A very nice start on this 1970 Nova with SS badging ..i'm guessing its not an original SS but there's no way to tell from my research.
This nova is going to be REAL NICE once you paint it YOUR color of choice and do the body work.. I have too many cars and projects and no time or money to finish any of them.. There's a lot here to tell/read about this car in no certain order-- PLEASE read and re-read it all before bidding or calling. Thanks. I have more pics if you want them, just message me..or request any certain part of the car. There'"s a lot to tell any SERIOUS buyer about this car so I've put most of it in the description. If you can, please come look at and drive the car. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE MECHANICS OF THE CAR-- ITS 43 YRS OLD... Call me please to discuss any other details and get pictures of any part of the car. THIS IS NOT... Not a numbers matching numbers car. First the bad if you want to call it that. I had some body work done on the car a couple of years ago. They basically took off all the chrome, the side moldings and so forth as you see in the pictures and filled the molding clip holes and fixed the driver door where someone had ran into it on purpose for whatever reason sitting in front of my house. They sanded, primed the hood and painted under the hood gloss black. All that's basically needed from this point on is body work and paint. id assume it needs taken down to the metal to see what's really going on with the car. Some basic cleaning and basic interior work.. I have new INTERIOR door panels and new carpet ..it will need a few more things no doubt. I HAVE A LOT OF THE STUFF TO FINISH THE CAR. It has some body filler in it in places as can be seen on closeup inspection. Around the quarters and places, some lower portions of the car as well. Rear half skin LOWER quarter panels were put on it many years ago over top the others it appears- you can see them in the trunk --don't have pictures of things yet. The car has some rust at the bottom edge of the passenger side of the rear corner of the window at the molding area.. This has always been a problem area with these old cars. you might have to remove the glass and sand blast the whole area around the channel or similar and repair, seal, then paint.. I had to do this with my 68 Chevy ll. I have no wheels for the car at this time - it is riding on my el Camino wheeels. I'm looking for wheels and tires to transport but you can bring your own if you come to drive it home --it will drive anywhere , doesnt overheat or any problems. of course i'm sure nobody would want to drive it across the country. The car has a complete and basically new FLOWMASTER exhaust system.. As you can see in the one picture it has the 3970010 block, 4 bolt main. Also, The rear Driver door window post needs welded where it comes out of the door. I always forget that for some reason even when I'm showing it in person. Call or email to discuss anything, BUT after 3 pm most days. 614 863 4279 PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AND I WILL GET BACK WITH YOU. most of the description is in no certain order. It has less than 20 miles on the rebuild and engine. It has a turbo 400 with shift kit in it. It seems to have a small leak which i haven't had time to see whats going on maybe the shift lever seal or its too full or the pan gasket?? The guy at the shop says it has a manual valve body, but it shifts into all gears by itself. The steering column has been rebuilt out of two columns, but it has no indicator for some reason but there is one in the box in the trunk? (will have to ask him about this next time I go over) I have a low reserve on it but it will stay for now because of just the fact I purchased the car complete and running before i had it lowered, a new engine built and >>>> and just spent over 9000 most of it labor..sigh.. on the front end rebuild/refurbishment, NOT including the price of the engine and the engine work, over $3000... then also including installing the fresh engine, the wiring, and all you see in the pictures and more- Newer Edelbrock carb auto choke,(#1406 I believe), New ceramic coated type coated headers, New power steering pump & hoses, New rotors, small parts and pieces, etc. I believe this to be close to the original street driven miles.. of course you can never know because it has not been documented. The title is clear but it has not been put into my name, first because i have never really driven it but to the shop or second had an out of state inspection yet. The car has mostly just sat in and around the home property. I can send you a picture of the title if you wish. I called the title office. They said as long as the lien holder(s) have signed off on the title it is free and clear and it can be handed to the next buyer without me putting it in my name first. The first and second lien holders, which was the loan company he(previous buyer/owner) purchased it through have signed and it has been notarized. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Although i didn't add the option for a BUY IT NOW or Make Offer, I think you can submit one to me via eBay messages or call? Everything from the firewall has been refurbished back to nearly original GM or rebuilt or replaced with new, at a cost of $9000!! yep, nine grand.. but that included two years of labor by the shop. The engine is an original late 69-early GM engine block, rebuilt with ALL NEW internal parts. original late 69 or early 70 GM block, original GM crank,(turned and so on), GM rods, GM heads(rebuilt) but the engine is NOT original to the car. It has a hydraulic Comp cam # 12-207-2/Grind # CS 255DEH-10, with a dual pattern; 421 intake, 451 exhaust. Duration @ .050 > 203 int, 212 ex. Basically the car needs no mechanical work, only body and paint work, and a little interior work and possibly some minor adjustments and tightening or such. A steel cowl hood. I think he used Sealed power pistons and rings? Not sure about what kind of bearings. But I know it was a major brand. Part of the upper firewall has been repaired because of some rust problems. It has front disc brakes and rear drum. One local guy said to put it the way he wanted it to almost new, he would put on new full rear quarter panels and possibly a driver door skin or door ..and depending on your needs and wants . The driver door had been purposely hit when sitting in front of my house!! I have no known enemies, so that was confusing to me.? There had been rear half skins put on the quarter panels and not the greatest job in my opinion-why do ppl do this?? I do not know any history about the car other than i'm sure it was used as a drag car for a time, and possibly stored inside because of the way it was when i received it back when purchased. It was blue when i purchased it with the green interior dyed black. It was originally Forest green with the custom green cloth interior(according to cowl tag)--the only green left in the car was the cloth rear bottom seat which I still have and also have a black rear bottom that goes with the car. I bought it off eBay out of Illinois in October 2006 complete and driveable but it had been turned into a drag car at one time and turned back into a street car with air shocks, traction bars and with another drive train- a newer maybe 87-93 350 with the center bolt valve covers and a twelve bolt from out of a Chevelle I was told at the time. It has a VILLAGE of SKOKIE vehicle license sticker in the windshield from 2004-05. It has frame connectors. It has been lowered by a shop about 3 years ago with new Hotchkis springs and rear lowering kit(blocks). A twelve bolt open rear end with 3:73 gears the shop told me.(they had it all apart and checked and so on) It had a new gas tank upon purchase. It had all newer steering parts and ball joints and so on upon purchase. I had it in the body shop a couple of years ago as you can see by the pictures and then it went straight to the shop across the street for the front end rebuild for about two years. Just got it back several weeks ago and its been sitting since. I have new interior door panels, carpet and a bumper jack for the car as well as other parts and pieces. The trunk is ok but has a few tiny rust through holes in it --you can use as is or replace trunk floor. This is the second listing... Thanks for looking ... call anytime and I'll get back to you. Gary 614-863-4279 Cell 614-312-650 The 72 Nova was the 1st year you can tell a true SS by the VIN # >> care of .. Novas dot net MOST IMPORTANTLY: you MAY NOT pay using just any type of non-certified non-Bank money order. I may not even accept money orders but the option fills itself in and includes this option it seems.? Bank Certified Money Orders only, verified through and by that bank only before delivery of vehicle. AGAIN, THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE TO READ THIS FAR, AND FOR FOR LOOKING G. |

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]
Fri, Jul 3 2015Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
