1975 Chevrolet Nova Coupe Pro Street W/nos Clean on 2040-cars

If you're looking at this car, then you probably know as much as I do about it.  The car was abandoned in a storage facility, and I ended up with it.  I have a clear title in my name.  

So Here's what I do know:

Someone put a lot of money into this car.  I washed the care and dusted it, it has not been detailed.

Body:
I can find absolutely no rust on this car.  The undercarriage is very clean indicating it has not been driven in bad weather or winter since restoration.  The interior looks to be original with the exception of the gauges and shifter.  There is a small seam coming apart on driver's seat, about 2 inches long - shown in photos.  Overall, very nice condition. Carpet and mats are in very good condition. The trunk is clean, no spare.

The tires are all severely checked and all will need replacing, all hold air but leak.

It appears that something was dropped on the hood and there is paint damage, shown in photos.  Otherwise, paint is good, it isn't a super high-end paint job, but looks good and I think would look great with a professional buffing.

Glass and chrome are both very strong.

Mechanical:
I have no idea what the engine is in this thing, nor how it was built.  It is strong though!  It obviously has a cam, lumpy idle, but streetable. The NOS system has gas in it, but I haven't hit the button, so can't tell you more than that. Auto Trans, no idea what one, has a B&M shifter.

It has a full frame brace underneath and some traction bars.

The engine does seem to have oil pressure on the low side, I'm not familiar with these cars, so not sure, but it sits at about 10psi hot idle, 45psi at 3,000 rpm - it still has the oil in it that I know has been in for at least 4 years, no idea if the gauge is accurate either.  Does not smoke, starts easily and runs great, sounds good, no knocks, etc.

That is about all I know.  

I would not plan to drive this car any distance until tires are replaced and oil and other service performed.  

I do know that someone put a lot of money into this car and has taken car of it.  It will burn rubber as long as you have tire left on the rim, sounds great.

I am listing this car with no reserve because I truly don't know much about it and cannot tell you absolutely its condition.

Thanks for looking.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It 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).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

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.
