This auction is for a 1971 Chevrolet Nova SS featuring a built 396(none numbers matching) coupled to a built 700R4 automatic trans and a 12 bolt posi w/ 3.76 gears. This car was completely rebuilt in 1985 and has been lightly driven since (weekend warrior) and has less than 10,000 miles on engine. Trans upgrade was done 1000 miles ago.The engine is a 1968 396 ,bored .030" has cast iron heads and a very lumpy camshaft. The motor was built by Russ Barfield in Hollywood Fl.The complete fuel system has been replaced in the last year , the ignition system was just replaced last week. This is a very strong running big block Nova!
The brake system was gone through last year, as was the suspension. The car has power disc brakes up front. It also has power steering.
This car has been babied since new, the current owner bought it from the son of the original owner while it was being refurbished back in the 80s.It is not clear whether or not this is a true SS although it is believed to be.What is known is that it started life out with a 350 under the hood.We have not found the build sheet which unfortunately is the only way to know for sure.
The undercar is very clean, looks to be original floor pans, don't see any soft spots or rust. The trunk is immaculate. The only issues noted on the body are some rust spots in the lower doors,it does not look like any prior repairs were done in thase spots, and what looks like a "paint booger"near the RR taillight. . The quarters ,doors and fenders are all original sheetmetal.Other than the door issues the car is laser straight. It also has a fiberglass cowl hood on it. The paint job was done back in the 80s, still looks awesome but could use a good claying and polish.
The interior could use a redo as it was done in typical 80s fashion. It is in good condition just not to everyones taste!
I am representing the current owner in this sale , car is being sold due to health issues. It is being sold "as is" with no warranty. I suggest that if you are interested in the car to either come and check it out yourself or send an inspector. The car is as solid as can be, it has always been in good hands and any work done was by pros... this ain't no junk! If you have any questions I can be reached either thru email or call daytime at 954-782-2263 or evenings 954-401-3480 ask for Bob

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says
Sun, Jun 25 2023Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent. In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
