1972 Chevrolet Nova 383 Stroker Turbo 400 on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
This is my other car I'm selling to thin out the heard. It's a 1972 Chevy Nova that I've owned for 13 years and it has been a joy to drive. I'm just downsizing and not selling the car to get rid of because of problems. Car runs perfect and handles excellent. Custom bodywork and paint done by the legendary Sam Foose and rubbed out by Jake of the Overhaulin show. Paint is 6 years old and looks like it was painted yesterday. There is ZERO rust on this car anywhere. The motor is a 383 Stroker with a Turbo 400 transmission that was just serviced. Lots of power yet very streetable and sounds great. This is one of my cars that I do drive everywhere. Other features on the car are custom buckets up front with a custom rear seat to accommodate the roll bar. The roll bar has been modified to make it easier to get in and out. Interior includes sound absorbing material throughout with brand new black carpet. There is a custom console that Sam Foose also built that handles the B&M shifter with line lock button in the handle. 12 bolt posi rear with 3:90 gears. New aluminum radiator with electric fan and K&N air filter. Motor was built for Nitrous but I've never used it in the 13 years I've owned it. Power Steering with upgraded SSBC disc's up front with drums in the rear make this car stop on a dime. New wheels and tires. 225/50/17 Nexen tires on 8x17 Chrome American Racing Wheels on all four corners. Front sway bar and frame connectors help keep you on the road. Hooker Super Comp Jet Hot ceramic coated headers, front lower air deflector, radiator brace filler and a drive shaft loop round out this beauty. As a touch for the people that worked on the car, the glove box door is signed by Chip Foose with one of his free hand drawings and by his infamous dad, Sam Foose also. Look at the pictures of the roof and you can see the reflection of the trees with great detail. So if you are looking for a car to do a lot of work on, keep looking. This car is complete and needs nothing but a driver and a good home. And if you want any other pictures of the car, just ask and I'll get them to you. |

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
GM patent reveals new two-stage turbocharger
Fri, Jun 24 2016Modern turbochargers may be some of the best ever made, but performance is something that engineers are always trying to improve. According to GM Inside News, General Motors (GM) is hoping to alleviate some of the negative aspects of a two-stage turbocharger setup with a newly-patented design. The patent, that was filed on May 19, 2016, reveals a clever bypass system that allows the engine, a four-cylinder unit, to optimize both the low-pressure and high-pressure inlets for its respective functions. According to the filing, a conventional two-stage turbocharger setup is engineered to allow both turbines to operate simultaneously at low and mid engine speeds. At high engine speeds, only the low-pressure turbine works. The setup can't isolate either the low or high pressure side, which can impair low-end performance. GM's new two-stage turbocharger setup looks to eliminate this by linking the high-pressure turbo to the exhaust manifold through the high-pressure inlet duct. The low-pressure turbo is attached to the high-pressure turbo by a low-pressure inlet duct, which is linked to a connecting channel. A single actuator that is housed in the exhaust manifold creates a bypass that can opens the high-pressure inlet or close the connecting channel. Depending on what the engine load and speed is, the ECU guides the actuator—a single rotating spindle with discs corresponding to flanges on the high and low pressure sides—to isolate one of the two turbos. Isolating the turbos allow the respective inlets to be engineered for the best possible fluid dynamic performance. The setup should increase performance and decrease lag. There's no word on what car this setup will make an appearance on, but it will most likely be used in premium vehicles before trickling down to the rest of GM's vehicles.
