I have a 1970 Chevrolet Nova project for sale.  I have the rebuild paperwork for the title, but haven't submitted it yet and am still in contact with the previous owner if more paperwork is needed to be signed to finish the Rebuilt Title process.  With that out of the way, I have a good condition 1970 Nova for sale.  Was originally a 307 with an Auto Column shift transmission.  Someone has installed a manual trans pedal assembly and cut a hole in the floor pan for a manual transmission.  I have a Th400 transmission with a TCI 2200 stall converter for it (used), and an almost complete 454 engine.  No transmission crossmember or proper driveshaft for that transmission.  I have a driveshaft that I will let go with it but am not sure it will work with trans and rear end.  I am not sure about what rear end it has, as I have not been able to find any identification on it.  It has drums all around on it.  

It has two factory rally's in the back and two newer rally's in the front.  I have a set of 15x7 wheels and tires that go with the car as well.  As well as a B&M floor shifter with a TH350 cable, no TH400 cable to go with.  No original seats for the car.  I have to high back bucket seats that go with it.  I believe they came out of a 1973 Grand Prix or similar GM car.

The 454 engine has been disassembled and was just about to get rebuilt, but have too many projects going right now.  I have the block (standard bore), crankshaft (standard rods and mains), stock pistons and rods, a set of good heads, factory 4 barrel manifold, factory rear dump exhaust manifolds, and a factory cam in the block.  The bores and bearing journals are in great shape and would be ready to put back together if someone bought a rebuild kit for it.  

The front and rear subframes are in good shape and not rusted out.  It will need a left rear quarter or fix the panel that is there.  I have two good doors that go with the car.  They just need to be changed out.  There is body rust on the car, but it is a very solid builder and should be treated as such.  

Previous owner attempted sanding on the car years ago and created nothing but surface rust where he didn't prime back up.  All the windows are there and in good shape.  One of the other doors has good glass in it as well.  Will need drivers side floor pan and passenger side front floor pan.  Trunk is solid.  Dash is in good shape, pad is cracked.  Engine wiring harness is still intact and so is all other wiring.

454 Engine Block - 14015445.  2 Bolt Main
454 Heads -  6272292 Oval Port Heads

I will post all the pics I am allowed and will get the cowl tag posted on here as well.  If you have any questions or would like to come look at the car, send me your number to seanmmacgregor@aol.com and I will contact you.  I can also text or email any desired photos to you.  I want everyone to be completely informed on what I am selling so there are no surprises when you show up. 

Thank you and good luck.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
