1972 Chevrolet Nova High Quality Build Fuel Injection

Reasonable Rides and Rods presents this 1972 Chevrolet Nova for your consideration.  This Nova is a high quality restored/custom car that needs nothing and can be driven and enjoyed now.

Paint/Body/Trim

Painted in Silver-Blue Metallic, the paint presentation of this Nova is outstanding.  Already a very solid car, it was stripped down to bare metal and painted.  This is a high quality paint job and all of the gaps are done well.  The firewall, floor pans, drop offs and trunk are in excellent condition.  All glass and trim are new and in excellent condition.  All new weatherstrip was installed throughout the car when it was painted.

Interior

The interior is a combination of stock and aftermarket components.  The front seats are new Procar Rally and the rear seat has been covered with the same material.  The custom rear package tray utilizes the same material.  The steering wheel is a Billet Specialties Street Lite attached to the custom tilt column.  A custom console was created and houses the gauges and a B&M Mega Shifter.  The stereo is a Retro 2 knob with MP3 capability.  The carpet, dash, door panels, and headliner are in great shape.  The fuel injection handheld computer is located in the glove box.  The interior of this car is extremely nice and adds a lot to the presentation.

Engine/Transmission/Rear End

The engine is a four bolt main 350 bored .030 over with a steel crank, 10:1 SRP forged pistons, Competition Cam, Edelbrock Aluminum Heads, Edelbrock Air Gap Intake, MSD 6 Ignition, billet accessories, and MSD Atomic EFI.  The engine has less than 200 miles since the build and performs flawlessly.  The fuel injection ensures that this car starts every time and is extremely responsive.  As you can see in the pictures, the entire fuel system is built for the fuel injection.  The fuel tank and pump system is done correctly to support the fuel injection.  It is dressed with all of the Edelbrock engine components for a nice presentation.  The engine is estimated to produce 400 hp.  The exhaust has Hooker long tube headers and is a full length stainless system with Flowmaster mufflers.  A four core aluminum radiator and dual electric fans keeps this little Nova running cool.  The transmission is a built Turbo 350 Automatic with a 2500 stall converter.  The transmission was built at the same time as the engine.  The rear end is a GM 10 bolt with an Auburn posi unit and 3.73 gears, and a Trick Flow cover. 

Suspension/Brakes/Tires/Wheels

The suspension and steering components are all new.  The steering has a manual gear box, but has been upgraded to a quick ratio box.  The stock control arms were retained, but all bushings are poly urethane.  A set of Competition Engineering subframe connectors were added to handle the power.  All new Right Stuff 4 wheel disc brakes were installed with slotted and cross-drilled rotors.  A new chrome booster, master cylinder, and proportion valve complete the brake system.  The car rides on new SLG Series Billet Specialties Wheels and Nitto NT555 235/40-18 front and 245/40-18 rear tires.  The car drives and steers better than new. 

Overall

This Nova has been built right.  Everything works on the car and it is fast, reliable, and enjoyable to drive.  With the fuel injection set up, you could use it as a daily driver, or a weekend cruiser/show car.  This is a totally solid car and a very high quality build with over $40k spent on paint, engine, trans, suspension, interior, wheels/tires, ect.  You will not be disappointed.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.

What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt

Wed, Aug 13 2014

With the next-gen Chevy Volt due to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show early next year, bits and pieces about the new car are making their way into the press. Perhaps most importantly, the new Volt is going to have better "fuel economy and efficiency," according to GM executive vice president Mark Reuss. The current Volt gets 98 MPGe and 37 miles per gallon on premium fuel. It also has a 38-mile electric-only range. We don't know how GM will improve the efficiency or to what degree, but the logical options include making the car lighter, giving it better aerodynamics and/or improving the powertrain. To that end, one of the big things we don't know for sure includes information on the new gas-powered engine. Forbes says it will be a downsized 1.0-liter, three-cylinder mill instead of the 1.4-liter, four-cylinder used in the current model, which could certainly help the car be more efficient. The new Volt is also going to have more technology, which shouldn't surprise anyone. GM is now openly talking about how it will change the way it markets the Volt, shifting away from the mass-market mentality to focus on the regions where the car is already popular. "There's a Northeast and West Coast market for Volt, and there's nothing wrong with that," Chevy chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney told Forbes. There are rumors that the new Volt will have seating for five by adding a seat in the back. This is something a lot of current Volt owners would love, but we've heard nothing official hinting that this would be the case. We expect the battery to be the new 17.1-kWh version, or maybe even have a capacity increase, so GM would have to seriously repackage the pack to eliminate the ridge that runs from between the front seats and then back to the rear two seats. If you've heard anything official, do let us know.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
