Engine:305 c.i.
Drive Type: Manual
Model: Nova
Mileage: 33,800
Trim: Rally
1976 Nova Rally SS, 305 c.i., 4 barrel Rochester carb, Borg-Warner Super T10 4 speed, 10 bolt 3.73 posi. 33,800 original miles on the body. Engine is out of a 79 Malibu. It has been freshened up with a new valve job and hardened valve seals, bottom end of motor was checked and needed nothing! Runs perfect, shifts great. Body is very solid with original floors, trunk, fenders, quarter panels, rocker panels etc. Car was stripped down to bare metal. There was some minor body work done at the front and back of the rear wheel wells because of some rust starting but it was nothing major. Rust was cut out and small patches welded in and all metal body filler was used. There are 2 small spots on the passenger door that will some attention as this was restored about 8 years ago. Paint job is not the greatest, base coat clear but showing some signs of age. Still the car is a good 10 footer but the new owner would probably want to repaint it at some point. Black stripes are decals. Drives great, no shakes or rattles, just like a car with this low mileage should. I bought it when it had only 28,000 miles on it and went over the whole car. Garage kept. When I had the car on Ebay a few months ago, i had a radical 400 small block in it, but that engine ended up having some issues so it was pulled. The new parts I put on it are brakes, radiator, waterpump, shocks, Dynomax headers, clutch setup, transmission rebuilt, hurst shifter, the 3.73 posi was built new by a professional drivetrain shop, custom bent 2 1/2" stainless exhaust with Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers. The interior is all original except the front seats. They are out of a Camaro and I recovered them. Door panels, trim, dash, headliner, kick panels, console, etc are all in great shape. The original carpet is starting to show its age in a few spots but still looks good. Heater, defrost, blower all work great. All dash lights work, along with the horn, wipers, dome light, even that damn key buzzer!! Only the backup lights don't work because I never put a switch on the tranny. Glass is good, doors open and close like they are new. All new weatherstripping. 8" ralley wheels with 215 70 15 tires with lots of tread yet. Chrome around windows are in ok shape for aluminum, some scratches but you know how that gets over the years. Bumpers are nice for the most part with only a ding here and there but still shine very good. Rear tail lights are in great shape inside and out. I'm sure i'm missing some thing but I hope I described this car enough to make the new owner comfortable with what they are getting. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. I just have one too many toys right now, so i'm selling this one. If you like this generation Nova, I think you will love this one. Email any questions, just don't ask what the reserve price is please! Thanks for looking.

Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt
Fri, Jan 3 2014Nissan 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.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
