I bought this car about 2 years ago and have been in the process of restoring it. This car is in excellent condition and you won't find too many '73 Nova's in this good a shape. The body is in perfect condition without a single scratch or dent.
This is car is 100% rust free. It was built in the old GM plant in Van Nuys and has never left California. It is NOT an East Coast car. Nova enthusiasts know that the hatchbacks in 73 and 74 were very prone to rust in the trunk/hb lid. I had the entire hatchback and trunk lid nearly re-built. It was stripped and all the rust damage was repaired. It was resealed and then repainted. There is no rust anywhere else in the car.
It does not have the original small block engine. about 7-8 years ago it had an Edelbrock 350 c.i/483 hp V8 dropped in it. This engine still runs very very good. The car starts up every time and never misses a beat. I'll be honest though - this engine delivers SS power but it will not melt the rubber off the tires. It's fast but I wouldn't compete at the Pomona straight away just yet. I increased HP by adding an MSD ignition boost/distributor which made a big difference. If I were to complete the restoration the only thing left to do is to drop in a new engine. This one runs so well that it was last on the list.
- Edelbrock 350 c.i/483 hp V8
- 3 speed automatic transmission
- Centerline rims and Hankkook and Firestone tires.
- no A/C or heat. Heater core is there but needs to be replaced
The price is a combination of what I paid and what I put into it. Here's what I've done:
- Interior completely redone: new seats (not redone seats. NEW seats), new carpets, new mats, new dash parts including the hard to find dash bezel and speedo. Also found a replica vintage radio that has an iPod connector. Perfect condition.
- Front, center and rear bumper fillers replaced.
- Front disc brakes installed replacing factor drum brakes. The kit was bought at Classic Industries and installed at Bagge and Sons in Culver City. Here's the kit:

- MSD Ignition/distributor kid and spark plug cables - replaced all the old cables with high performance MSD products.
- all four shocks, springs and control arm bushings replaced. The car rides smooth after I replaced all of that.
- Hatchback/trunk lid taken off, stripped, rebuilt and re-installed
- Frequent tune-ups and timing adjustments
Nearly all repair paperwork available.
The car is located in Culver City and kept under a car cover. Since I've owned it it's been driven about 50 miles a week tops.
Price lowered: leaving country, must sell. $13,500.00

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news
Sat, Aug 8 2015Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.
