these EV sales monthly flash-reports), the Leaf outsold the Volt, but was it enough to put the Nissan on top for the year? In 2013, Nissan sold 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012. Almost. The Leaf made a valiant attempt, and did have its best month ever with 2,529 units sold. That means that for 2013, Nissan moved a total of 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012 (that year, Nissan sold only 9,819 Leafs in the US) and actually more than 2012 and 2011 Leaf sales combined (which was 19,493). Nissan continues to see the effects of its price drop and expanded sales areas, with Georgia rapidly becoming a Leaf hotbed. Nissan's Paige Presley said that Atlanta was once again the Leaf's number one market and that, "sales are expanding deeper into Georgia markets such as Macon and Columbus." The Volt saw a boost upwards from a November slump and sold 2,392 units in December. That puts the plug-in hybrid's annual total at 23,094, just down from the 23,461 sold in 2012. For all of 2013, though, the Volt outsold the Leaf by 484 vehicles. In a competition like this, we'll count that as a win for both sides. We will our more detailed monthly green car sales report, which covers more of the fuel efficient vehicles on the market, up soon.
