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!

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8
Thu, Oct 8 2015I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production
Sat, Oct 24 2015Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.
