1971 Chevrolet Nova Ss on 2040-cars
Little Falls, Minnesota, United States
I am selling my 1971 Nova SS. This is one of the cleanest Nova’s you will find. The car was originally sold at Purvis-Taylor Chevrolet in Crystal Springs Mississippi on February 2nd, 1971. I have the original owner’s manual and a binder with the receipts documenting the Frame-off Restoration that was completed in 2006. There is over $40,000 invested in the Frame-off Restoration and the car has been driven less than 1,500 miles since the restoration. The car was factory ordered with air conditioning and was also factory ordered with the rare radio delete option. This car is in beautiful condition and has won multiple 1st place and Best of Show Awards. Drivetrain: The engine is not numbers matching. It is a modern crate 350 with a 4 bolt main that has been stroked
to a 383 with many upgrades. It has high volume oil
pump, steel crank, Jessell aluminum rods, Jessell high performance pistons,
Pro-line aluminum heads, Pro-line aluminum intake, Barry Grant Demon
Carburetor, MSD 6AL Ignition, new alternator, fully functional AC and Power
Steering, 150 HP shot of Nitrous (Only been used for show purposes, has never been
filled or ran through car) and a lot of chrome and polished parts. The car has not been put on a Dyno but is estimated to be
approximately 450 HP. The transmission is a Richmond 5-speed backed by a Ram Heavy Duty
clutch and Lakewood shatterproof bell housing. Shifting the gears is done by a HURST shifter. The exhaust begins with full length 3 inch Jet Coated headers that
flow into Pypes Violator mufflers. The exhaust exits in the
factory location and is 3 inch from front to back. This setup gives the car an amazing sound that you must hear in
person. The rear end is a Currie 9 inch with 3.73 gears, Posi, and heavy
duty Currie 33 spline axles. It has adjustable CAL-TRAC
traction bars that have been installed along with sub-frame ties. The brakes have been completely upgraded to 4 wheel BAER power
disc brakes that are drilled and vented. The wheels on this car are American Racing Torque Thrust II that
are wrapped in Fuzion ZRI tires. The fronts are 225/55/16
and the rears are 255/50/17. Interior: The interior is mostly original with the exception of front seat
covers and carpet. The headliner, dash pad,
door panels and rear seat are all original and in excellent condition. The front seats have been recovered and new carpet has been
installed. There are also new
Chevrolet floor mats in the front and back. All of the interior is in
excellent condition there is no rips, cracks, or stains. Everything works great including all the lights, gauges and
switches. Body: This car retains all of its original sheet metal. There is absolutely no rust anywhere on this car. This car is laser straight and all factory seams line up
excellent. The doors, hood and trunk
shut with ease just like new. The original numbers are
still stamped in the quarters. The trunk is finished with
factory speckle paint. All of the chrome, glass
and moldings are in excellent condition and have a brilliant shine to
them. The car is finished with a
PPG base coat/clear coat Marina Blue paint that looks amazing. The paint is laser straight and has amazing depth. If you are looking for a car that you can take to shows, have fun driving, and be proud to own this is the car for you. This car runs, drives, handles, and looks great. It can be driven anywhere, and was part of the Power Tour in 2010. The car is always stored in a climate controlled garage and is always covered with a custom fitted car cover (included with the car). The car is only driven on nice days and has not seen rain or bad weather since the restoration. The car is Frame-off Restored and no corners have been cut, everything was done right. Everything on this car is in beautiful condition, including the underside which is as nice as the top. The underside has been completely painted black and is in excellent condition. I have done my best describing the car as accurately and detailed as possible, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Also, if you would like any additional pictures of the car contact me and I can take them and send them to you. Payment: A $1,000 non refundable payment is due within 48 hours of auction close. The remaining balance is due within 7 days of auction close. Remaining balance must be paid by cash in person, or verified cashiers check or bank draft. Shipping: Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup, and if the car needs to be shipped the buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements. |

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.
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.")
First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
