Up for sale is my very very nice 1968 Chevy II Nova. This was originally a California car, and several years ago was treated to a full frame off resto by the previous owner.  It is all original metal. This is an extremely solid car that starts, run, drives and cruises very nice.  I have some photographs that were taken of the car during the resto process.


It has a mild 350 (though it will chirp the tires hard going into second, and you can spin them at a stoplight to your heart's content). Mild cam, weiand intake, Holley aluminum 770 Street Avenger carb, headers, dual exhaust. Rear end is a Nova 12-bolt posi with 3.70 gears. Trans is a short tail TH 400, which you can either shift manually or slap it in D and let it do the work. Car wears early 70s Chevelle factory wheels that look like Cragars with BF Goodrich Radial TA tires. Car is 4 wheel drum, manual brakes (but stops very very well), and power steering. Windows go up and down, doors open and close fine. 
Everything on this car works. Lights, turn signals, instruments, wipers, etc. No funny noises, good oil pressure.

Paint is good, but not Barrett Jackson quality, but much better than a "10-footer". It is clear coat base coat paint. There are blemishes from driving the car, and some minor cracking in the paint on the roof. It does not seem to be spreading and I couldn't get it to show up in a pic.

This car turns heads and sounds great, you can drive it just about anywhere.

I have not taken it to the drag strip, so I don't know what ET it runs.

I am only selling this car so I can purchase a gasser style( Two lane blacktop/American Graffiti ) '55 Chevy.  If you have one, I might be interested in trades. Otherwise, probably not. I can put cash with my car for the right unit. 

I am not a flipper, or any other kind of car salesman. I love classic cars, I don't enjoy selling them.

Body:
Factory Non-AC car.
All original metal, rust-free.
Epoxy coated underside (not spray painted rusty metal) You could eat off of it!
Newer rechromed bumpers
SS style hood
SS tail panel with chevy emblem
Decklid had a wing, which I removed, plugs are visible in pics - BUT I have another rust-free hole-free decklid that *is* painted to match.
Minor rock chips, blemishes in paint
Trunk has some *minor*surface* rust due to leaky seal. Looks worse in pics than it is. VERY VERY SOLID, not in danger of rusting through, paint it and forget it.

Interior:
Black with chevy bucket seats (dont think they are actual Nova buckets)
Carpet is good
Small rip in drivers side bucket seat bolster, covered with Gorilla Tape. Holding up great hardly noticeable.
B&M shifter, tach in dash
Dash, door panels, headliner, all in great shape.
Instruments all seem to work, speedo may be incorrect
Package tray has aftermarket speakers


Engine:
Electronic ignition - Mallory distributor
New plugs and wires
New Holley Aluminium Street avenger 770 (very nice carb)
Strong running 350, rebuilt, good oil pressure - have specs from previous owner but haven't personally verified.
Mild Camshaft (unknown, but sounds nice, makes decent power)
Headers, collector mufflers, dual exhaust

Trans
Short Tail Turbo 400 with shift kit (auto or manual shift)
mild converter (2000-ish)

Rear end
Factory Nova 12 bolt Posi

Please feel free to ask questions. I will provide my phone number to interested, serious buyers. In addition to the pics below, I have 97 images in a photobucket gallery -lots of detail, underside, fender lips, interior, trunk, etc. Please check it out before asking for more pics.

Reserve price is exceptionally reasonable, and thousands less than I have in it. Clear title in my name in hand.

Car is for sale locally (Champaign IL) and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time due to local sale. Pickup is buyer's responsibility, though I will work with a transport company if you make all arrangements.

ATTENTION: If you have very low (example, 0 or 1) feedback, please contact me before bidding with a phone number. I have dealt with too many people using ditch accounts to try to play "find the reserve" or whatever. This is a real serious car, for a real serious buyer. Failure to contact me first will result in your bid being deleted!

Thanks for looking!

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

2015 Chevy Volt will be available with 4G LTE

Tue, Jan 14 2014

General Motors teased consumers two years ago when it showed off a Chevrolet Volt decked out with 4G LTE connectivity. More details were finally unveiled this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: the 2015 Chevy Volt will have a 4G LTE option and will offer consumers an as-yet-unpriced option with much faster wireless internet connection and more smartphone apps. GM's OnStar has teamed up with AT&T to come up with several mobile apps alongside the roadside assistance. The Volt joins the 2015 Corvette, Impala and Malibuz models that will debut with a 4G LTE option this year. The first four 4G ChevroLTE models will be released this summer and will be joined by the Spark (EV and gas versions), Equinox, Silverado and Silverado HD. GM has yet to announce whether any Cadillac or Buick models will get the 4G option. Chevrolet Accelerates to 4G LTE Speeds in 2014 Bowtie brand models in U.S. and Canada to get OnStar 4G LTE by summer LAS VEGAS – Starting this summer, Chevrolet will have some of the fastest vehicles on the roads, and that has nothing to do with horsepower. Chevrolet drivers will be enjoying high-speed data - made possible by a new OnStar 4G LTE connection in the vehicle, running on AT&T's network, the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network. Chevrolet today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu, and Volt would be the first General Motors' vehicles to come optionally equipped with OnStar 4G LTE. They will be followed by the Equinox, Silverado, Silverado HD, Spark and Spark EV. In the Canadian market, OnStar with 4G LTE will be introduced on the Chevrolet Trax as well. The majority of the 2015 Chevrolet lineup in the U.S and Canada will have a 4G LTE connection built-in at vehicle launch. More models will be announced later this year. "Chevrolet is expected to implement the broadest deployment of 4G LTE in the automotive industry," said Alan Batey, senior vice president of Global Chevrolet. "The fact that OnStar with 4G LTE will be available in models that range from the Chevrolet Spark to the Silverado to the Corvette, is indicative of our broad commitment to deliver more value and convenience through smart technology applications.
