1975 Chevrolet Nova Coupe Pro Street W/nos Clean on 2040-cars
Burlington, Iowa, United States
|
If you're looking at this car, then you probably know as much as I do about it. The car was abandoned in a storage facility, and I ended up with it. I have a clear title in my name.
So Here's what I do know: Someone put a lot of money into this car. I washed the care and dusted it, it has not been detailed. Body: I can find absolutely no rust on this car. The undercarriage is very clean indicating it has not been driven in bad weather or winter since restoration. The interior looks to be original with the exception of the gauges and shifter. There is a small seam coming apart on driver's seat, about 2 inches long - shown in photos. Overall, very nice condition. Carpet and mats are in very good condition. The trunk is clean, no spare. The tires are all severely checked and all will need replacing, all hold air but leak. It appears that something was dropped on the hood and there is paint damage, shown in photos. Otherwise, paint is good, it isn't a super high-end paint job, but looks good and I think would look great with a professional buffing. Glass and chrome are both very strong. Mechanical: I have no idea what the engine is in this thing, nor how it was built. It is strong though! It obviously has a cam, lumpy idle, but streetable. The NOS system has gas in it, but I haven't hit the button, so can't tell you more than that. Auto Trans, no idea what one, has a B&M shifter. It has a full frame brace underneath and some traction bars. The engine does seem to have oil pressure on the low side, I'm not familiar with these cars, so not sure, but it sits at about 10psi hot idle, 45psi at 3,000 rpm - it still has the oil in it that I know has been in for at least 4 years, no idea if the gauge is accurate either. Does not smoke, starts easily and runs great, sounds good, no knocks, etc. That is about all I know. I would not plan to drive this car any distance until tires are replaced and oil and other service performed. I do know that someone put a lot of money into this car and has taken car of it. It will burn rubber as long as you have tire left on the rim, sounds great. I am listing this car with no reserve because I truly don't know much about it and cannot tell you absolutely its condition. Thanks for looking. |

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
