 ok, more details about the Nova...I bought this car in Indiana about two years ago, before that it came from Georgia, it was a project in progress.  The engine had just been rebuilt and set in the car, it was ran for the first time when I looked at the car just so I could hear it run.  I buttoned things up under the hood such as installing the PS, belts, hoses, etc.  It has a freshly rebuilt Q-Jet, HEI ignition, headers and cherry bombs.  The tires are BF Goodrich Radial T/A 225 70SR 15 on original ralley wheels.  The odometer shows 95508 miles but the engine has less than 500 miles on it, it has new subframe bushings, a hood scoop on the original hood, it has power steering with new hoses, it has black interior with bench seat (one seam has come apart on the driver side) and column shift, new carpet and arm rests, it does need a headliner-the bows are there but the liner has been taken out.  The floor pans are solid (no rust and never been replaced), the driver side lower quarter has been replaced and both lower front fenders have been properly repaired, the trunk pan has been repaired (not a replacement pan) but it is solid.  I have a new gas tank ordered and will be installing it this week.  As stated, the body is in a base coat, it does need blocked to be finished out (there are some minor dings here and there, nothing major), all the glass is good, this is a solid car.  It runs strong and is fun to drive, its a head turner as is.  Please feel free to ask any questions, SERIOUS buyers can call me at 618 508 3652.  I am moving on the 23rd of June and am motivated to sell this car quickly. thanks

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
