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.

Chevy Volt 'acceptable,' Nissan Leaf 'poor' in new IIHS safety tests

Thu, Jul 31 2014

Ford C-Max Hybrid also scored "acceptable" rating. With US Nissan Leaf sales up almost 30 percent during the first half of the year, the only thing that might be able to stop the battery-electric vehicle is a good, stiff barrier. Unfortunately, thing's aren't always pretty when that happens in the real world, according to new tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Things with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in are a little bit rosier, though. The two plug-in vehicles were part of a batch of a dozen vehicles that just went through the IIHS's "small overlap" test, in which the driver's side front corner of the vehicle is crashed into a rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Out of the dozen, only the Mini Cooper Countryman was given a "good" rating. Five vehicles, including the Volt and the Ford C-Max Hybrid, were rated "acceptable," two were "marginal" and two, including the Leaf, were "poor." Plug-in vehicles are unique in the crash-test context because of their relatively large battery sizes. In the Volt's case, the driver had a "low risk" of injury, said the IIHS. But the Leaf's crash substantially pushed back the instrument panel and steering column, creating a scenario where the driver was "likely" to sustain leg injuries. The batteries in both the Leaf and the Volt passed safety tests specifically targeted at things like thermo and electrical properties and overall integrity. "Nissan is proud of the Leaf's 'Good' rating in all other IIHS tests, a 4-star NCAP rating from NHTSA and its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in all previous years since the car's release," the company said in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "As for the performance of the 2014 Leaf in the 'small overlap frontal test,' Nissan will continue to review these and other results from the IIHS 'small overlap frontal test' as we seek opportunities for improvement." Check out the IIHS's press release and small car crash-test video footage below. Range of ratings: Small car ratings run the gamut in challenging small overlap front test The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 cars subjected to the Institute's small overlap front crash test. Two electric models and a hybrid also are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine "range extender") earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating.

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car.

ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact. With over 9 million charging sessions delivering 65 gigawatt hours of energy, EV drivers have avoided over 60 million pounds of CO2 and 8.2 million gallons of gasoline, and driven over 196 million gas-free miles. *Based on national averages: EV efficiency of 3 miles per kWh, gas efficiency of 23.9 mpg and a net savings of 0.924 pounds of CO2 per kWh.

2016 Chevrolet Camaro: Everything we know so far [UPDATE]

Fri, May 15 2015

UPDATE: We fully expect the floodgates to open as facts and photos leak throughout the day. Watch this space for more information as it breaks, including these leaked photos, and some new powertrain speculation. Chevrolet has made a grand production of teasing the all-new, sixth-generation Camaro. That slow trickle will become a deluge this weekend, when the 2016 model hits the stage on Detroit's Belle Isle as part of an all-day Camaro-palooza. Considering you're likely to hear plenty about the next-gen muscle car in the next couple days, we figured now is the perfect time to sort out all the facts and rumors we've heard about the next-generation coupe that's coming this weekend. Here's everything we know about Camaro Six. What Will It Look Like? Arguably the easiest Camaro question to answer after all the teasers and spy shots, General Motors' design team favored evolving the current car's retro design language while retaining the same basic shape. The long hood will carry on, joined by an even shorter, wing-topped rear deck, giving the 2016 an almost fastback-like look. The greenhouse is still slim, but lateral visibility may improve slightly owing to the larger quarter windows. We can only hope. The rear end looks to have been rounded, while Chevy's own teaser shows off larger, more prominent taillight housings than the simple rectangular lights on today's car. Expect quad-tipped exhausts to be offered on at least one version of the Camaro. Judging by the single teaser of the car's profile, the rear haunches will be larger and more chiseled. The muscular aluminum hood and its accompanying power bulge are more heavily styled than on today's car, although it looks largely similar in terms of size. It sits atop an even slimmer upper grille that's barely big enough for Chevy's Bowtie logo, with most of the visual mass moving to the gaping lower grille. One of the more tantalizing rumors surrounding the new Camaro focuses on its roof. As evidenced in a rather bizarre round of spy photos, it almost looks like Chevy is considering a removable panel, a la Corvette Stingray. T-tops are also a distinct (and more probable, we hope) possibility. The new shape will result in a more aerodynamic car, and Chevy claims the 2016 Camaro spent 350 hours in the wind tunnel. Overall lift has apparently been cut by 30 percent, thanks partially to a new, smooth underbody panel. Chevrolet has been far less forthcoming with information on the new Camaro's cabin.
