Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end early.

You are bidding on a great example of Chevy muscle car history, the 1972 Nova. The 1972 was arguably the last of the "good" years and certainly collectable. This vehicle began its life as a bare bones 6 cylinder automatic, still retains its original early 70's classic green on green color combo. The miles indicated are just shy of 45000 and said to be original, I have the original owners manual, sales literature and vehicle inspection form. So what we have is a very solid classic Nova with great ownership history that has recently been mechanically upgraded to a serious 500 hp sleeper. Still retains that Sunday driver look with black wall tires, steel wheels and a bench seat and only the most observant would notice the 3" exhaust, deep sump oil pan, traction bars and of course that big block sound. Description as follows:

Interior: Factory original combo of bench seat, column shift automatic, still retains the original working AM radio and factory original steering wheel. Does have a set of aftermarket gauges mounted under the dash. Overall interior condition is excellent, all gauges, lights, speedo etc. work properly.

Exterior: One repaint to its original code 48 Sequoia Green. All exterior chrome and trim in nice shape. 15 x 7 and 15 x 8 steel wheels on new radials and chrome center caps. Body in very nice condition, minimal nicks or chips. Nicely detailed trunk area with spare and jack assembly.

Mechanical: Early 70's 454 casting # 361959, built to 496 cu in. and approx. 500 hp according to prior owner. No dyno sheets to prove the horse power but based on a "seat of the pants" opinion, this car pulls awfully strong. Edelbrock air gap aluminum intake, 750 cfm Edelbrock carb. Extreme high energy cam, Lunati valve train, Moroso 7 qt. oil pan, HEI ignition. Transmission is a TH350 tran with stall converter. Posi rear end with 4.10 gear. Full 3" flow master exhaust with tail pipes, incredible sound! Very nicely done engine compartment with vintage style dual snorkel air cleaner. This Nova starts, runs and drives very reliably on pump gas, heavy duty radiator, absolutely no overheating problems. No smoke, no leaks, totally turn key, just get in and go.

Please take the time to review all the pics and dont hesitate to call with further questions; 517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed MI dealer.

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

New Corvette Feature Keeps An Eye On Valets

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Face it. If you own a luxury or sports car, whenever you hand the keys to a valet, you imagine the car going on a high-speed joyride like the Ferrari in the 1980s cult movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now, General Motors has an option on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette that takes those worries away. The latest version of the sports car, due out in September, has a feature that records where the car goes with a camera mounted in the windshield trim. It also captures audio in the cabin as well as speed, engine revolutions per minute, gear position and G-force. That all helps the car tattle on any valet who doesn't take a slow, direct route to a parking space. GM says it's the most extensive attempt by an automaker to thwart valet joyriders, although it's not the first. The automotive website Edmunds.com says Hyundai and Mercedes offer "geofencing," a feature that sets a perimeter and then notifies the owner's smart phone if a car goes beyond it. Chrysler has a valet mode that caps engine speed and horsepower, while Audi lets owners limit engine speed for valets. With the Corvette, once the owner activates the feature with a four-digit code, the touch screen tells the driver it's in Valet Mode. But it doesn't warn the valet that he's being recorded. The feature also locks the glove box and a storage compartment in the dashboard and shuts down the infotainment system. Valet Mode started off as a performance data recorder for those who take their Corvettes on the racetrack. GM engineers quickly figured out that it had more uses. "Think of it as a baby monitor for your car," Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles said in a statement. "Anyone who has felt apprehension about handing over their keys will appreciate the peace of mind of knowing exactly what happened while their baby was out of sight." Data and video from the valet mode can be viewed instantly by the owner on the car's 8-inch color screen when the car is parked, or it can be downloaded to a computer. The system could go into more mainstream models if feedback is good on the Corvette, GM spokesman Monte Doran said. The feature is paired with a navigation system and costs $1,795. A 2015 Corvette starts at just under $54,000. Chevrolet Technology Gadgets
