Little Falls, Minnesota, United States

I am selling my 1971 Nova SS.  This is one of the cleanest Nova’s you will find.  The car was originally sold at Purvis-Taylor Chevrolet in Crystal Springs Mississippi on February 2nd, 1971.  I have the original owner’s manual and a binder with the receipts documenting the Frame-off Restoration that was completed in 2006.  There is over $40,000 invested in the Frame-off Restoration and the car has been driven less than 1,500 miles since the restoration. The car was factory ordered with air conditioning and was also factory ordered with the rare radio delete option.  This car is in beautiful condition and has won multiple 1st place and Best of Show Awards.


Drivetrain:

The engine is not numbers matching.  It is a modern crate 350 with a 4 bolt main that has been stroked to a 383 with many upgrades.  It has high volume oil pump, steel crank, Jessell aluminum rods, Jessell high performance pistons, Pro-line aluminum heads, Pro-line aluminum intake, Barry Grant Demon Carburetor, MSD 6AL Ignition, new alternator, fully functional AC and Power Steering, 150 HP shot of Nitrous (Only been used for show purposes, has never been filled or ran through car) and a lot of chrome and polished parts.  The car has not been put on a Dyno but is estimated to be approximately 450 HP.

The transmission is a Richmond 5-speed backed by a Ram Heavy Duty clutch and Lakewood shatterproof bell housing.  Shifting the gears is done by a HURST shifter.

The exhaust begins with full length 3 inch Jet Coated headers that flow into Pypes Violator mufflers.  The exhaust exits in the factory location and is 3 inch from front to back.  This setup gives the car an amazing sound that you must hear in person.

The rear end is a Currie 9 inch with 3.73 gears, Posi, and heavy duty Currie 33 spline axles.  It has adjustable CAL-TRAC traction bars that have been installed along with sub-frame ties.

The brakes have been completely upgraded to 4 wheel BAER power disc brakes that are drilled and vented.

The wheels on this car are American Racing Torque Thrust II that are wrapped in Fuzion ZRI tires.  The fronts are 225/55/16 and the rears are 255/50/17.

 

Interior:

The interior is mostly original with the exception of front seat covers and carpet.  The headliner, dash pad, door panels and rear seat are all original and in excellent condition.  The front seats have been recovered and new carpet has been installed.  There are also new Chevrolet floor mats in the front and back.  All of the interior is in excellent condition there is no rips, cracks, or stains.  Everything works great including all the lights, gauges and switches.

 

Body:

This car retains all of its original sheet metal.  There is absolutely no rust anywhere on this car.  This car is laser straight and all factory seams line up excellent.  The doors, hood and trunk shut with ease just like new.  The original numbers are still stamped in the quarters.  The trunk is finished with factory speckle paint.  All of the chrome, glass and moldings are in excellent condition and have a brilliant shine to them.  The car is finished with a PPG base coat/clear coat Marina Blue paint that looks amazing.  The paint is laser straight and has amazing depth.


If you are looking for a car that you can take to shows, have fun driving, and be proud to own this is the car for you.  This car runs, drives, handles, and looks great.  It can be driven anywhere, and was part of the Power Tour in 2010.  The car is always stored in a climate controlled garage and is always covered with a custom fitted car cover (included with the car).  The car is only driven on nice days and has not seen rain or bad weather since the restoration.  The car is Frame-off Restored and no corners have been cut, everything was done right.  Everything on this car is in beautiful condition, including the underside which is as nice as the top.  The underside has been completely painted black and is in excellent condition.  I have done my best describing the car as accurately and detailed as possible, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.  Also, if you would like any additional pictures of the car contact me and I can take them and send them to you.


Payment: A $1,000 non refundable payment is due within 48 hours of auction close.  The remaining balance is due within 7 days of auction close. Remaining balance must be paid by cash in person, or verified cashiers check or bank draft.

Frustrated GM investors ask what more Mary Barra can do

Mon, Oct 22 2018

DETROIT — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra has transformed the No. 1 U.S. automaker in her almost five years in charge, but that is still not enough to satisfy investors. Ahead of third-quarter results due on Oct. 31, GM shares are trading about 6 percent below the $33 per share price at which they launched in 2010 in a post-bankruptcy initial public offering. The Detroit carmaker's stock is down 22 percent since Barra took over in January 2014. After hitting an all-time high of $46.48 on Oct. 24, 2017, the shares have declined 33 percent. In the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 index has climbed 7.8 percent. Several shareholders contacted by Reuters said GM could face a third major action by activist shareholders in less than four years if the share price does not improve. "I've been expecting it," said John Levin, chairman of Levin Capital Strategies. "It just seems a tempting morsel to somebody." Levin's firm owns more than seven million GM shares. Barra has guided the company through the settlement of a federal criminal probe of a mishandled safety recall, sold off money-losing European operations, and returned $25 billion to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks from 2012 through 2017. GM declined to comment for this story, but the company's executives privately express frustration with the market's reluctance to see it as anything more than a manufacturer tied mainly to auto market sales cycles. GM's profitable North American truck and SUV business and its money-making China operations are valued at just $14 billion, excluding the value of GM's stake in its $14.6 billion Cruise automated vehicle business and its cash reserves from its $44 billion market capitalization. The recent slump in the Chinese market, GM's largest, and plateauing U.S. demand are ratcheting up the pressure. GM is one of the few global automakers without a founding family or a government to serve as a bulwark against corporate raiders. In 2015, a group led by investor Harry Wilson pressed GM to launch a $5 billion share buyback, and commit to what is now an $18 billion ceiling on the level of cash the company would hold. In 2017, GM fended off a call by hedge fund manager David Einhorn to split its common stock shares into two classes. Einhorn, whose firm still owned more than 21 million shares at the end of June, declined to comment about GM's stock price. Other investors said there were no clear alternatives to Barra's approach.

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06

Tue, Nov 25 2014

The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
