On Nov-28-13 at 14:28:13 PST, seller added the following information:

Was asked a few questions so here is a honest answer as this vehicle has not been subject to modifications other than the radio and nothing was cut or disturbed as it came with dual rear speakers and the chain of ownership is well documented THIS IS A TRUE GARAGE FIND The engine that bears the VIN of the vehicle is a January build so my strong belief is that it is 1971 specifications producing 270 H.P. rather than the 200 H.P. produced in 1972 drive it and believe it as I believe this was RPO vehicle for the showroom as it is highly optioned you can choose to believe this or not bot I have been restoring classic Chevrolets for over 45 years Another question was where is the smog pump and because this was an RPO vehicle ordered for sale in Tennessee Idle jet adjustment were plugged, compression lowered, timing retarded and this met a low registered vehicle state. Because of the nature of my business I was smog certified so have personal knowledge of all state requirements I presently have two offers from local buyers so this auction may close early if cash is in hand A TRUE GARAGE FIND AND HONEST CAR


On Nov-28-13 at 20:20:54 PST, seller added the following information:

I have been asked several questions from NOVA EXPERTS ? and question the validity of this vehicle, the statements that I have made are true to the best of knowledge, I build first generations Camaro's so they are not so complicated as they are what they are This is a TRUE GARAGE FIND and is one of the most unmolested original vehicles that I have ever owned and is well documented, even the original bill of sale This vehicle honestly drives as new and even the A/C blows cold so you be the judge,so if you want a real rare Nova that you can drive and enjoy, show at your local gathering then bid like you want to own it otherwise join the ranks of doubters If you would like to call please do so 562-8847621 ( I'm hearing impaired)so please speak clearly Thanks Denny from Denny's Bowtie Restorations

EcoCar2 is on the hunt for a better, cleaner Chevy Malibu [w/video]

Thu, Jun 12 2014

The students spent three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. Not far from the building where General Motors once invented the Chevy Volt, a dozen or so college students are standing on the blacktop alongside a test track, watching a professional driver push the limits of a plug-in hybrid car they've built that's far more radical. These students, from Colorado State University, have spent the past three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. At first glance, it still looks like a regular sedan. But under the hood, they've installed a hybrid powertrain that contains both hydrogen and electric power sources. Even by the standards of the Department of Energy competition they're participating in, it's an outlier. That's exactly what they had in mind. "We didn't want to come here and tell them how to build a better Volt," said Tom Bradley, faculty adviser for the Colorado State team. "They already know how to do that. We can tell them how to think about these possibilities in a whole new way." After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The Colorado State team was one of 15 that came to GM's Milford Proving Grounds last week for the final stretch of the EcoCar2 competition, which challenges regular college students who have no automotive experience to do nothing less than reinvent the American car. The teams have come from across North America, and include schools like Ohio State and Virginia Tech that have a long history of participating in similar competitions, and schools like the University of Washington and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University that are here for the first time. After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The teams have operated 24 hours a day for almost two weeks here at the Proving Grounds, running a gamut of tests that include a 310-point safety inspection, emissions and energy-consumption tests and road tests, in which professional GM drivers ensure they're road worthy. The winning team will be announced tonight in Washington D.C. Revolutionary cars, ordinary package While other green-car competitions encourage extreme designs, this one comes with a somewhat constraining twist: Yes, students must improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, but in the end, they still have to have a car that would appeal to mainstream customers. In practical terms, that means they must keep conveniences like air conditioning and trunk space.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint

Sun, Feb 6 2022

Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:
