 1970 Nova SS original 396/375hp car converted to a Gasser in 1970 after being driven 1,000 miles.

Have Protect-0-Plate, Dealer Invoice, Broadcast Sheet, Orig. Insurance card, Magazines it was featured in, Orig. Dealer Key FOB and trunk sticker, Original 1971, 1972, and 1973 Illinois Lic. Plates (1972 "427 060" plate on car now), and other documentation. In 1972 Popular HotRodding magazine featured the car and named it the "Street Pro". The engine was on the cover of their Engine Annual in 1973 (it had an iron 427 at that time).

I purchased the car from the orig. owner who owned it for all but two of the 40 years before I purchased it in 2010. The car sat in heated storage for 35 years with no engine, trans, or differential and had 2,300 miles.

Changes from then to now: Hood scoop and ladder bars gone (still have the bars). The car has a new professionally built 427 Zl-1 (stroked to 497 c.i.), new AutoGear M22 Rockcrusher 4 Speed, new Strange Engineering Dana 60 diff. (like it had in 1970 except a 3.73 gear instead of a 5.13 gear - yikes!), and all the basics needed after 40 years of sitting which were a NOS fuel tank (sumped as back in the day), Stainless brake and fuel lines, new fuel pump, new Wilwood front disk brakes, new master cylinder.

Original paint, original interior (Dash has 3 built-in gauges. I have a NOS dash cluster if want stock), NO body mods except hole in hood (I have an original used SS louvered hood, too). Underside was painted black when brand new. Not a spec of rust, no flaws on paint except what is original from 1970, one small ding on body. Near flawless every where.

The engine runs on pump gas and was Dyno Tuned to the max! Idles at 900 rpm, runs like a mild engine until throttled. Chassis Dyno sheet shows 625hp at the back tires (which equates to 750hp at the crank). High-end parts every where: Callies "2000 hp" stroker crank, Oliver Billet Steel rods, JE 11 to1 Gas Ported pistons, full CNC Dart heads, GM ZL-1 block, Milodon oil pan, Custom designed roller cam, enlarged Jesel roller lifters, Jesel shaft-mount roller rocker arms (not the cheap $1,000 base ones either), aluminum flywheel and dual disk clutch (can push down with your fingers), Rockcrusher has all upgrade options, original 1970 Hurst shifter, Chromemoly yoke, 4" alum. driveshaft, Detroit TruTrac upgraded posi, 35 spline axles, 4" Electronic Dumps, 3" Stainless Steel handmade exhaust by The Roadster Shop. The Roadster Shop did the fuel system, brake system and Dyno work.

The car highway drives with one finger on the steering wheel. It is quiet inside the car, no rattles or annoying noises - just like new because it is. Whan the dumps are opened with the touch of a switch the horsepower shakes the whole car and it's like a different vehicle - lots of fun!

You are welcome to inspect the car. It is on a lift so you can see everything clearly.

Thanks for your interest. Questions for interested bidders, call Joel 847 363-1874.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.

Sunday Drive: Trucks and SUVs of all shapes and sizes

Sun, Nov 5 2017

The American automotive marketplace is dominated by trucks and SUVs, and so was the last week of coverage on Autoblog. By far, the most popular story of the week was our First Drive of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It may look like an old-school lumberer, but in reality Lincoln's flagship is a thoroughly modern, turbocharged-V6-powered, three-row, luxury people mover. The Jeep Wrangler is the world's most recognizable vehicle. So it's no surprise that the next version looks a whole heck of a lot like the last one, and the one before. It's all in the details, which is why we were so excited when Jeep decided to unleash a trio of images showing both two- and four-door Wranglers for us to dissect ahead of the SUV's official debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this year. Past that, spy photos of the next Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 were predictably popular. See both of those below, and the cap it all off, check out the entire week's worth of SEMA coverage – including the bonkers Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 – in our mega image gallery at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive | From black sheep to flagship 2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
