1966 Chevy Nova 4 Door with a body on restoration. Yes it is a restored starting life as an original 283 V8 4 door. The car originally started its life as a 283 Automatic with the upper trim package for a Chevy 2. I purchased the car mostly restored needing some minor assembly and detail work. The car has a very nice repaint to its original Willow Green.  The 350 is a 71 dated motor with a rebuild mated up to a 86 4 speed removed from an 86 Camaro. This Nova runs and drives great. It makes a great beach surf cruiser. Has 15x7 rally wheels with original center caps and new rings. The tires are NEW BF Goodrich 225 front and 245 rear 60 15's. This Nova has new suspension bushings, Shocks, Performance exhaust, Interior (original uncracked dash pad), Paint, Rebuilt Motor (Modern Distributor ignition system) and trans, New brakes and brake lines, New tinted windshield and gasket, LED Headlights with daytime led lights, All new locks keyed alike including the glove box door, Tach and Guage package, Corvett Steering Wheel with Leather wrap. Car has approximately 500 miles on her since she was finished. Everything works with the exception of AM Radio, Horn works but not hooked up with the Corvette steering wheel, Speedometer, cable is included but not installed, Windshield wiper blades are included but not installed (I prefer the no wiper arm look). Wiper switch works in both positions. The windshield washer hoses are not hooked up in the engine compartment. Detailed trunk.

Body: This Nova has all its original sheet metal except the front LH fender appears to have been replaced at some point. All doors and trunk open and shut smoothly. The windows all roll up and down smoothly. It is solid in the back and trunk. Lower quarters and rockers are original and in great condition with no rust. It has a very solid engine compartment all the way back to the cowl. No rust around the cowl or windows. The inside where the front door hinges are is is a typical rust area but there is no rust at all. The inside of the doors and door openings to the body were not re painted and are original paint. No rust showing at all. showing some rust. The underside of the trunk lid is original paint solid as well. No rust in the seams at all. The body is not saging and all doors line up nicely. The doors are solid with no rust in the seams at all. The grille is nice and the trim is in good overall shape. Bumpers have nice chrome with a few dings and 1 dent in rear LH side of Bumper. This was the next thing I was going to do. Either have these rechromed or buy a new pair. All trim comes on or with the car. The lower rocker and side trim is off the car. I painted the bottom black and used a tape stripe in place of putting the original pieces back on. I like this look better. The trim pieces are in nice original condition with normal wear and come with the car.

Interior and Compartment: The interior is Completely redone. The seats recovered in with cloth inserts. There is a new headliner. The carpet is new and done in black. Looks great. New Door panels and arm rests. The front door handles were reversed, so opening the door is down instead of up. All dash lights and guages work except the speedometer is not hooked up. Cable included. The dome light comes on and turns on with the headlight switch. Even the cigarette lighter works. Heater and fan switches work great. Heater works excellent. The kick panel vents operate properly. The only area that could uses a little better attention is the windlace that goes around the interior door frames. I was going to replace it with new windlace. it is very inexpensive and would make for e a nicer detail. The e Brake works. I have a new handle to install. I also ordered a new set of Visors and visor brackets as the originals did not come with the car. They will be installed before the car is sold. The steering wheel is off a 69 Corvette and has been covered with a leather wrap. The seat belts are aftermarket. The fronts are shoulder harneses but I have not hooked up the shoulder belt yet. I will leave that to the new owner to decide it they want to or not.

Trunk: The trunk is in great condition with no rust. It has the original jack assembly. There is a spare but not sure if the wheel is original or not.

Underside: The subframe, front inner fenders, rear wheel wells and trunk area are solid with no rust at all. As well as the subframe rails. It looks like the rear may have an undercoating spryed on at some point. New suspension bushings and shocks.

