Big Block Nova Super Sport Tribute with 454 and 4 speed (same body style as 1968, 1969, 1970, and 1971).
I bought this Nova shortly after retiring from the Air Force, and already completed most of the hard work.
The body was all original and extremely solid. There is currently no rust on the car.
Five years ago I had a "rat rod grey" paint job applied, along with some replacement quarter panel work (due to dents and very minor "dime sized" corrosion spots behind at least one of the rear tires.
The Big Block has freshly machined 1970 396 "oval port" heads, and runs strong. There is an HEI ignition, a nice set of ceramic coated "shorty headers" an edlebrock aluminum intake, and rebuilt Holley 780. I believe the 4 speed is a 70's super T-10. It now has a new clutch assembly, re-conditioned flywheel, and comes with a brand new $300 Hurst Competition Shifter Assembly. The starter and starter wiring are also new. The distributor cap, plugs, and misc hoses were recently installed in order to fire up the motor, which runs strong with open headers, and really needs to have a full exhaust system is installed before this beast is driven.
Body is an extremely solid 1972 with no rust and 5 year old "rat rod" grey paint.
Lots of reconditioned and new parts, including: clutch assembly, flywheel, starter, carpet, rear seat upholstery, "pop-on" dash cover, new head-liner (in box), holly 780 "duel line single pump" carburetor, and brake power booster.
The SS Hood is steel with a 2 1/2" cowl, an SS Steering Wheel has already been installed. Wheels are center-lines, front buckets and new carpet has not yet been permanently installed.
Glass and trim are in excellent condition. The stock power steering unit is on the vehicle, but a serpentine belt system complete with AC compression and power-steering unit also comes with the car (but will require the purchase of a later model water pump).
I've become increasingly unable to finish the work on this beast myself, so someone out there with the ability to finish this project could get a great deal.
Please email any questions to me through ebay, then check my feedback and bid with confidence.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
