You are bidding on a 72 Chevy Nova with 78,000 original miles. A little back history on this car. My father owned a auto body shop years ago and ordered his chevy parts from Strohl Chevrolet in Fogelsville PA. The guy that would run parts out to the body shop bought brand new off the lot this 72 Nova. It was always garage kept. He then sold it to a relative who removed the original 307 and power glide transmission. That guy tore the front end off and installed a 350 with a turbo 350. He never completed this project and in turn sold it to the guy whom I bought it from. The guy I got it from bought all kinds of parts to finish it and never got the chance. It had been sitting in his yard for the past 12 years up on jack stands with covers over it.
I recently purchased this car and put the front end back on and made it drivable. The transmission was rebuild and had zero miles on it. I drove the car less than one mile since it has been running. It had B&M trick shift fluid in it that looked like the day it was put in. The transmission is shifted on the column. It tends to bind going through the gears. The linkage might need a little tweeking. The motor is a 350. I was told it is a 4 bolt main block out of a 71 Nova SS. Has steel heads with an edlebrock intake and a 700 Holley carb. Does have a cam in it. Sounds very healthy.
The car is solid. The only issues with rust are around the passenger wheel well in that back. This can be seen in the pictures. There is a little rust on the driver side wheel well behind the mud flap. A tree branch fell on the top of the drive side 1/4 and let a nice dent. This can also be seen in the picture, as well as the dent on the door. I was told the second owner was backing up into his garage prior to removing the original motor and trans and caught something with the door. There was body work done to the driver side fender which now has primer on it. The trunk floor is solid. It is so original that there is still a factory window clip under the original mat.
The interior is in very great shape. There is a rip on the passenger side seat bottom. Someone did cut up the dash where the radio goes. They also put speakers in the kick panels. Other than those few things very original as far as interior goes.
I am selling this until the end of the month. If the car does not sell I am keeping it and giving it the proper restoration it deserves. I do have a clean and clear PA title that verifies and states that mileage of 79,001. The car will need to be picked up from my residence. Also included is a 12 bolt rear that I was told came from the same 71 SS Nova that the motor came from. Along with the 12 bolt the car had a disk brake upgrade from the 71 SS as well. It will need an alignment. There is also a set of tires and wheels that come with it. The 2 corvette style rally's come with it, but they do not clear the front brakes.
If there are any questions please ask and I will do my best to have them answered before the auction ends. Please understand I do NOT live on the computer and might not be able to respond in a few days.

So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?
Thu, Jan 21 2016You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger
Mon, Apr 13 2015The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race
Thu, Sep 8 2016The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.
