1969 Nova Super Sport Big Block 4 speed. This car was restored as close as possible to duplicate the classic 396/375HP Nova Super Sport. All work was completed In 2004 and according to the previous owner won it's class at the Detroit Autorama show that year. It has been on the road for the last 9 years and has a couple of chips here and there but overall the paint is in great shape as is the pinstriping. Repainted according to the cowl tag it was done in the original Turquoise Blue. It has a code dated 396 Big Block (Code CLR) 375HP solid lifter motor. The motor is not stock as you can see from the pictures. It has a complete Crane roller rocker setup and girdle. I have not been in the bottom end of the motor but based on the way she runs it is evident that whoever built the car built it for one thing and one thing only - to eat up unsuspecting Hemi's and other high performance cars of that era. She is extremely fast and NOT for the novice or kid who wants daddy to buy him a toy. I've had muscle cars my entire life and this one is scary fast even with the change to 3:42's. With a bone stock look under the hood is a built big bock with a Holley 750 double pumper, headers, Crane cam and electronic ignition. It's attached to a close ratio Muncie M21 Rock Crusher 4 speed with Hurst shifter and a hooker headers and a complete Flowmaster exhaust.. There is a full scattershield and driveshaft loop for safety. Frame connectors from the front subframe to the rear leaf spring mount make the frame super rigid and solid. Multi leaf springs with traction bars hold the rear end which is a GM 12 bolt with a new 3:42 posi which replaced the originally installed 4:11's which was great for drag racing but not suitable for the street.in my opinion. Up front are disc brakes and heavy duty Big Block springs and shocks. The overall drivetrain is solid, fast and good looking too. Under the hood you will find chrome oil pan, timing cover, most brackets, alternator, fan shroud and even the hood hinges. The interior is bone stock with the only blemish being a small 1" tear in the front seat. An AM/FM CD sits where the original radio was located. All seat belts, optional shoulder harness and new carpet make up the rest of the interior. The exterior sheet metal on this car is laser straight and original. All seams between fenders, doors and body are perfect. You can see a lot of time went into the final assembly and build of this beauty. There are 2 small repairs on the floorpans about 4" x 8" which was done in 2004 during the restoration. Other than that the entire undercarriage is original and solid front to back. Ne BF Goodrich 15" radials sit on original super sport rims with perfect trim rings and beauty caps. She runs like a dream and is great on the highway, She stops on a dime and Power steering makes her easy to drive, With plenty of power under the hood and the close ratio 4 speed transmission it makes her a blast to drive and a head turner wherever you go. The bone stock look is deceiving with the only clue as to whats in it being the 396 badges in the front fenders. Fun to drive. Thumbs up from everyone who see's her. Runs like a rocket and needs a new home with someone who likes to clean and show her off to take over! Low Reserve on this great example of classic American Muscle. Happy bidding and Happy driving to the new owner whomever that may be!

Please remember - this is not a toy - it is s very fast vehicle and in the hands of an inexperienced driver there may be issues keeping the car under control. On the other hand, If you have been to the drag strip with any older high performance vehicle your gonna love this baby. Comes out of the hole straight as an arrow. Second gear can be scary. Third and your gone! lol Tons of fun!!!

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
