72 Nova 2 Owner 307 3 Speed 2 Door Sedan W/ 77000 Original Miles. on 2040-cars
Thompson, Connecticut, United States
First off, this is the personal vehicle of a 75 year old female friend of mine. She purchased this car when a close friend of hers died at age 95 in 1989. She is now the 2nd owner. The car was garaged it's entire life with the exception of 3 years when it was simply in a carport. When I tell you this car RUNS and DRIVES like a brand new base model car, that is no exaggeration. I was driving it to my home doing about 45 and I braked HARD and the car did not pull or deviate from a straight path. I booted it from a stop sign (just to see) and it smoked the tire for about 20 feet. Runs great! Shifts perfectly. Tires like new. Exhaust IS new. There is not a rippled panel on this car and not a door ding or scratch evident. There IS rust starting in a few spots (pictured) and the rear fender wells at the bottom are rotted (ALL spots easily contained and easily repaired). I banged all over the frame and it appears solid. The engine, tranny and ANY running gear have NEVER been touched or removed from the car. ALL original to the car. The carb has been changed but the choke activated like it was new. There is an aftermarket radio (plain jane) that plays well. Crank windows, NO AC, no power nuthin but DOES have power steering cuz it drives AWESOME. She has the metal GM plate that was issued with the car, the original manual, she even has every registration to the car since new (along with some McDonalds bags folded up in case she needed a rubbish bag). If you were to put maybe up to a grand in new panels and paint and a new seat cover that a DOZEN places online list them for $239-279 COMPLETE, you'd have one heck of a nice dependable CLASSIC unmolested car. Trunk is solid with no rust, even at the spring towers. I'm telling you this is a real survivor. On the drive to my house from hers, the FIRST turn I took onto the main road.......FIRST turn I had a guy gawking and giving me the thumbs up. Just a nice nice example of a car that LITERALLY was driven by two little old ladies. Don't miss this chance. I told her I'd offer it as an "auction" with the understanding that it IS being offered at a local Hot Rod Shop on their lot, so don't mess around. If it sells there, the auction ends! At her request I put a "buy it now" of $7500. Contact me if you want to make a buy it now offer and I will propose it to her. She wants this SOLD so get serious. Fly in to Worcester MA and I'll pick you up to see it if you want. Ask questions and I'll be 100% honest, not only cuz of my 100% Ebay rating, but cuz I have no interest in it's sale, other than to help an elderly friend (and I am quite the car nut). Again, good luck. Fran

How real is the Chevy Bolt EV and will it really cost $30,000?
Tue, Jan 13 2015"This is us bragging that we can do this kind of car." That's how Michael Simcoe, GM's executive director for NA exteriors, described the Chevy Bolt EV concept, which made a surprise appearance at the Detroit Auto Show today. While there was talk of a 2017 production debut, this is for sure a concept vehicle. But that means the ideas behind the vehicle are perhaps more important than the details. For example, no one is talking about what size battery might appear in a production Bolt, but Simcoe would talk about how rapid progress in battery improvements made it possible for GM to make the bold Bolt declaration that promises 200 miles and a price tag of around $30,000 (after incentives). But if the Bolt makes it to market, it won't be until 2017 (as rumored) or later, is it really fair to promote the car as being available with a federal tax credit? For one thing, credits for plug-in vehicles may change in the next few years, but if the laws stay the same, each manufacturer is limited to 200,000 vehicles before the credits start to decline. GM is justifiably proud that it's sold over 70,000 Volts thus far, but with a new model coming out later this year and a few years to go until the Bolt potentially arrives, GM could be pushing right up against that 200,000 limit when the Bolt goes on sale. But Volt executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told AutoblogGreen that, "We're just trying to take some of the confusion out." "Think about talking to the average consumer," she said. "First, going through the explanation of how the federal tax credit was set up, how it's being used and so on. [In the industry, we] have the luxury of understanding the nuances of that regulation, but right now people who aren't in the marketplace, they don't have the luxury of all that. It's already hard to communicate the details so we gave them data in a way that is what they're used to seeing." There was one question that drove the two-year Bolt gestation and design period, Simcoe said: What does a better battery offer a vehicle designer? "We've got a number of spaces we play in for powertrain technology and obviously electrification is one of them," he said. "With Volt 1 and then the Spark EV, with that development and batteries getting better for us, we started doing some practical packaging to deliver a vehicle which was not the traditional aero form which you see around electric vehicles.
The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
