NO RESERVE!!! 1966 Chevy Nova 4 Door with a body on restoration. Yes it is a restored starting life as an original 283 V8 4 door. The car originally started its life as a 283 Automatic with the upper trim package for a Chevy 2. I purchased the car mostly restored needing some minor assembly and detail work. The car has a very nice repaint to its original Willow Green. The 350 is a 71 dated motor with a rebuild mated up to a 86 4 speed removed from an 86 Camaro. This Nova runs and drives great. It makes a great beach surf cruiser. Has 15x7 rally wheels with original center caps and new rings. The tires are NEW BF Goodrich 225 front and 245 rear 60 15's. This Nova has new suspension bushings, Shocks, Performance exhaust, Interior (original uncracked dash pad), Paint, Rebuilt Motor (Modern Distributor ignition system) and trans, New brakes and brake lines, New tinted windshield and gasket, LED Headlights with daytime led lights, All new locks keyed alike including the glove box door, Tach and Guage package, Corvett Steering Wheel with Leather wrap. Car has approximately 500 miles on her since she was finished. Everything works with the exception of AM Radio, Horn works but not hooked up with the Corvette steering wheel, Speedometer, cable is included but not installed, Windshield wiper blades are included but not installed (I prefer the no wiper arm look). Wiper switch works in both positions. The windshield washer hoses are not hooked up in the engine compartment. Detailed trunk. Body: This Nova has all its original sheet metal except the front LH fender appears to have been replaced at some point. All doors and trunk open and shut smoothly. The windows all roll up and down smoothly. It is solid in the back and trunk. Lower quarters and rockers are original and in great condition with no rust. It has a very solid engine compartment all the way back to the cowl. No rust around the cowl or windows. The inside where the front door hinges are is is a typical rust area but there is no rust at all. The inside of the doors and door openings to the body were not re painted and are original paint. No rust showing at all. showing some rust. The underside of the trunk lid is original paint solid as well. No rust in the seams at all. The body is not saging and all doors line up nicely. The doors are solid with no rust in the seams at all. The grille is nice and the trim is in good overall shape. Bumpers have nice chrome with a few dings and 1 dent in rear LH side of Bumper. This was the next thing I was going to do. Either have these rechromed or buy a new pair. All trim comes on or with the car. The lower rocker and side trim is off the car. I painted the bottom black and used a tape stripe in place of putting the original pieces back on. I like this look better. The trim pieces are in nice original condition with normal wear and come with the car. Interior and Compartment: The interior is Completely redone. The seats recovered in with cloth inserts. There is a new headliner. The carpet is new and done in black. Looks great. New Door panels and arm rests. The front door handles were reversed, so opening the door is down instead of up. All dash lights and guages work except the speedometer is not hooked up. Cable included. The dome light comes on and turns on with the headlight switch. Even the cigarette lighter works. Heater and fan switches work great. Heater works excellent. The kick panel vents operate properly. The only area that could uses a little better attention is the windlace that goes around the interior door frames. I was going to replace it with new windlace. it is very inexpensive and would make for e a nicer detail. The e Brake works. I have a new handle to install. I also ordered a new set of Visors and visor brackets as the originals did not come with the car. They will be installed before the car is sold. The steering wheel is off a 69 Corvette and has been covered with a leather wrap. The seat belts are aftermarket. The fronts are shoulder harneses but I have not hooked up the shoulder belt yet. I will leave that to the new owner to decide it they want to or not. Trunk: The trunk is in great condition with no rust. It has the original jack assembly. There is a spare but not sure if the wheel is original or not. Underside: The subframe, front inner fenders, rear wheel wells and trunk area are solid with no rust at all. As well as the subframe rails. It looks like the rear may have an undercoating spryed on at some point. New suspension bushings and shocks. Engine: Runs strong with no noises. No leaks. YES NO leaks. Rare for a Chevy 350. It sounds like it may have a very mild cam. The intake is an Edlebrock and the carb is an Edlebrock as well with an electric choke. The choke is not working and maybe not hooked up. I haven't messed with it as the car starts easy and idles smooth when cold and warm. The radiator is a date coded Harrison out of a 66 327 Nova. It is a 4 core. The top has a dent on it from when I had it shipped to me. It works fine and can be easily fixed by a radiator shop if desired. Has a great sounding performance exhaust new from exhaust manifolds to rear exit. There are provisions at the front of the pipes to uncork the exhaust is desired. Also new Battery and Cables. Trans: This is a 4 speed out of an 86 Camaro. Shifts great and the clutch is solid. The hump was added as this was originally a column shif automatic. The pedals are out of an original manual trans 66 Nova. The shifter is a 442 handle. The handle is close to the seat and hits when in 4th gear but works fine. This shifter is probably woth a lot of money. I was going to sell it and add a shift handle thet sat mor forward. Your choice. I will be more than happy to show the Nova or take some more pictures of specific areas if needed. Watch My listings as there will be 73-74 Chevy Truck Parts and more 70-71 Cuda Parts coming soon.

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas
Wed, Oct 3 2018The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
GM seatbelt recall affects over 1m Silverados and Sierras
Fri, Apr 15 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall 895,232 examples of the 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the US. The campaign will also affect the trucks in markets worldwide, and the total number the company will recall is 1,037,982. The Problem: A steel cable connects the seatbelt to the vehicle, but over time repeated bending can cause the part to fatigue and separate. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will enlarge the side shield opening and install a pusher bracket on the tensioner. Technicians will also replace the entire tensioner assembly if necessary. If You Own One: GM will contact owners about the recall. The company hasn't said when those notifications would begin. More Information: There are still about 3,000 new examples of these older pickups at dealerships. Until mechanics fix the problem, these vehicles are subject to a stop-sale. Similar problems have affected the General's vehicles in the past. In 2015, the company recalled over 400,000 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu for fatiguing cables. It also hit over a million Lambda platform crossovers in 2014. GM Recalling Certain 2014-15 Pickups to Repair Seat Belts DETROIT – GM is voluntarily recalling 895,232 model year 2014-15 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the United States because the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of the driver repeatedly bending the cable when entering the seat. This issue was discovered through warranty data, and there have been no reports of crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue. For trucks in the field, dealers will enlarge the side shield opening, install a pusher bracket on the tensioner, and if necessary, replace the tensioner assembly. The recall in the United States includes a stop-sale of approximately 3,000 new 2014 and 2015 model year pickups still on dealer lots. Dealers will repair the vehicles prior to delivering them to customers. Customers will be notified by General Motors. They also can look up their vehicle identification number (VIN) at either https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ website or at https://my.gm.com/web/portal/ownercenter to see if their vehicle is part of the recall. GM also will voluntarily recall and repair these models in other countries where they are sold, including Canada, Mexico, and several countries in Latin America and the Middle East.
