SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL ULTIMATE MAGAZINE PROJECT BLOWN PRO STREET/RACE NOVA

 

Here it is, perhaps the most involved and surely one of the most popular major magazine project cars ever created.  This was Super Chevy Magazine’s Saturday Night Special Nova.  Featured prominently in multiple issues of the magazine and the center feature of a special book on Novas, published by the editors of Super Chevy. This 1963 Nova SS has never been run and all the parts are as new.  It started life as a showcase for Chris Alston’s Chassisworks’ then-new bolt-on front clip, installed in his shop in Sacramento and evolved over the course of its build into a full tube chassis car with the very best that the industry had to offer.  Its chassis cradles a blown 421-inch small-block Chevy built by Klein Racing Engines. (Made over 800 horsepower with very minimal boost, on pump gas!)  It has all the top-of-the-line parts starting with a Bow-tie block and Dart Raised Runner heads and topped off by a fully polished BDS 8-71 supercharger with a pair of Vrbancic Brothers/Carb Shop blueprinted Holley 850cfm blower carbs. There's all the top internals, forged stroker crank, H-beam rods, forged blower pistons, coupled with a cam belt drive, Billet Fabrication oil pan, Titan billet oil pump, MSD 7AL ignition, custom headers, evacupan air pump system, prelber, etc.  Backing up the powerplant is a dual-disc, fully adjustable Titan billet clutch; the same type used in Alcohol racecars.  It is a state-of-the art piece and is housed in a fully approved Lakewood scattershield and connects to a legendary, never used 5-speed Lenco planetary transmission!  Out back is a Chassisworks custom Fab 9 narrowed rearend fitted with Strange Engineering axles and aluminum center section. The rear suspension is all business with Koni aluminum coilover shocks, stainless four-link with sway bar and wishbone track locator.  There’s even a set of chromed wheelie bars! The front end is all Chassisworks (polished stainless steel upper and lower A-arms, aluminum rack, coilovers, forged spindles). Wilwood discs on all four corners and fully polished Weld Wheels billet five-star racing wheels get it rolling on massive Mickey Thompson rubber.  There is so much more to this car that it would take a week to outline. This well-documented Nova deserves to be completed -- then DRIVEN.  Everything is included, from a full compliment of carbon fiber AutoMeter gauges to custom-made Percy speed glass.  All aluminum work is complete: interior, trunk, engine compartment! For more detailed description of the building of this project, do a Google search and you’ll find all you need to know.  But please feel free to contact me via ebay mail (or reach out to me direct at 9O9215O757, anytime) if you have any questions and want added images.  The car has been kept in a climate-controlled environment and is ready for a new home.  This would be the ultimate street racer, bracket car or a perfect investment to finish and sell overseas where foreign car enthusiasts are gobbling up American iron for big bucks!  Title is clear and in my name.  No issues!  I will do all I can to help arrange shipping to anywhere in the world at the buyer’s complete expense. This is the real deal and without question would cost a tremendous amount of cash to duplicate -- without the history of course!

Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu

Tue, Jul 28 2015

The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way. Related Video: GM Paving Way to Smarter and Safer Driving at All-New Active Safety Test Area 22 crash-avoidance technologies offered on 2016 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac models MILFORD, Mich. 2015-07-24 – Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac will offer 22 different active safety technologies across their 2016 model year U.S. lineups, ranging from driver alerts to those that automatically intervene and assist the driver in critical situations. Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.

Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8

Thu, Oct 8 2015

I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?
