This Street Resto-Mod is a custom built 1972 Chevy Nova SS Tribute built by Glory Days Auto Restoration in Vancouver, WA. The restoration was completed 7-1-14 and has about 500 miles on it since rebuild, so all the quirks of a build are dialed in.  It's a full sub-frame off restoration. It took 1 year to complete and over 850 hours. There is over $22K in parts alone not including paint/labor that runs $65 per hour (you do the math). The body was stripped down to bare metal and it had very minimal metal/rust issues which is why we selected this car. The body was treated with Epoxy Sealer before bodywork began. The bodywork was completed and primed then blocked 4 times to get the lines perfect. We then applied 3-4 coats of Sherwin Williams Ultra 7000 basecoat and 3 coats of Sherwin Williams 931 Premium Clearcoat. The car was wet-sanded with 1500/2000 grit and polished to a pristine shine. All new chrome, lights/lenses, original wiring great condition, all lights electrical works perfect. No expense was spared on this build as you can see.

 I can promise you it drives as nice as it looks. The steering is very tight unlike many classics and the car fires right up and sounds great! Trust me I don’t want to sell this car because it’s my favorite driver, but I need the money to fund a 1969 Roadrunner built. I have 4 other cars close to sell including a 1972 Bronco, 1971 Nova, 1972 SS Nova, 1967 Camaro, and more builds coming up. See more by liking my page on Facebook “Glory Days Auto Restoration” or visit my website www.glorydaysnw.com. Feel free to ask any questions. I’ve been building cars and early broncos for the last 20 years. You’re getting a lot of car for the money!! Fun car to drive especially with the 4 speed!!!

Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016

Wed, Jan 27 2016

If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4. Toyota Prius Eco 61 5. Volkswagen E-Golf 61 6. Nissan Leaf S / Leaf SV 61 7. Kia Soul Electric 59 8.
