You are looking at another one of many collection that I am selling because of personal reasons. This is a 1970 Nova SS and it is a REAL SS, however the engine is not original and this car came equipped with a 350 engine, not the one installed. This car I got from a life long friend who had it over 30 years and he did most of the work to it. He of course had to sell it because of personal reasons and I bought it off of him about 10 years ago. So he just told me that the engine is a 1964 396 bored 30 over to a 402,heads oval ported and the heads are from a 1969 427 engine, it has forged pistons, 10 1/2 to 1 compression, a steel crank, the stock horse power started at 375,original ss rear with 373 gears and a 12 bolt posi, 400 turbo transmission with b&m parts installed, a 2500 stall convertor, when he installed the engine he ordered factory GM brackets for the big block, it has headers however I never put the tail pipes on and they are in the trunk, it has electronic ignition, a a torker intake, the front tires are 215/70/15 and should be replaced. The rear tires are 275/60/15, the rear wheel wells were raised to allow for the bigger 15" wheels and tires while keeping the same body lines. The miles on the car is 41611 and the actual miles on the title of this car is 41443 (and I'm told that these are the actual miles). Last year I had the front and rear seats redone and also had the carpet replaced. The door panels are ok, but they should be replaced because he added door speakers plus the driver side door panel has extra screws in it. The car has factory air conditioning in it and it is not currently working, however it did work last year. All of the components are there and they are hooked up, I did not spend any time to check to see why it is not working. It has front disc brakes however I just drove it and I noticed that one of the calipers are sticking and releasing irregularly, so you may figure to change either one or both of the calipers or the rubber brake lines, or they may free up, but from sitting this is a common occurrence. The brakes and rotors look good. The car has aftermarket cruise control, power antenna (should be removed), cheap side mirrors and missing the side mirror on the right (should be replaced with factory), and the gages all work. The roof is vinyl and it was replaced 30 years ago and it was not a good job, it has some bubbles underneath that was from the glue, and where the seam is above the windows in the drip edge, he used a urethane sealer, so from a distance the top looks good but from close up it does not. The molding around the rear side windows should be replaced. There is a small paint chip on the hood, the left front fender has plastic on the bottom near to the front door, the driver side door edge has paint chips, the door rubber should be replaced but it is ok, the trunk has a hole in it but it is an easy fix, the rest of the trunk is decent, the trunk rubber seal should be replaced and if you lift the trunk rubber up, there is some surface rust, again not a problem yet. The paint job overall looks pretty good. There is a new fuel tank installed, and it has traction bars, air shocks (which leak air). Now that I have tried to list everything that I am aware of, I have probably scared everyone away. I try to be honest and list everything so that there are no surprises. This car is not a show car, however it does look very good at a short distance, it sounds great, runs good and is pretty fast. The original owner really had set up the rear suspension to be able to smoke the tires and keep straight. There is less than 1000 miles on the engine, transmission, and rear end rebuild. I had this car for almost 10 years and did not put 100 miles on it, just had no time, which is another reason I am selling all of my cars. The title is a clean Pa title. I am selling the car AS-IS just as I always sell everything on Ebay. The car is located in Shamokin, Pa 17872. This car would be a great car to restore for a show car, or it will be a great car to drive as a daily driver, either way it does get alot of attention when you are driving by. If I took the time to fix the few problems this car has, I would have had even a harder time parting with it and most likely would have gotten attached to it again and wouldn't have sold it. So I pulled out of my garage, washed it and posted it here to be sold. The buyer is responsible for any shipping costs and any transfer fees. There is a $200 deposit that must be paid with 24 hours at the end of the auction. If you have any questions please email me. Thank you and happy bidding!

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award
Tue, Nov 17 2015It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint
Sun, Feb 6 2022Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:
Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
