Chevrolet Nova High Quality Build Fuel Injection Reasonable Rides and Rods presents this 1972
Chevrolet Nova for your consideration. This
Nova is a high quality restored/custom car that needs nothing and can be driven
and enjoyed now. Paint/Body/Trim Painted in Silver-Blue Metallic, the paint
presentation of this Nova is outstanding.
Already a very solid car, it was stripped down to bare metal and
painted. This is a high quality paint
job and all of the gaps are done well. The
firewall, floor pans, drop offs and trunk are in excellent condition. All glass and trim are new and in excellent condition.
All new weatherstrip was installed
throughout the car when it was painted. Interior The interior is a combination of stock and
aftermarket components. The front seats
are new Procar Rally and the rear seat has been covered with the same
material. The custom rear package tray
utilizes the same material. The steering
wheel is a Billet Specialties Street Lite attached to the custom tilt column. A custom console was created and houses the gauges and a B&M Mega
Shifter. The stereo is a Retro 2 knob with
MP3 capability. The carpet, dash,
door panels, and headliner are in great shape.
The fuel injection handheld computer is located in the glove box. The interior of this car is extremely nice
and adds a lot to the presentation. Engine/Transmission/Rear
End The engine is a four bolt main 350 bored .030 over with a steel crank, 10:1
SRP forged pistons, Competition Cam, Edelbrock Aluminum Heads, Edelbrock Air
Gap Intake, MSD 6 Ignition, billet accessories, and MSD Atomic EFI. The engine has less than 200 miles since the
build and performs flawlessly. The fuel
injection ensures that this car starts every time and is extremely
responsive. As you can see in the
pictures, the entire fuel system is built for the fuel injection. The fuel tank and pump system is done
correctly to support the fuel injection. It is dressed with all of the Edelbrock engine
components for a nice presentation. The
engine is estimated to produce 400 hp. The
exhaust has Hooker long tube headers and is a full length stainless system with
Flowmaster mufflers. A four core
aluminum radiator and dual electric fans keeps this little Nova running
cool. The transmission is a built Turbo
350 Automatic with a 2500 stall converter. The
transmission was built at the same time as the engine. The rear end is a GM 10 bolt with an Auburn
posi unit and 3.73 gears, and a Trick Flow cover. Suspension/Brakes/Tires/Wheels The suspension and steering components are all
new. The steering has a manual gear box,
but has been upgraded to a quick ratio box.
The stock control arms were retained, but all bushings are poly
urethane. A set of Competition Engineering subframe connectors
were added to handle the power. All new Right Stuff 4 wheel disc brakes were installed with slotted and cross-drilled
rotors. A new chrome booster, master
cylinder, and proportion valve complete the brake system. The
car rides on new SLG Series Billet Specialties Wheels and Nitto NT555 235/40-18
front and 245/40-18 rear tires. The car
drives and steers better than new. Overall This Nova has been built right. Everything works on the car and it is fast,
reliable, and enjoyable to drive. With
the fuel injection set up, you could use it as a daily driver, or a weekend
cruiser/show car. This is a totally
solid car and a very high quality build with over $40k spent on paint, engine, trans, suspension, interior, wheels/tires, ect.

Next Chevy Volt will be 2016 model and ride on new chassis
Fri, Mar 7 2014What do we know about the 2016 Chevy Volt? Well, for now, all we can do is try to put the puzzle together without the box. Thankfully, a new batch of pieces has arrived from a new report in Edmunds, which says that the 2016 model year will introduce the second generation of a car that hasn't been dramatically updated since it went on sale in 2010. The new Volt is getting an "evolutionary styling change" and will ride on a new front-drive platform that has been developed by General Motors. GM's Kevin Kelly told AutoblogGreen that he has "no comment on future products," but he did acknowledge that Chevrolet is working on a second-generation Volt, "but I can't say anything about timing." Everybody already knew that a next-gen Volt is coming, so that's not a surprise. What we don't know is any real concrete information on the car itself. The few tidbits of information we do have help define the outlines of the next version of Chevy's halo car, but they're not confirmed yet. For the record, they range from the eye-raising (a $10,000 price drop) to the logical (20 percent more electric range). We can't see the whole picture yet, but the pieces do point to the 2016 Volt, which would be released next year sometime, being a much bigger deal than the last update, when the Volt's range was increased by three electric miles thanks to a battery capacity increase of 16 kWh to 16.5.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 [w/videos]
Wed, Jan 7 2015I think I was supposed to be back hours ago. Driving northwest on State Road 190 with a final destination deep in the heart of the Death Valley National Park, it occurs to me that I might have agreed to return after an hour or so, instead of the four I'll end up stealing, solo, in the new Z06. Somewhere in the combination of mountain vistas, arching, speed-hungry desert roads, and the sound of this titanic engine on a constant run up the rev ladder, I forgot everything I'd promised back at home base. The generous, civilized part of me worries for a moment that absconding with the new-best Corvette might have left one of my fellow journalists without a car. But the selfish part of me – the part largely in control of the rocket-launcher of a throttle under my right foot – says "screw it." I spent two days with the 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06, a monster of a sports car that will soon be dominating track days everywhere, and I never once was inclined to share it. Hurtling through the shattered stillness of the desert and pulling big Gs at Spring Mountain circuit, I never felt overly disposed to give up my seat. This Corvette, more than any I've yet driven, was deep enough to hold my attention; for two days, for two years, probably. With this Z06, the Corvette steps over the amazing-for-the-price category, and solidly into the best-cars-in-the-world zone. There are peripheral elements that remind me of its blue collar, Bowtie heritage, sure, but there's more that simply begs me to carry on driving... faster. Most casual car observers will be able to pick the 2015 Z06 out from its less aggressive Stingray brothers. Subtler hints include a new, more open grille, larger extractor on the taller hood and rather discreet badges on the flanks of the car. More outrageous is the finned spoiler on the rear trunk lid, and the widebody look offered from flared fenders – an extra 1.57 inches (40 millimeters) at their beefiest point. Even driving around performance-car-laden Pahrump, NV – loaded thanks to the very active community at the Spring Mountain racing resort – members of the local populace were turning heads, waving and generally noting the Z06 with approval when I drove through town. In Torch Red over black painted aluminum wheels, staggered at 19-inches in front and 20 at the back, the amped-up Z06 hits a new level of road presence for the C7.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
