I've decided to part with my '69 Nova I've been working on. I found this car as a legit barn find in northern California about an hour from my home. I knew as soon as I saw it, it was a perfect candidate for a build. It hasn't been on the road since 1983/84 and was very solid. It's a roller so no engine or trans. The car comes with almost a full set of trim and all of the glass except for the windshield. The window regulators are in excellent shape and fully functional. The glass is not cracked or delaminated. No front seat, but the rear bench is intact. The dash cluster is dirty but complete and has the controls for the heat/vents. The doors are extremely solid and have zero delfection in the hinges whatsoever. Other than shopping cart dents and door dings, the body is in original shape and currently in dark gray sealer after have been stripped with 120 grit. There is zero evidence or any noteworthy collision as the doors, hood, and trunk all retain crisp, original gaps. They all open and close perfectly. The hood gaps and latch are perfect. While there are many simple dents, the car will not require and further panel replacement and most importantly has NEVER had any bodywork or filler applied to it. What you see is exactly what is there. I have completed the following metal work:
New Goodmark full floor pans
New Goodmark rear tail lamp panel (original was cut for custom lamps-yeah)
New Goodmark right, lower quarter panel patch
New Goodmark upper dash panel at cowl
Left quarter patched over wheel arch (had two small bubbles)
-rt front inner fenderwell has typical battery damage. Needs replaced.
INCLUDED- is a CPP front discbrake kit which includes forged dropped spindles, calipers and bracets, dust shields, power booster, and master cylinder. The kit is used with approx 100 miles on it. It is vey clean, boxed and ready to install.
All panels have been etched primed at the seams and seam sealed with Kent 6000 products. The car is now completely rust free other than a small spot on the front edge of the hood and the rt fenderwell (batter acid damage). I had planned on a Goodmark hood to replace it. The trunk floor has some minimal discoloration and some very minor pitting, but does not justify a pan replacement. The roof had some small spots where corrosion had begun, but will not require anything more than metal to metal to make prefect. The car is originally a V8/auto/10 bolt car. The 8.2 10 bolt is still there as well as the multi leafs. A clear CA title is in hand and all fees are paid. The subframe in the car is in perfect shape. It doesn't have any scars from being towed or damaged. I don't think it's ever left the body. The car steers and rolls on 4 good rollers. It's the perfect builder to take from here. The dirty work is done. It's ready for body and paint! This is one of the best 68-72 Novas anywhere for a launch pad to build a pro touring, drag, copo, yenko, or SS L-78 car. I take the collector car hobby very seriously and only deal in what I feel are the best original cars I can get. I also take ebay seriously so please only bid as if you intend to buy. Thank you for looking and happy bidding. Please feel free to call me for any questions you ay have. 96-300-09 nine nine. Dave

NHTSA upgrades probe into 1.7 million GM vehicles over wiper failures
Tue, Dec 17 2019WASHINGTON — The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Tuesday it is upgrading an investigation into 1.7 million General Motors vehicles for windshield wiper failures. The auto safety agency opened the probe in November 2018 to see if GM needed to expand a 2016 recall of 2013 model year Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain SUVs to cover additional vehicles. The engineering analysis probe covers 2010-2012 and 2014-2016 Equinox and Terrain vehicles. NHTSA could demand a recall after it completes the probe. NHTSA said it has reviewed 1,900 complaints and reports related to the issue in the 1.7 million vehicles. NHTSA said it has seen elevated failure rates in the 1.7 million vehicles, even though GM said the recalled vehicles have "double the warranty rate and five times the complaint rate." GM said it will "fully cooperate to support their investigation. We do not believe these windshield washer systems are defective." The wiper failures that prompted the 2016 recall were attributed to water and debris intrusion into the windshield wiper assembly ball joints, leading to excessive wear and eventual detachment of the ball joint. GM said it was installing an improved windshield wiper motor and transmission assembly and relocating a drain hole at the base of the windshield. Related Video:
Porsche wins the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sun, Jun 14 2015The question going into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was whether or not the Porsche 919 Hybrid would be able to combine its qualifying pace with race reliability. After battling neck-and-neck with Audi's R18 for most of the race, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only did Porsche drivers climb the first two spots on the podium, they did so without any major mishaps on track. This win is the first overall trophy for Porsche since 1998. Audi previously won the last five races, and 13 of the last 15. Corvette also returned to the winner's circle, with the No. 64 C7.R taking winning the GTE Pro division. The victory is the first class win for Corvette since 2011. KCMG won the LMP2 class in ninth overall. With 45 minutes to go the No. 98 Aston Martin crashed out of first place in GTE Amateur, giving the class win to SMP Racing's Ferrari and second place to the Patrick Dempsey Racing Porsche 911 RSR. For the full list of official results, click here. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. For most of the race, the battle at the top went back and forth between the two German manufacturers. An tire puncture in the No. 7 Audi gave up the lead to Porsche, and moments later a crash forced the No. 8 into the garage. But a three-minute replacement of the front and rear bodywork kept the Audi in contention. As the race wore into the night, Porsche maintained a slightly faster pace than Audi. Nick Tandy took the lead on Lap 253 early Sunday morning, and car No. 19 never gave up the top position. The win is the first for all three drivers of the No. 19 – Nico Hulkenberg, Earl Bamber, and Nick Tandy. A lap behind in second was the No. 17 Porsche. The Audis fought reliability problems late in the race but still finished third with the No. 7 R18. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. As the Aston Martin cars dropped away, the lone Corvette Racing entry took over, followed by a charging AF Corse team Ferrari 458 Italia. The Corvette and Ferrari continued to trade places in the final hours until gearbox trouble forced the No. 51 Ferrari out of contention. It was eventually passed by the other AF Corse car, No. 71. Nissan experienced all the pain of a first-year effort with its front-wheel-drive GT-R LM Nismo.
GM says its electric pickup truck is 'in development'
Thu, Jun 6 2019GM President Mark Reuss just reiterated the company's support for an electric pickup project. He also claimed that GM is going to be selling its future electric cars at "very average transaction prices" during the same conference with Wall Street analysts. Previously, Mary Barra informed the world of GM's electric pickup truck aspirations, but didn't tell us anything else. Reuss says the truck is already in development, though, according to a Wards Auto report. "We will have a complete electric lineup, including a pickup truck that's in development," Reuss said. This comment marks the second time GM has gone on the record about its intentions to bring an electric pickup to market. Additionally, Reuss said GM's third-generation global EV platform will be used to help develop the electric pickup. This platform was recently announced to underpin at least 20 new EVs from GM in the future — the platform itself is slated to be unveiled in 2021. Of course, this platform will be flexible and modular to allow various body styles to be used with it, a truck being one of those. Reuss still hasn't said what GM brand the pickup will be sold under, or what class of truck it will be. GM thinks this new platform is also going to be what helps it drive down the cost of building EVs. "We'll reach parity a lot sooner than people think," Reuss said comparing EVs to traditional gas-powered engines. "We're driving down the cost of batteries and the whole EV in general." As for electric pickups, Ford is also deep in development of its own electric F-150. However, neither of these truck projects have official timelines on them, so we can't say when they'll hit the market. For now, the cross-town rivals are both in development with their respective electric pickups. Even further across town is Rivian (in which Ford just invested half a billion dollars), a company that says its electric R1T pickup is right around the corner, with the official due date being end of 2020 for the time being.
