1969 Chevrolet Nova Ss on 2040-cars
Kingsport, Tennessee, United States
Please message me with questions at: willettasangiacomo@netzero.net . "True Super Sport" , NOT a clone or tribute car dressed as a SS. Build sheet is included.
Non-original, but 1969 dated coded big block 396, According to cast numbers, it is a 1969 dated 396 for an Impala
or other large car model. The air cleaner and valve cover decals were present when I bought it. It was probably a
265 horse two barrel but now has an aluminum intake and Holley four barrel. Don't have head information. It sounds
like it has a mild cam but again I have no details. I have been doing sort of a "freshening up" versus a
restoration and for now, getting into the engine was a low priority. It runs strong and is very torquey. Not solid
lifter, probably more in the 325hp range than 375. Of course if it was the L78 396 we would be discussing a car
costing in the high 30s. Exhaust: original manifolds, mufflers and dual exhaust, no headers. Yes, there is a three
inch crack in the dash panel. I haven't opened the rear end, but according to axle stampings it came with the Eaton
3:31 positraction 12 bolt. To my knowledge, the car needs a new oil pan because someone before me stripped the
drain plug and it has a very slow drip. And it needs the aforementioned dash pad. TKO 500 5-speed transmission .
Original 12 bolt posi-traction rear end. New bell housing, flywheel, clutch, and driveshaft. New radiator, starter
and Mallory HEI distributor.
Straight body with no rust. Solid floors and trunk. California car New seat foam, covers, bucket seat backs,
headrests, and trim. New door panels, pull handles, and window cranks. New fuel tank, sending unit, lines, and fuel
pump. All new brake components front and rear, including calipers, rotors, pads, drums, shoes, and springs .
Speedometer does work. Reverse lights do not work only because they have not been connected to the switch that is
present on the new transmission. Trans also has electronic speedometer sensor which could be hooked to an
electronic speedo if a new gauge package were to be installed.
Garage kept for the past 9 years, and only driven 1200 miles during that time. A big hit at local car shows.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