Engine: Runs strong with no noises. No leaks. YES NO leaks. Rare for a Chevy 350. It sounds like it may have a very mild cam. The intake is an Edlebrock and the carb is an Edlebrock as well with an electric choke. The choke is not working and maybe not hooked up. I haven't messed with it as the car starts easy and idles smooth when cold and warm. The radiator is a date coded Harrison out of a 66 327 Nova. It is a 4 core. The top has a dent on it from when I had it shipped to me. It works fine and can be easily fixed by a radiator shop if desired. Has a great sounding performance exhaust new from exhaust manifolds to rear exit. There are provisions at the front of the pipes to uncork the exhaust is desired. Also new Battery and Cables.

Trans: This is a 4 speed out of an 86 Camaro. Shifts great and the clutch is solid. The hump was added as this was originally a column shif automatic. The pedals are out of an original manual trans 66 Nova. The shifter is a 442 handle. The handle is close to the seat and hits when in 4th gear but works fine. This shifter is probably woth a lot of money. I was going to sell it and add a shift handle thet sat mor forward. Your choice.

I will be more than happy to show the Nova or take some more pictures of specific areas if needed.

Nissan recalls 3.5 million vehicles over airbag sensor

Sat, Apr 30 2016

Nissan is recalling 3.53 million vehicles globally – 3.2 million in the United States – because the front passenger airbag may or may not deploy properly in the event of a crash. In affected vehicles, the occupant sensing system may not properly register a person sitting in the passenger seat. Passenger-side airbags in roughly 622,000 Nissan Sentra models built between 2013 and 2016 may deploy in crashes when they shouldn't, such as when a child is in the seat. 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, and LEAF, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles suffer from the opposite problem. In those models, the airbag may not deploy when it is supposed to. Nissan is aware of at least three crashes where airbags in one of the above models did not function properly, resulting in "moderate injuries." There have already been four recalls since 2013 for similar issues in Nissan vehicles. If you own one of these cars, expect a letter from Nissan in short order (or from GM if you own a Chevy City Express). Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Air Bag may not Deploy due to OCS Error , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: APR 26, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF and Sentra, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash. CONSEQUENCE: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury. REMEDY: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

This is how GM is hiding new Chevy Volt in public

Wed, Oct 1 2014

General Motors is letting the public know that, well, it's not about to let the public know anything else about the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. But the automaker is willing to talk about its camouflaging process for upcoming versions of the extended-range plug-in. So it's a half-hearted secret, at best. GM actually has a "camouflage engineer" charged with creating ways to disguise the styling of new vehicles. In the Volt's case, the company is applying black and white swirly color patterns on top of the materials, such as plastics, vinyl and foam, that are used liberally across the body. It's all part of a teaser campaign that started last month with pictures of part the 2016 Volt. Earlier this month, GM said it was keeping track of Volt drivers' habits as it works on the next-gen model. The company noted that more than four out of five trips are being made in all-electric driving mode, and that 60 percent of Volt owners use a plain-old 100-volt outlet to recharge their cars. The car is slated to make its global debut at Detroit's North American International Auto Show next January, and the early word is that performance and all-electric range will be improved (we should hope so). The car will also be sleeker. By how much, we can't tell yet, because of those darn swirly patterns. GM's got more non-details in its press release below. Engineers charged with hiding styling while vehicle testing proceeds in public DETROIT – The styling of the next-generation Chevrolet Volt is one of the automotive world's best-kept secrets. Keeping customers and media eager to see the successor to the groundbreaking original at bay until the new Volt debuts at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January is tricky business. First, it is engineers, not designers, who are charged with creating camouflage that balances styling secrecy with the need to validate the Volt and its systems in public. "If it were up to me it would be a shoebox driving down the road," said Lionel Perkins, GM camouflage engineer. "The design team wants us to cover more of the vehicle and the engineering team needs to have enough of the vehicle's weight and aero exposed so that the tests in the development process are consistent with the product that will come to market." The engineers responsible for the "cool" designs covering the car might deserve style points but their efforts are intended strictly to hide the metal beneath.
