1972 Chevrolet Nova With A 454 on 2040-cars
Senatobia, Mississippi, United States
|
Up for auction is a Really Nice 1972 Nova w/ 454. I’m listing this 1972 Nova for a friend of mine and it is a clean one. It is a very nice driver (not a trailer queen) and has limited flaws inside and out. I’ll reveal everything I see and will reply to any emails or phone messages as quickly as I can. This Nova is a very reliable & smooth running, I think you’ll be pleased with it and it’s priced very reasonably. Feel free to call 662-560-4609 and leave a message if I don’t pick up or drop me a note through Ebay. The owner has a Clear Title. I will start with the outside. First of all, I don’t see any rust on this car, underneath or on the outside. The car does have a few small paint chips but nothing large, and the owner has a small bottle of touch up paint. The doors close firmly and may be in need of a pin and/or a slight alignment to match up to the quarters (see pic). The rear quarters have been replaced. The paint color code is Radiant Red #756 (feel free to look it up in case the pictures may or may not show up correctly). It has a nice paint job, again not a showroom finish but very clean. The body is in good condition, straight and solid. The front lower valance (just below the grill) has a crack see pic). The glass is also clean (windshield, rear window and sides). The rear windows do roll down partially (the driver side rear window needs assistance on the way up) and the doors are equipped with Power Windows (they work great, the ignition doesn’t need to be on either to power up or down). The headlights are currently not working but will be (a horn was recently installed and I’m thinking they disconnected the headlights somehow), the parking lights, side lights, brake & turn signal lights all work. The reverse lights do not work (these will require a switch connected to the shifter). The wipers do work. The hood is set up with a forward tilt Corvette style mechanism and is easy to mange. The cowl hood is a nice touch, looks really sharp and has the only emblems on the car “454”. The owner does have the original hood, this will go with the car. Trunk pan and floor boards are clean (the trunk has a different style carpet in it, not the factory mat – see pic). I am not certain of the wheel manufacturer, but they 14” rims. The tires are P195/70R14 on the front (new) with a recent alignment, and P205/75R14. Spare tire in the trunk w/ matching rim. Now for the interior: Black interior and shows nicely but needs a little attention, nothing urgent and I’ll note those later. There is after market tach installed in the instrument cluster (right side of the speedometer). The gauges all work and there are 3 extra gauges mounted below (Volt, Oil Pressure and Water Temp). The dash pad is in good shape, a small tear on the driver side, down low. There’s a vent missing on the passenger side. The carpet, back seat, door panels, dash, rear deck sail panel are all in good condition. Headliner is new and the driver side sail panel needs replaced. Panasonic stereo/CD with 6” x 9” speakers. The front seat is in good shape but when you sit down you can see a seam that’s coming apart, may need to be re-sewn or recovered. Drive train consists of a 454 w/ Rocker Rollers and a mild cam. It starts easily and has a very nice thump to it. Very clean under the hood w/ several chrome components. Automatic Turbo 400 transmission & shifts hard. Some recently added items are new valve cover gaskets, alternator, transmission pan gasket & cooling lines to the radiator, B&M floor shifter, new 3.45 ratio rear-end, anti-sway bars (front & rear, all chrome) and modified suspension, new fuel tank, 4 wheel manual disk brakes w/ front hoses from calipers to frame rails. The Nova also has headers w/ dual 2 1/2 inch exhaust with flow masters, all in great condition (the headers could use a new coating). The car really sounds nice. Chrome drive line and lower control arms. Battery is mounted in the trunk and has a quick disconnect lever. This is a very nice Nova and a reliable driver. While there are a few things missing or needing attention, they are small and won’t keep you from getting in it and driving off. I have driven it and it runs strong and drives nicely. The current owner has had this car for over a year, made some nice improvements and is ready to move onto another project. We do not know the specifics on the engine but I can tell you it sounds good and runs well. This is a non-A/C & non-power steering car. Again, give me a call @ 662-560-4609 or send me Ebay emails and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. The owner does have this car for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction if the reserve hasn’t been met. This is priced to sell compared to other Nova’s I’ve seen, so I believe you will be pleased with this one. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. On May-08-14 at 20:13:01 PDT, seller added the following information: OK, I heard from 3 Nova experts advising that even though this is a 1972 Nova front end, doors, VIN & title, the rear body of the car is a '73 / '74 series. If you compare the rear side windows between the '72 & others, you can see a distinct shape. Apparently this body swap is somewhat common and doesn't take away from the car and that it's a very nice driver. So thanks to the 3 Nova experts, however I wanted to disclose this and not hide anything about the car. My picture of the Nova with the hood up didn't load, so I'll be happy to send via email. Thanks again for looking and call with any questions. |

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
