I bought this car about 2 years ago and have been in the process of restoring it. This car is in excellent condition and you won't find too many '73 Nova's in this good a shape. The body is in perfect condition without a single scratch or dent.
This is car is 100% rust free. It was built in the old GM plant in Van Nuys and has never left California. It is NOT an East Coast car. Nova enthusiasts know that the hatchbacks in 73 and 74 were very prone to rust in the trunk/hb lid. I had the entire hatchback and trunk lid nearly re-built. It was stripped and all the rust damage was repaired. It was resealed and then repainted. There is no rust anywhere else in the car.
It does not have the original small block engine. about 7-8 years ago it had an Edelbrock 350 c.i/483 hp V8 dropped in it. This engine still runs very very good. The car starts up every time and never misses a beat. I'll be honest though - this engine delivers SS power but it will not melt the rubber off the tires. It's fast but I wouldn't compete at the Pomona straight away just yet. I increased HP by adding an MSD ignition boost/distributor which made a big difference. If I were to complete the restoration the only thing left to do is to drop in a new engine. This one runs so well that it was last on the list.
- Edelbrock 350 c.i/483 hp V8
- 3 speed automatic transmission
- Centerline rims and Hankkook and Firestone tires.
- no A/C or heat. Heater core is there but needs to be replaced
The price is a combination of what I paid and what I put into it. Here's what I've done:
- Interior completely redone: new seats (not redone seats. NEW seats), new carpets, new mats, new dash parts including the hard to find dash bezel and speedo. Also found a replica vintage radio that has an iPod connector. Perfect condition.
- Front, center and rear bumper fillers replaced.
- Front disc brakes installed replacing factor drum brakes. The kit was bought at Classic Industries and installed at Bagge and Sons in Culver City. Here's the kit:

- MSD Ignition/distributor kid and spark plug cables - replaced all the old cables with high performance MSD products.
- all four shocks, springs and control arm bushings replaced. The car rides smooth after I replaced all of that.
- Hatchback/trunk lid taken off, stripped, rebuilt and re-installed
- Frequent tune-ups and timing adjustments
Nearly all repair paperwork available.
The car is located in Culver City and kept under a car cover. Since I've owned it it's been driven about 50 miles a week tops.
Price lowered: leaving country, must sell. $13,500.00

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
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.
