Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129.

Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end early.

You are bidding on what I refer to as a barn find, 1970 Nova. The indicated miles of 95000 are said to be original. One family owned, still retains the original owners manual and protecto plate. The son of the seller originally purchased the vehicle new and then passed away several years ago. At that point the father kept the vehicle primarily stored, driven rarely. In recent years the Nova has had some maintenance performed in an attempt to keep the car in running condition. As the car sits now, it will run and drive but I would suggest a full mechanical inspection prior to any long hauls. Description as follows:

Exterior:
* one older repaint to its original code 48; Forest Green.
* All exterior chrome, trim and glass in very nice condition
* Set of 4 14x7 Chevrolet Rallys on new tires
* Various nicks and chips, small ding on passenger rear quarter
* paint also shows some bubbling and blistering, spot on hood center where paint appears to have delaminated?
* Could be considered a 20 footer in its current condition or a drive as you restore car. but to make it nice, it will require paint.

Interior:
* Interior has been partially redone with seat covers and new carpet to match its original trim code of 745 Dark Green.
* Still very original condition with correct steering wheel, original AM radio. Overall interior is actually very nice.
* Recently refinished trunk area with mat and spare tire assembly. Looks like trunk floor has had a couple of repair areas as well.

Mechanical:
* Correct 350 V-8 2 barrel, very original appearing engine compartment.
* Still has factory AC in place, good compressor, belt is still hooked up. At the very least it will need a recharge.
* 2 speed automatic trans
* dual exhaust
* front end rebuilt and brakes redone approx. 5 years ago but only driven 800 miles since.
* Power steering, manual brakes
* exhaust leak off passenger side manifold, will need a new donut gasket.
* fuel gauge inoperable, always reads full, could be a ground?
* Other than that , heater, wipers, lights all work.

To summarize, this old Nova is somewhat of a survivor, has the potential to be a nice car with some work and money. Could also serve as a good daily driver. Regarding rust or rust repair, all original panels. 2-3 areas on underside will need some attention. Also appears that both rockers have been fixed at some time.

Please take the time to review all the pics and don't hesitate to call with further questions; 517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed MI dealer.

Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf sales show big drops in September

Thu, Oct 1 2015

As most readers likely know, it's not just lower gas prices that are affecting plug-in vehicle sales. The two long-time sales leaders in the US - the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt - are getting long in the tooth. First introduced in late 2010, the vehicles have been updated here and there since then, but recent sales figures have been lagging behind where they were in 2014. This trend continued in September, with sales of both vehicles down in a big way compared to last year. Sales of Nissan Leaf totaled 1,247 for the month of September. This is down a whopping 56.7 percent from September 2014, but thankfully the year-to-date sales are not quite as negative. So far this year, Nissan has sold 13,630 Leafs, which is "just" 37.5 percent lower tan the YTD total at this point in 2014 (21,822). This decrease swims against the overall direction of Nissan's September sales, which were up 18 percent over last year and set a new September record. The Volt sold 949 units last month, down 31.9 percent from last September. Year to date, the Volt has sold 9,264 units, which is 36.3 percent lower than the number of Volts that were sold in the first nine months of 2014 (14,540). This downward trend might be coming to an end soon. The new Chevy Volt will go on sale in 11 US states later this fall, and the 2017 model will be available nationwide next spring. An updated Leaf for the 2016 model year also offers more miles – 107, vs 84 in the 2015 version – so potential customers who have been waiting for the latest and greatest will soon not have any excuses. We'll have our broader look at green car sales in the US up soon. Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid ev sales hybrid sales volt

Netflix to feature electric cars from GM and others in programming

Sun, Feb 5 2023

LOS ANGELES — Netflix has unveiled a new star for some of its upcoming programming: electric vehicles from General Motors and other automakers. The streaming service announced an agreement on Thursday to feature vehicles including the Chevrolet Bolt, the electric GMC Hummer pickup and the Cadillac Lyriq in TV series and films "where relevant." The companies will highlight the partnership in a commercial featuring Will Ferrell that will air during the Feb. 12 Super Bowl. Netflix and GM called the agreement "part of a commitment to a more sustainable future." Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix said it will help creators "better understand how EVs can complement and enhance their stories." Shows that will feature GM's electric vehicles include "Love is Blind," "Queer Eye" and "Unstable." Netflix productions also will include electric vehicles made by other automakers, the company said.   Marketing/Advertising TV/Movies Chevrolet GM GMC Hummer
