Western Springs, Illinois, United States
|
1970 Nova SS original 396/375hp car converted to a Gasser in 1970 after being driven 1,000 miles. Have Protect-0-Plate, Dealer Invoice, Broadcast Sheet, Orig. Insurance card, Magazines it was featured in, Orig. Dealer Key FOB and trunk sticker, Original 1971, 1972, and 1973 Illinois Lic. Plates (1972 "427 060" plate on car now), and other documentation. In 1972 Popular HotRodding magazine featured the car and named it the "Street Pro". The engine was on the cover of their Engine Annual in 1973 (it had an iron 427 at that time). I purchased the car from the orig. owner who owned it for all but two of the 40 years before I purchased it in 2010. The car sat in heated storage for 35 years with no engine, trans, or differential and had 2,300 miles. Changes from then to now: Hood scoop and ladder bars gone (still have the bars). The car has a new professionally built 427 Zl-1 (stroked to 497 c.i.), new AutoGear M22 Rockcrusher 4 Speed, new Strange Engineering Dana 60 diff. (like it had in 1970 except a 3.73 gear instead of a 5.13 gear - yikes!), and all the basics needed after 40 years of sitting which were a NOS fuel tank (sumped as back in the day), Stainless brake and fuel lines, new fuel pump, new Wilwood front disk brakes, new master cylinder. Original paint, original interior (Dash has 3 built-in gauges. I have a NOS dash cluster if want stock), NO body mods except hole in hood (I have an original used SS louvered hood, too). Underside was painted black when brand new. Not a spec of rust, no flaws on paint except what is original from 1970, one small ding on body. Near flawless every where. The engine runs on pump gas and was Dyno Tuned to the max! Idles at 900 rpm, runs like a mild engine until throttled. Chassis Dyno sheet shows 625hp at the back tires (which equates to 750hp at the crank). High-end parts every where: Callies "2000 hp" stroker crank, Oliver Billet Steel rods, JE 11 to1 Gas Ported pistons, full CNC Dart heads, GM ZL-1 block, Milodon oil pan, Custom designed roller cam, enlarged Jesel roller lifters, Jesel shaft-mount roller rocker arms (not the cheap $1,000 base ones either), aluminum flywheel and dual disk clutch (can push down with your fingers), Rockcrusher has all upgrade options, original 1970 Hurst shifter, Chromemoly yoke, 4" alum. driveshaft, Detroit TruTrac upgraded posi, 35 spline axles, 4" Electronic Dumps, 3" Stainless Steel handmade exhaust by The Roadster Shop. The Roadster Shop did the fuel system, brake system and Dyno work. The car highway drives with one finger on the steering wheel. It is quiet inside the car, no rattles or annoying noises - just like new because it is. Whan the dumps are opened with the touch of a switch the horsepower shakes the whole car and it's like a different vehicle - lots of fun! You are welcome to inspect the car. It is on a lift so you can see everything clearly. Thanks for your interest. Questions for interested bidders, call Joel 847 363-1874. |

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year
Tue, Nov 17 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."
