My Dad has decided to sell his 63 SS Nova Convertible. He has owned the car since 1984 and I think it has been in Nevada since new in 1963.  We restored it about 14 years ago and rebuilt the front end, rear suspension, new TH350 with shift kit, new paint, new interior, new top etc. The suspension was converted to 5 lug and wagon springs used on all four corners with a factory sway bar. 

However, we reused the 327 that was in it but it only lasted for about 6 months. The car sat for the next 13 years, sometimes covered, sometimes not, sometimes garaged, sometimes not, but has been in a garage for the last six years. 

We just installed a new 350 to replace the 327. We also just installed a new radiator, new gas tank, new hoses, battery and cables, rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, and more to go with the new engine. The trans has about 4,000 miles on it and the engine has about 100 miles on it. Exhaust is 2.5 inches with Flowmasters. The folding top assembly had been restored right before we got it and all top metal pieces repainted and detailed. The car was repainted a deep Maroon with Dark Grey seats and carpet and a Maroon top. Even the spatter paint in the trunk was Maroon flecked. Dad fabbed a firewall support bracket that's in the trunk and just needs to be bolted back on. Wheels are 15 inch Centerlines.

The car is in great shape and runs good.

Unfortunately, the paint did not hold up as well as the rest of the car. It is cracking in some areas and chipped on all four corners of the hood. There is no material rust in the car but there is some bubbling in the paint on the lower driver's side quarter. The trunk has some scale but is solid. No rust in the subframe, rockers or anywhere else.

This is a great, solid car that we've had for 30 years, but its time to pass it along to a new caretaker. Here are a couple pics and a link to many more.

$500 deposit required within 48 hours of winning bid.  Car can be delivered within 400 miles for gas and trailer rental costs.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
