1971 Nova SS Documented genuine. I can provide documents when necessary. This car was purchased new here in this city in 1970 by a local drag racer as a driver. I have photos of the car when it was near new with the original owner. The car passed thru 3 or four owners including myself. It never saw the light of day for over 20 years as it was stored away. It has been painted twice in its life. The car still has all its original body panels with no panel replacements or patches. The trunk is like new and the underside was covered in tar dirt and undercoating until I cleaned most of it with solvent and painted it last year. No holes there either and no rust. The car was originally powered by a 270 Horse 350 and Turbo 350. I might still have the original CJD block but it was rusty. Last year I removed the front clip, subframe and rear suspension and replaced/ rebuilt everything. All Moog, Raybestos parts including a new F41 ps box. The original 12 bolt was overhauled and the 3.08 gears were replaced with 3.73. And it still has the original Eaton limited slip in it. New gas tank, straps and sending unit. New fuel lines, The F41 rear sway bar was rebushed and painted. I fabricated bolt on frame connectors and installed them. It has old school traction bars on it and it hooks good on the street. The wheels are the new style Cragar aluminum SS type with 215-70-15 tires and 255-70-15 tires on the rear. BFG.

The engine is a new GM Crate 454HO, dynoed at 458 HP, I installed the big block using all correct GM parts for a 1970 396 Nova. Including the rare L78 5 blade fan and the L78 Deep groove pulleys. New PS Pump and hoses, DG ps pulley. GM ps mounts etc. Correct shroud, rad support. It has a Lakewood bellhousing, new flywheel and 11 inch clutch. The trans is out of my stock of M22s. Not correct main case as it was split but the gears are correct. 26 spline input and 32 spline out. Correct GM BB 4 speed crossmember. BB Nova clutch bellcrank etc. Engine mounts are polyurethane. New delco booster and corvette master cylinder, new porp valve and lines. The driveshaft is a custom 3 inch DOM tube with GM 3R joints and yokes. Inline tube emerg brake cable set. Hooker super comp 2 1/8 coated headers and Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust with the transverse muffler. The shifter is a Hurst Super Shifter 3 with reverse lockout. The ignition is MSD Pro billet distributor with melonized drive gear for the roller cam. MSD 6AL ignition. It is the limited edition box I special ordered with the serial number 1971. Aluminum water pump. Moroso 7 qt oil pan with sump extension. Guages are Auto Meter mounted on an aluminum plate that I fabricated to just slide under the front of the dash pad. They are liquid filled water temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure and volts. The fuel pressure is isolated type. Braided lines with AN fittings for the fuel system. Holley mechanical fuel pump with holley fuel pressure regulator. Carb is a new Holley 850 double pumper tuned for the engine, power valves etc.

The interior is original for the most part, the carpet and the rear package tray is new. The mylar strips on the door panels are peeling, that is normal.Drivers seat has a small spot about 3/16 in diameter that the vinyl stripped off, probably me with a tool in my rear pocket.

Original options on the GM docs for this car are. SS, 350 L48 engine, Hydramatic 350, 12 bolt rear axle, 3.08 limited slip, softray glass, deluxe interior, deluxe exterior trims, vinyl roof, special wheel etc, special sport steering wheel four spoke, F41 suspension, console with floor shift, bucket seats, Burnt Orange paint / Black interior. Power disc brakes.

This car did not have power steering. I added it.

This is not a trailer queen. I have put around 300 miles on it. Just tooling around town. It has been in a couple of parades. The engine temp does not go over 190 degrees crawling in a parade in 100 degree weather. I had it to the nationals this year and it performed flawlessly up the highway and cruised at the nationals for hours. I do not baby it. The car hauls butt and hooks good. It is also the poster car for a local weekend car event called Modified Addiction. I do not want to sell it but I have too many cars. I have a 68 SS that I want to finish as well. If you want a fun car to drive around town and want to feel the old school adrenalin in your veins when you come on to it. This is the car. It is built strong to be reliable and fun. I tried to break it already. No go. There is no radio or stereo in this car. You could not hear it anyways. whats the point.

Recently I viewed over 12 Nova SS cars 68-74 at a major national car show. Out of all of them only 3 were genuine. Although the owner will stand there and tell you that their car is real. Needless to say, I left some very disappointed people at this show. I know Nova and can spot a fake. All of you looking at Nova SS anywhere, beware of fakes and clones. If it is a Canadian car , the documents are available at GM Canada Vintage Vehicle Services. Phone them and you can have the package faxed to you within hours. I have my documents already. US cars no such luck unless you are fortunate to find the build sheet for the car as it is not that difficult to make the changes necessary to produce a fake. My price is not cheap. My car is real and undeniable proof is in my possession. Earlier today I watch Barrett Jackson, a red 1970 Nova SS Clone sold for $33,000. Not that nice either. My reserve is less.

The mileage stated is the original mileage. Not rolled over again. The woodgrain steering wheel is off of my 68. I will be reinstalling the original sport steering wheel back on this car.

Any questions or want to talk on the phone send me a message.

Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars

Tue, Mar 10 2015

Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well Â– Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. Â– Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.

GM tells owners not to use SUV wipers due to fire risk

Sun, Oct 11 2015

General Motors is recalling 31,685 examples of the 2016 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia because a short circuit in the windshield wiper motor can potentially lead to a fire. Due to the danger, the company is asking owners not to use the wipers until the problem is fixed, according to The Detroit Free Press citing the Associated Press. A manufacturing defect in the wiper motor cover means that the electrical terminals can come into contact and cause a short. The part could "melt, smoke, or catch fire," according to a statement from GM. The company will get them fixed immediately, and dealers will replace the cover. If there's bad weather at the time the owner specifies to get the recall work completed, the automaker will come pick up the crossovers. Depending on parts availability, the automaker will supply a rental car for customers, as well. The issue was discovered at the factory. According to the company's statement, only 6,405 actually made it to customers, and they were notified immediately by overnight letter. The rest were in dealer stock. The affected crossovers carry build dates between August 18, 2015 and September 24, 2015. Of those, there are 29,295 in the US and 1,073 in Canada. GM Statement: General Motors has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will recall approximately 29,295 2016 model year Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia SUVs in the U.S. because the front windshield wiper motor may overheat when in use because of a manufacturing defect. In some cases, the front windshield wiper motor cover may melt, smoke or catch fire. The approximately 6,405 customers who have taken delivery of these vehicles were notified by overnight letter and are urged to contact a GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service appointment. These customers should not use the front windshield wipers until they have been repaired. If weather conditions prevent driving the vehicle without using the windshield wipers, GM will arrange to pick up the vehicle for servicing. If repair parts are unavailable, GM will provide a rental car at no cost until parts become available. The total population, including Canada, Mexico and exports, is approximately 31,685. About 25,280 of these vehicles are in dealer stock and will not be sold until repairs are made.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
