1969 Chevrolet Nova Ss on 2040-cars
Kingsport, Tennessee, United States
Please message me with questions at: willettasangiacomo@netzero.net . "True Super Sport" , NOT a clone or tribute car dressed as a SS. Build sheet is included.
Non-original, but 1969 dated coded big block 396, According to cast numbers, it is a 1969 dated 396 for an Impala
or other large car model. The air cleaner and valve cover decals were present when I bought it. It was probably a
265 horse two barrel but now has an aluminum intake and Holley four barrel. Don't have head information. It sounds
like it has a mild cam but again I have no details. I have been doing sort of a "freshening up" versus a
restoration and for now, getting into the engine was a low priority. It runs strong and is very torquey. Not solid
lifter, probably more in the 325hp range than 375. Of course if it was the L78 396 we would be discussing a car
costing in the high 30s. Exhaust: original manifolds, mufflers and dual exhaust, no headers. Yes, there is a three
inch crack in the dash panel. I haven't opened the rear end, but according to axle stampings it came with the Eaton
3:31 positraction 12 bolt. To my knowledge, the car needs a new oil pan because someone before me stripped the
drain plug and it has a very slow drip. And it needs the aforementioned dash pad. TKO 500 5-speed transmission .
Original 12 bolt posi-traction rear end. New bell housing, flywheel, clutch, and driveshaft. New radiator, starter
and Mallory HEI distributor.
Straight body with no rust. Solid floors and trunk. California car New seat foam, covers, bucket seat backs,
headrests, and trim. New door panels, pull handles, and window cranks. New fuel tank, sending unit, lines, and fuel
pump. All new brake components front and rear, including calipers, rotors, pads, drums, shoes, and springs .
Speedometer does work. Reverse lights do not work only because they have not been connected to the switch that is
present on the new transmission. Trans also has electronic speedometer sensor which could be hooked to an
electronic speedo if a new gauge package were to be installed.
Garage kept for the past 9 years, and only driven 1200 miles during that time. A big hit at local car shows.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
