1966 Chevy Nova 2 Door Sedan. We have owned this car for 19 years (yes since 1994) As far as I know it has always been an Arizona car. As far as we know wew bought the car from the 3rd owner. I drove the car as purchased for a lot of years, doing small little upgrades and upkeep along the way, always knowing one day I would have the chance to really build a street car that I wanted since high school. 7 years ago I began that process and it took me over 4 years to get the car to the point I could drive it again. My plan always was to build the car I couldnt build when I was young, I have done that now and it is really a perfect car. We have loaded over 150 pictures on the link below, I have nothing to hide and an very willing to have the car inspected or appraised.

Body is rust free/bondo free and about as perfect as you will find, paint is base coat/clear coat black and it is as black of black we could find. It is probably considered a 9 out of 10, I have not buffed the car or waxed it in about 2 years, since the build it has been covered and in the garage, the only thing dulling the paint being the cover coming on and off from time to time.

Interior is also about a 9 out of 10. Factory seats recovered in after market factory look as well as door panels and headliner. Carpet has also been replaced and is very nice new condition. Half way through the build I decided that I really wanted to relive the days of drag racing. Did not cut up or butcher anything to achieve that but did install a certified cage. Back seats are still fully functionable just requires a little climb. We did make sure the cage can come out with out messing up interior or paint, it can and pretty easy.

Because my plan changed to not only run on the street and cruise but to also do some drag racing I had to build the motor, transmission, rearend and brakes that would do it all. With all that done I have only ran the car 2 times on an actual drag strip. Its fast! first pass (and I had not been behind the wheel on a strip in 20 years I ran 10:42 in the quarter, yes thats only on the motor! The car is set up to run nitrous but it has never been run in the car and the plumbling line from the bottle to the 4 stage sprayer has never been plumbed. The car just doesnt need it although it can take it. Second run was 10:66. After that I just couldnt do it anymore, I had visions of the thousands of dollars I had spent being wasted on a wreck or someone else stupidity. Here is the list and happy to answer any questions about it. "509" GM block, splayed main caps, scat 4340 steel crank, 6inch scat H-beam, All ARP, SRP flat top forged pistons, speed pro plasma moly rings gapped correctly for nitrous, dart iron eagle 215cc runner with gasket match 1206 with bowl blend, stainless valve, bullet roller springs, titanium retainers, jesel shaft rockers 1.6i/1.5ex, comp billet timing set, comp push rods, bullet solid roller cam, crower lifters w/hippo, super victor intake, ARP thoughout. Transmission is a Hughs Powerglide and it is built to handle 700hp plus on a bottle or not. Rear end is a 9inch with all the best of the best just like motor and trans, happy to provide details, 4 wheel disc brakes, line lock and trans brake. yes I went all out and spent a small furtune doing it. 

Take a close look at all the welds, the 4 link, the lines, the quality of parts used and know you are buying a car that no expense was spared, no item over looked, no short cuts, no issues and no problems. I have put about 1000 miles on the car now in 3 years. Although I have 3 sons who love the car, our oldest in now confined to a wheel chair and I have been letting go of a lot of toys to help him live better on his own. This is a super car, have cruise it and enjoyed a couple of awards and a lot of crowd gatherings around it. It is not to loud to enjoy, the mufflers keep it sounding right though.

I am sure that I have left 100 plus things ive left out of the listing, its hard to remember everything after so many years. The car will not disapoint!

What does it still need, I have not put on the small lights that go in the front bumper, (although I did wire for them) no chrome trim on trunk or emblems intalled and I would consider new tires just because these are older now and I really like new tread on my cars. Please look at the detail and notice that i used only the best available parts to build this car. I have owned many cars in my life from 1930-2013, ford, chevy, dodge, hotrods and muscle cars, not to many out there like this anymore, enjoy.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
