1967 Nova Ss Pro Touring on 2040-cars
Eastvale, California, United States
Well it is time to sell my 1967 Nova SS (True 118 Car). I have owned this car for 30 years now, first car I ever bought. It has seen a few changes in its life. Stock, street racer and now Pro-Touring. Every nut, bolt, glass, chrome, stainless, etc is ALL NEW!!
These days the pro-touring scene can feel a bit like the pro-street scene a bunch of show cars built solely for aesthetics. Sure, they all look good with wide wheels and giant brakes, but how many could successfully conquer an autocross course? The number is probably smaller than you think. Its why we never get tired of builds like 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS. Sporting a 500hp Carbureted LS1 Carbureted, a Built 700R4-speed, an industrial strength drivetrain.
So where do you begin with a Nova like this? Probably on the outside where rust-free California sheet metal served as the foundation. Charlies Auto body in Riverside took care of the paint and body and certainly did a great job transforming this Nova into a show stopper. The first thing that jumps out is the color 2008 Dodge Viper Blue. There were no less than three blues available on the 67 Nova but this one doesnt compare to any of them its more vibrant and lustrous than factory colors could dream of being in the era. Another huge factor is the body work below that top coat. Behind the laser straight quarters, the car has also been DSE mini-tubbed to accept a 10-inch wide wheel.
Pro-touring is about usable power not just big numbers on a show board. With that in mind, its hard to think of a better platform than GMs LS1. I built this engine to move, on paper it shows about 500hp to the flywheel. I never had the car Chassis Dynod, but I wanted too. Hand ported LS6 (243s) which flow great. These heads are also milled to bring the compression to 11.1 so I can run pump gas (91octane). MSD ignition runs all the engine electronics. The FI was removed and I opted for carburation to make it look old school. It has an Edelbrock Vic Jr. intake manifold and a 780CFM Pro-Systems Carburetor.
Take a look underneath this Nova and youll find even more high-tech hardware and meticulous workmanship. The stock sheet metal front end is supported by a full Church Boys Racing (CBR) Chevy II front which houses tubular upper and lower control arms, double adjustable Viking coilovers, a splined sway bar, and manual Rack n Pinion. The updates continue out back where a factory 1966 Chevy II 12 Bolt posi(very rare) with a Eaton posi and 3.73s. Ridetech four-link system works with a set of Viking coilovers to keep the rear planted. The 4-wheel Wilwood brake system consists of 14-inch front and 13-inch rear, fed by braided hoses throughout.
The custom interior is very soft custom black vinyl and suede accents, custom door panels and headliner in suede also. I made the custom console and added the Pioneer 7 Navigation system. This has new Nu-Relics 4 power window kits and billet switches. The factory bucket seats have TMI sport seat foam added for a more comfortable ride and sport feeling. The custom stereo uses the Pioneer 7 Head unit with NAV, 1200W Belva 12 sub woofers, 2 6x9 Pioneer rear speakers and 2 5.5 Pioneers for the front.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs
Fri, Dec 6 2019General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021.Β
Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
