1978 nova in original unrestored condition. Car is all original except for the wheels. Has a good running LM1 4 barrel 350 engine believed to be numbers match but not verified, does not tick or knock and runs smoothly on all 8 cylinders. Transmission is a turbo 350 and is not working at this time (has no forward or reverse movement) Rearend is 8.5 inch 10 bolt with 3.08 gears. Car has been sitting for 5 years when the transmission stopped working. I just put some fresh gas in it and it started right up and ran great, the choke even works on the quadrajet. Fuel pump is weak and will only supply enough fuel to run the car if you pour a little gas down the carb first to start the car so it moves the pump rod faster, just cranking the car over it wont pull fuel if the car sits for a day or two., but once it starts it will keep the car running just fine. Brakes need blead but if you pump them up it will stop it. Passenger side door window was broken out so it needs that. Only rust in the car is right behind the rear wheels on both sides but isnt bad. Only bondo in the car is in the drivers side rear quarter up high and is cracking out its about a 6x6 area not bad at all. I believe it still has most of its original paint on the car as you can tell they tried to blend that quarter panel in a long time ago after it was repaired. Body is very nice for its age but has a few small bumps and bruises, bumpers are nice, all electrical is in working order except the gas quage is stuck on full even the vacuum economy guage in the dash is working. Trunk is perfect, floors are very nice just some surface rust nothing major. Interior is complete except for carpet. I have the original build sheet i found under the rear seat and it proves this car is a real 350 4 barrel car from the factory. It is untouched original car and is a great car to restore or just throw a transmission in it and a little work and drive it while your working on it. Needs very little in the way of parts its all there. Cars like this are getting hard to find that havnt been butchered up. If your looking for a great start with no surprises this is it. Car was bought new in dry Montana and has stayed her its whole life. Please feel free to ask questions if i missed something. Buyer must arrange for pickup at my residence i will not move the car, i will help get it loaded. Reserve is set very low for this car as it is just time to let it go to someone else, i have other projects in front of this one and i cant even get to those so i have no need to keep it. Thanks

The Volt Dance had precedent; meet the Chevy Footlockers
Sun, Dec 14 2014Marketing in the auto industry can get weird sometimes – really quite bizarre, in fact. For example, remember the Chevy Volt dance from the 2009 Los Angles Auto Show? If not, a group boogied to a song about the electric car, and it was every bit as awkward (and hilarious) as that sounds. In fact, that innocent bit of promotion lives in infamy, as some pundits grabbed hold of it during General Motors' bailout and asked why America's tax dollars were going to such things. The Chicago Auto Show has been digging through its vault of vintage videos, and it has come up with something that might actually be worse than that Volt-themed routine. They're called the Chevy Footlockers, and they're a dance troupe somehow promoting the Cavalier at the 1988 Chicago show. The connection between the car and their routine is unclear, but it's gloriously cheesy in a Chippendales-meets-AC Slater sort of way. Also, there are props towards the end, but we aren't going to spoil them for you, because you just have to watch for yourself. As a bonus, there's another (brief) clip below showing a female dance group with the Geo Tracker at the '91 Chicago show, and they sing, too. Scroll down to watch both of these oddities.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online
Wed, Jun 25 2014Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.

Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.
