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. |

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Sinkhole Opens Up In National Corvette Museum, Swallows Eight Cars
Wed, Feb 12 2014More cars are being moved inside the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. to avoid falling down the same sinkhole that swallowed eight classic sports cars early this morning, Autoblog reported. Museum officials said the hole was discovered when motion sensors activated around 5:45 a.m. The rescue mission can be viewed on the museum's live feed cameras, which weren't working after the sinkhole emerged. A 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil," both on loan from General Motors, were among the cars that fell into the sinkhole. The museum owned the other affected Corvettes, which included a 1963 Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car and the 1 millionth Corvette ever produced. The state of the cars at the bottom of the hole isn't known, but trial lawyer and sinkhole expert Ted Corless said the cars may be a total loss for the museum and GM. "Most states, including Kentucky, exclude damage caused by sinkhole activity," he said. "There will be, in all likelihood, a claim made, but a lot of policies would specifically exclude these kinds of damages." Corless has 15 years experience dealing with sinkholes. He said that typically neither the building, nor the cars themselves are protected under their insurance policies. "I would have to say, more likely then not, they're going to have an uninsured loss measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars." The museum is closed Wednesday while a structural engineer assesses the damage.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
