My Dad has decided to sell his 63 SS Nova Convertible. He has owned the car since 1984 and I think it has been in Nevada since new in 1963.  We restored it about 14 years ago and rebuilt the front end, rear suspension, new TH350 with shift kit, new paint, new interior, new top etc. The suspension was converted to 5 lug and wagon springs used on all four corners with a factory sway bar. 

However, we reused the 327 that was in it but it only lasted for about 6 months. The car sat for the next 13 years, sometimes covered, sometimes not, sometimes garaged, sometimes not, but has been in a garage for the last six years. 

We just installed a new 350 to replace the 327. We also just installed a new radiator, new gas tank, new hoses, battery and cables, rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, and more to go with the new engine. The trans has about 4,000 miles on it and the engine has about 100 miles on it. Exhaust is 2.5 inches with Flowmasters. The folding top assembly had been restored right before we got it and all top metal pieces repainted and detailed. The car was repainted a deep Maroon with Dark Grey seats and carpet and a Maroon top. Even the spatter paint in the trunk was Maroon flecked. Dad fabbed a firewall support bracket that's in the trunk and just needs to be bolted back on. Wheels are 15 inch Centerlines.

The car is in great shape and runs good.

Unfortunately, the paint did not hold up as well as the rest of the car. It is cracking in some areas and chipped on all four corners of the hood. There is no material rust in the car but there is some bubbling in the paint on the lower driver's side quarter. The trunk has some scale but is solid. No rust in the subframe, rockers or anywhere else.

This is a great, solid car that we've had for 30 years, but its time to pass it along to a new caretaker. Here are a couple pics and a link to many more.

$500 deposit required within 48 hours of winning bid.  Car can be delivered within 400 miles for gas and trailer rental costs.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014



Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
