Up for sale is my very very nice 1968 Chevy II Nova. This was originally a California car, and several years ago was treated to a full frame off resto by the previous owner.  It is all original metal. This is an extremely solid car that starts, run, drives and cruises very nice.  I have some photographs that were taken of the car during the resto process.


It has a mild 350 (though it will chirp the tires hard going into second, and you can spin them at a stoplight to your heart's content). Mild cam, weiand intake, Holley aluminum 770 Street Avenger carb, headers, dual exhaust. Rear end is a Nova 12-bolt posi with 3.70 gears. Trans is a short tail TH 400, which you can either shift manually or slap it in D and let it do the work. Car wears early 70s Chevelle factory wheels that look like Cragars with BF Goodrich Radial TA tires. Car is 4 wheel drum, manual brakes (but stops very very well), and power steering. Windows go up and down, doors open and close fine. 
Everything on this car works. Lights, turn signals, instruments, wipers, etc. No funny noises, good oil pressure.

Paint is good, but not Barrett Jackson quality, but much better than a "10-footer". It is clear coat base coat paint. There are blemishes from driving the car, and some minor cracking in the paint on the roof. It does not seem to be spreading and I couldn't get it to show up in a pic.

This car turns heads and sounds great, you can drive it just about anywhere.

I have not taken it to the drag strip, so I don't know what ET it runs.

I am only selling this car so I can purchase a gasser style( Two lane blacktop/American Graffiti ) '55 Chevy.  If you have one, I might be interested in trades. Otherwise, probably not. I can put cash with my car for the right unit. 

I am not a flipper, or any other kind of car salesman. I love classic cars, I don't enjoy selling them.

Body:
Factory Non-AC car.
All original metal, rust-free.
Epoxy coated underside (not spray painted rusty metal) You could eat off of it!
Newer rechromed bumpers
SS style hood
SS tail panel with chevy emblem
Decklid had a wing, which I removed, plugs are visible in pics - BUT I have another rust-free hole-free decklid that *is* painted to match.
Minor rock chips, blemishes in paint
Trunk has some *minor*surface* rust due to leaky seal. Looks worse in pics than it is. VERY VERY SOLID, not in danger of rusting through, paint it and forget it.

Interior:
Black with chevy bucket seats (dont think they are actual Nova buckets)
Carpet is good
Small rip in drivers side bucket seat bolster, covered with Gorilla Tape. Holding up great hardly noticeable.
B&M shifter, tach in dash
Dash, door panels, headliner, all in great shape.
Instruments all seem to work, speedo may be incorrect
Package tray has aftermarket speakers


Engine:
Electronic ignition - Mallory distributor
New plugs and wires
New Holley Aluminium Street avenger 770 (very nice carb)
Strong running 350, rebuilt, good oil pressure - have specs from previous owner but haven't personally verified.
Mild Camshaft (unknown, but sounds nice, makes decent power)
Headers, collector mufflers, dual exhaust

Trans
Short Tail Turbo 400 with shift kit (auto or manual shift)
mild converter (2000-ish)

Rear end
Factory Nova 12 bolt Posi

Please feel free to ask questions. I will provide my phone number to interested, serious buyers. In addition to the pics below, I have 97 images in a photobucket gallery -lots of detail, underside, fender lips, interior, trunk, etc. Please check it out before asking for more pics.

Reserve price is exceptionally reasonable, and thousands less than I have in it. Clear title in my name in hand.

Car is for sale locally (Champaign IL) and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time due to local sale. Pickup is buyer's responsibility, though I will work with a transport company if you make all arrangements.

ATTENTION: If you have very low (example, 0 or 1) feedback, please contact me before bidding with a phone number. I have dealt with too many people using ditch accounts to try to play "find the reserve" or whatever. This is a real serious car, for a real serious buyer. Failure to contact me first will result in your bid being deleted!

Thanks for looking!

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models

Fri, Mar 28 2014

General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.

Crash victim found still inside car 6 hours after it was towed away [w/video]

Wed, Jan 7 2015

Police near Dayton, OH, have quite a confusing case on their hands after the victim of a crash early on New Year's Day couldn't initially be found. Six hours later, the man was discovered lying on the vehicle's floorboard at the tow yard. The unidentified person was admitted to a local hospital in critical condition with possible leg injuries. The police first responded to the scene of the crash around 3:00 am on New Year's Day when a Chevrolet Impala hit a utility pole and drove through a fence, according to WHIO News. The authorities claim that they searched for the man for an hour and a half and came up with nothing. The car was then hauled away to the yard, which was only about 500 feet away. The tow yard worker found the man around 9:00 am and called 911. However, he was clearly dubious about the injured man's predicament and suggested to the operator that he might have returned to the Impala. Police are still investigating the incident. According to WHIO, authorities might have somehow missed the man in the sedan during the search. Alternatively, he could have left the scene of the accident and later returned. Watch the video below for more about this bizarre case. The video meant to be presented here is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
