There are things that I will assume of you if you are going to bid on this classic.....
1) You have more than passing interest and knowledge of this individual car and have educated yourself in its stats, information, value, and wide availability of parts
2) You realize that this in not an "everyday driver", it is a project. And even though it does run and drive it will need to be inspected and maintenance performed before it is safe for road use.
3) You have at least basic mechanical knowledge and are aware of the time, money, and energy it takes to restore a vehicle like this.
4) I expect you to contact me if you have any questions that were not answered by the ad by either email or phone (912-660-4694)
5) Last but not least I expect you to read the entire ad, look at all the photos, and watch the videos I have posted so that you have the best possible understanding of this car's condition.

Thanks, and happy bidding!

NO RESERVE! I have this 1971 Chevy Nova Super Sport, it belonged to a lady's late husband here in Savannah Georgia and was stolen from her driveway and taken to a recycling yard. The yard put it to the side since it seemed kind of odd that someone would want to crush it, the police showed up later to recover it for her. The recycling yard ultimately purchased the car from the lady who at that point had no idea what she would do with it anyway, and then I purchased the car from the recycling yard. So when I say it is a survivor car, I mean it just barely survived. 
As a result of the interesting way I bought the car I was never able to get the keys or title, the lady had already moved from the address the recycling yard had on file. Georgia law allows you to buy, register, tag, and drive a vehicle with no title if it is a 1985 or earlier model year. Check with your state on applicable laws.

Yes it is a true SS, the body color, top color, engine code, rear end (12 bolt), trim tag, catalyst sticker, VIN number, and door sticker all match. The transmission is not the original transmission, at some point a TH200 was swapped in where it should have a TH350. The trans is not "coded" and TH350's are easy to come by so it should be easy to swap in the correct part for 100% value. I have done only the most minimal work to it so that it starts, runs, and drives, I have left everything else the way I found it aside from vacuuming it out and putting some tires on it, leaving the choice of direction with the car up to the next owner. The car is very much original besides some small details like an electronic distributor. It has not been cut or hacked, or modified, or hot-rodded. It will need restoring to bring it back to its former glory, but mechanically speaking it is running and driving well enough to be loaded on a trailer or car carrier. Some time needs to be spent on making the brakes work better, and the wiring for the headlights and front turn signals needs to be sorted. I have taken the time to take as many pictures as possible (ebay has a terrible policy that only allows for 24 photos, see the rest of the photos at the link below) and have made a couple videos that can give you the best idea of its condition.

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race

Thu, Sep 8 2016

The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas

Wed, Oct 3 2018

The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.

Sunday Drive: Spying an automotive future of performance

Sun, May 13 2018

I spy, with my little eye ... the future of the automotive world here in the United States. That pretty much sums up this week's Sunday Drive, in which we pull out the most popular stories on Autoblog of the previous week and try to draw some sort of conclusion as to what binds them all together. This week, it's spy shots, starting with one of the biggest and baddest muscle cars the world has ever seen: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellish coupe gets a new hood for 2019 with dual scoops, but that's about the only meaningful change for the new model year. No matter. As long as it's packing 700-plus horsepower under those two hood scoops, all will be right with the world. Moving on, we take keep the performance angle but move it from the street to the dirt with a new version of the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that we think is probably called the Bison. We think it'll keep the high-tech suspension bits of the regular ZR2, but add expedition gear that may include a snorkel and a winch. Which, if true, is pretty dang cool. Keeping the truck theme is the 2019 GMC Sierra. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the trim level in which the truck was spied, and that's what makes this specific example interesting. Base-model trucks almost never get much attention, but they sell in droves to workers who need an honest-to-goodness truck for work or play and don't care about bells, whistles, or massive chrome badges. And finally we have the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, which is on fire on the sales floor right now. But those are all V6-powered Wranglers flying off the showroom floor. Soon, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine option will become available, and now we know that it will return up to 23 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. That makes it the most fuel efficient Wrangler that Jeep has ever sold. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the automotive news that's fit to publish. 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat with twin-scoop hood spied with no camouflage Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison caught testing 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level 2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder fuel economy revealed Spy Photos Chevrolet Dodge GMC Jeep Truck Coupe SUV Off-Road Vehicles Performance dodge challenger srt hellcat sunday drive
