You are bidding on my 1971 Nova.  I would describe it as an old school type nostalgic street cruiser.  This Nova is not a recently dolled up beater.  Originally sold in California and has been in Arizona the rest of the time. Dry desert body with all original panels.  The ppg torch r ed paint is 18 yrs old and the sun has taken its toll on the clear.  It has peeling and fading.  The interior has some sun wear also with one crack on dash pad and the rear seat top is fried. Great headliner. Original carpet has some fading also.  The small block is freshly rebuilt right for tons of trouble free miles. 9:5-1 flat top pistons, torque cam grind with a healthy lope at idle but nice low end. Holley 600 on an Edelbrock performer intake. Hei ignition, headers, and some chrome. Hurst shifter and linkage, 8. 5 inch ten bolt with 3:56 gears and a Richmond posi unit.  South side machine traction bars. New pipes and mufflers off of the headers dump at the rear axle.  Has a great sound but not loud. This Nova has front disc brakes and NO power steering. It rides nice and is very reliable running cool in all conditions.  I enjoy driving this classic.  It does not rattle or squeek.  Has a vintage fiberglass cowl induction hood with stock hood hinges without springs. Has ss trim but was a pampered 6 cylinder in its past. I have the original sales invoice and owners manual. Clear Arizona title in my name. Why mess with rust? This car with a little paint would be a show stopper.  It has that old muscle car stance that many love but few achieve. I hate to part with it.  Please ask if you have any questions.  Be a serious bidder please. Thank you for looking.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
