Engine:305 c.i.
Drive Type: Manual
Model: Nova
Mileage: 33,800
Trim: Rally
1976 Nova Rally SS, 305 c.i., 4 barrel Rochester carb, Borg-Warner Super T10 4 speed, 10 bolt 3.73 posi. 33,800 original miles on the body. Engine is out of a 79 Malibu. It has been freshened up with a new valve job and hardened valve seals, bottom end of motor was checked and needed nothing! Runs perfect, shifts great. Body is very solid with original floors, trunk, fenders, quarter panels, rocker panels etc. Car was stripped down to bare metal. There was some minor body work done at the front and back of the rear wheel wells because of some rust starting but it was nothing major. Rust was cut out and small patches welded in and all metal body filler was used. There are 2 small spots on the passenger door that will some attention as this was restored about 8 years ago. Paint job is not the greatest, base coat clear but showing some signs of age. Still the car is a good 10 footer but the new owner would probably want to repaint it at some point. Black stripes are decals. Drives great, no shakes or rattles, just like a car with this low mileage should. I bought it when it had only 28,000 miles on it and went over the whole car. Garage kept. When I had the car on Ebay a few months ago, i had a radical 400 small block in it, but that engine ended up having some issues so it was pulled. The new parts I put on it are brakes, radiator, waterpump, shocks, Dynomax headers, clutch setup, transmission rebuilt, hurst shifter, the 3.73 posi was built new by a professional drivetrain shop, custom bent 2 1/2" stainless exhaust with Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers. The interior is all original except the front seats. They are out of a Camaro and I recovered them. Door panels, trim, dash, headliner, kick panels, console, etc are all in great shape. The original carpet is starting to show its age in a few spots but still looks good. Heater, defrost, blower all work great. All dash lights work, along with the horn, wipers, dome light, even that damn key buzzer!! Only the backup lights don't work because I never put a switch on the tranny. Glass is good, doors open and close like they are new. All new weatherstripping. 8" ralley wheels with 215 70 15 tires with lots of tread yet. Chrome around windows are in ok shape for aluminum, some scratches but you know how that gets over the years. Bumpers are nice for the most part with only a ding here and there but still shine very good. Rear tail lights are in great shape inside and out. I'm sure i'm missing some thing but I hope I described this car enough to make the new owner comfortable with what they are getting. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. I just have one too many toys right now, so i'm selling this one. If you like this generation Nova, I think you will love this one. Email any questions, just don't ask what the reserve price is please! Thanks for looking.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
