1971 Nova SS Documented genuine. I can provide documents when necessary. This car was purchased new here in this city in 1970 by a local drag racer as a driver. I have photos of the car when it was near new with the original owner. The car passed thru 3 or four owners including myself. It never saw the light of day for over 20 years as it was stored away. It has been painted twice in its life. The car still has all its original body panels with no panel replacements or patches. The trunk is like new and the underside was covered in tar dirt and undercoating until I cleaned most of it with solvent and painted it last year. No holes there either and no rust. The car was originally powered by a 270 Horse 350 and Turbo 350. I might still have the original CJD block but it was rusty. Last year I removed the front clip, subframe and rear suspension and replaced/ rebuilt everything. All Moog, Raybestos parts including a new F41 ps box. The original 12 bolt was overhauled and the 3.08 gears were replaced with 3.73. And it still has the original Eaton limited slip in it. New gas tank, straps and sending unit. New fuel lines, The F41 rear sway bar was rebushed and painted. I fabricated bolt on frame connectors and installed them. It has old school traction bars on it and it hooks good on the street. The wheels are the new style Cragar aluminum SS type with 215-70-15 tires and 255-70-15 tires on the rear. BFG.

The engine is a new GM Crate 454HO, dynoed at 458 HP, I installed the big block using all correct GM parts for a 1970 396 Nova. Including the rare L78 5 blade fan and the L78 Deep groove pulleys. New PS Pump and hoses, DG ps pulley. GM ps mounts etc. Correct shroud, rad support. It has a Lakewood bellhousing, new flywheel and 11 inch clutch. The trans is out of my stock of M22s. Not correct main case as it was split but the gears are correct. 26 spline input and 32 spline out. Correct GM BB 4 speed crossmember. BB Nova clutch bellcrank etc. Engine mounts are polyurethane. New delco booster and corvette master cylinder, new porp valve and lines. The driveshaft is a custom 3 inch DOM tube with GM 3R joints and yokes. Inline tube emerg brake cable set. Hooker super comp 2 1/8 coated headers and Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust with the transverse muffler. The shifter is a Hurst Super Shifter 3 with reverse lockout. The ignition is MSD Pro billet distributor with melonized drive gear for the roller cam. MSD 6AL ignition. It is the limited edition box I special ordered with the serial number 1971. Aluminum water pump. Moroso 7 qt oil pan with sump extension. Guages are Auto Meter mounted on an aluminum plate that I fabricated to just slide under the front of the dash pad. They are liquid filled water temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure and volts. The fuel pressure is isolated type. Braided lines with AN fittings for the fuel system. Holley mechanical fuel pump with holley fuel pressure regulator. Carb is a new Holley 850 double pumper tuned for the engine, power valves etc.

The interior is original for the most part, the carpet and the rear package tray is new. The mylar strips on the door panels are peeling, that is normal.Drivers seat has a small spot about 3/16 in diameter that the vinyl stripped off, probably me with a tool in my rear pocket.

Original options on the GM docs for this car are. SS, 350 L48 engine, Hydramatic 350, 12 bolt rear axle, 3.08 limited slip, softray glass, deluxe interior, deluxe exterior trims, vinyl roof, special wheel etc, special sport steering wheel four spoke, F41 suspension, console with floor shift, bucket seats, Burnt Orange paint / Black interior. Power disc brakes.

This car did not have power steering. I added it.

This is not a trailer queen. I have put around 300 miles on it. Just tooling around town. It has been in a couple of parades. The engine temp does not go over 190 degrees crawling in a parade in 100 degree weather. I had it to the nationals this year and it performed flawlessly up the highway and cruised at the nationals for hours. I do not baby it. The car hauls butt and hooks good. It is also the poster car for a local weekend car event called Modified Addiction. I do not want to sell it but I have too many cars. I have a 68 SS that I want to finish as well. If you want a fun car to drive around town and want to feel the old school adrenalin in your veins when you come on to it. This is the car. It is built strong to be reliable and fun. I tried to break it already. No go. There is no radio or stereo in this car. You could not hear it anyways. whats the point.

Recently I viewed over 12 Nova SS cars 68-74 at a major national car show. Out of all of them only 3 were genuine. Although the owner will stand there and tell you that their car is real. Needless to say, I left some very disappointed people at this show. I know Nova and can spot a fake. All of you looking at Nova SS anywhere, beware of fakes and clones. If it is a Canadian car , the documents are available at GM Canada Vintage Vehicle Services. Phone them and you can have the package faxed to you within hours. I have my documents already. US cars no such luck unless you are fortunate to find the build sheet for the car as it is not that difficult to make the changes necessary to produce a fake. My price is not cheap. My car is real and undeniable proof is in my possession. Earlier today I watch Barrett Jackson, a red 1970 Nova SS Clone sold for $33,000. Not that nice either. My reserve is less.

The mileage stated is the original mileage. Not rolled over again. The woodgrain steering wheel is off of my 68. I will be reinstalling the original sport steering wheel back on this car.

Any questions or want to talk on the phone send me a message.

Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war

Mon, Jun 4 2018

Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Can DARPA hack into a Chevy Impala through OnStar?

Mon, Feb 9 2015

An ex-video game wizard named Dan Kaufman tracked a circuitous route to becoming the head of the Software Innovation Division at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. DARPA normally makes these pages because of its work with autonomous vehicles and automobile technology that overlaps with military applications, but for the past five years Kaufman and his multiple research teams have been working on creating unhackable software code that could be used in military drones. Part of that work has involved hacking into just about everything else, and as a segment on 60 Minutes reveals, that includes cars. The masterminds discovered a way to hack into OnStar, the General Motors telematics system. After figuring out how to hook into OnStar's emergency communication system, they overwhelmed it with data. While the computer was busy trying to manage the overrun of data, the research team inserted code that took control of the sedan's other computers, giving it control. So while reporter Leslie Stahl tooled around in a parking lot, a DARPA researcher with a laptop would occasionally take control of the car, like by applying its brakes or, conversely, removing the ability for Stahl to use the brakes. Hacking into vehicles has been in the news for years: Car and Driver ran a feature on the various ways cars could be hacked in 2011, two hackers released a car-hacking code at the hacker-fest Defcon in 2013 and demonstrated how it worked on a Toyota Prius and Ford Escape, and German researchers demonstrated how they could hack into BMW's Connected Drive remote-services system last week via an attack on the cars' telematics units. This isn't about GM or Onstar or the future; hacking into cars of all kinds isn't coming, it's here, and it doesn't take the half-billion-dollar annual budget of a small DARPA division to do it. Check out the 60 Minutes video on the CBS site (you can watch the entire video from a mobile device without logging in). The OnStar hacking starts at 6:45, but it's worth watching what leads up to that. News Source: Jalopnik Chevrolet Safety Technology Infotainment Autonomous Vehicles Videos Sedan hacking 60 minutes
