Hello all, this is my 1966 Chevrolet Nova 400 or/and Chevy II. This is an original 283 V8, two speed powerglide car. The VIN indicates: 1: GM, 16: V8 Chevy II Nova, 69: 4 door 6 Passenger, 6: 1966, W: Willow Run, 

MI.  Pretty rare for a 4 door.  Although now it now has a 280hp 330 Ft. Lb. 305 in it with a "K" case TH350 3 speed trans, Lokar shifter and 8.2 10 bolt. PLEASE: Serious BIDS only.  Call Jeff with any questions or 

before bidding so we can talk business, 951-764-5573. The engine is worth $5000 alone.  This is a drivers car; something you can drive everyday, not worry about door dings, scratches and such.  If I were to keep this 

car, which is possible, I'd suicide the rear doors, lower it, put bigger wheels and tires on it, TCI front clip, etc.  This is very fun car to drive, it even gets 18-22 MPG when you're not on it: thanks for looking.


As for the engine, we picked a Performer Edelbrock cam and intake combination. Part numbers: 2102 cam and lifter, and 2104 intake. We chose some flat top pistons with 10.2:1 compression. I spent about 12-14 hrs

 on the heads, bowl blending and getting them to look like CNC machined heads. These heads have 1.86 intake and 1.5 exhaust valves and fabricated valve covers. Felpro gaskets, king bearings, stock crank and pink 

rods. An aluminum radiator, spal electric fan and a Flex-a-Lite 17,000 GVCW trans cooler keep this thing cool. There is a 600cfm Holley vacuum secondary carb on top with an Innovate wideband for ease of tuning. I would recommend a wideband air fuel meter to anyone tuning or driving a carbureted vehicle. It tells 

you any air fuel mixture and when it is OFF, which seems to happen often if you don't drive your car often. A Mallory Unilite Distributor with Accel plug wires and Splitfire plugs.  A Jacobs performance coil sparks all 

that fuel coming from that Holley 600 CFM carb. Expelling through a custom 2.5" Flowmaster exhaust, 40 series 2 chamber design for optimum "noise disturbance"!  It's loud ;)


Brand new gas tank and sender, rebuilt 10 bolt rear end with new carrier bearings, axle bearings, pinion bearings, 3.08 gears. All new single master cylinder, drum brakes and lines, rebuilt steering components with 

bushings and caps, rear sump pan, power steering linkage but no ram or box, stock suspension but will need new bushings. Custom Flowmaster exhaust, coated ram horn manifolds, 2 chamber Flowmasters so it's 

loud and obnoxious. New 1330 u-joints so they are bigger and stronger than the 1310 stuff. Rebuilt TH350 with 2-3 stage shift kit; will chirp tires on the fwy!!!! Not very safe if you'd ask some, but fun!!!!

There is so much to list about this car, I could tell you about every inch but it's late, don't feel like typing anymore. So just call me, text me, email me, Skype, whatever. Jeff, 951-764-5573. It will chirp the tires from 

second to third; ON THE FWY!!!! Fun, Fun, Fun. Most body work has been done with it being painted in a flat black primer; needs minor work near the gas cap area and will need to be taken down again if you

 wait too long. Clear title and current Tags!!!!

This is a rust free California car and fast. I definitely would not sell this car unless my situation called for it, so my 66 has to go. Unfortunately my son and I picked a car that is very light and it was too fast for my 

teenaged son to drive; responsibly. It was totally his fault too. At 14 he can build some serious engines, or he got lucky for his first time. We built a 305 that dyno'd at 215hp and 255ft lbs. at the rear wheels!!!! With a 

30% drivetrain loss that is 280hp and 330 ft. lbs. at the crank ;) There is no way I'm gonna let my teenaged son drive this car. I remember my first car and no way, he'll kill himself. That being said, this is a very fun 

car to drive as an adult. It blows the one tire off in 1st gear, then gets the car sideways on the shifts and pulls hard to redline. I have not had a chance to take it to the drag strip though, my guess is 13's, 12's with good 

traction. Current Tags!!!!


This car still needs some work and a few parts, just check the pics.  The interior needs finished, some body work, and paint. Here is another list of parts that you will still need.

  1. Headlight Bezels
  2. Lower Valance Trim
  3. Dome Light Base, have Dome
  4. Spare Tire J-Bolt and Wing Nut
  5. Interior Upholstery is all there
  6. Dash Pad Renewed
  7. Door Panels Renewed
  8. Door handles and window cranks re-chromed
  9. Clean Carpet
  10. E-brake handle
  11. Rear E-brake cable(the longer one)

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
