Extremely rare and awesome little car! Although it bears little resemblance to the Nova muscle cars of the previous decades, the 1980s Nova was pretty righteous in its own regard. Built at NUMMI, the joint venture between GM and Toyota, this car has more than a little Toyota Corolla in its DNA. In fact, some people even mod them to be a Corolla (not sure how you explain that to the DMV!).
This particular Nova is special. From 1986-2012, it was owned by one man, a lawyer named Terry who didn't drive it much. He maintained it well, and kept all the records. Finally, he was ready to sell it, and in a small miracle, he put on Craigslist right as we desperately needed a car but couldn't use our credit because we were in the middle of buying a house. We bought the car, and loved it. We fixed the rust spots and the little quirks that Terry hadn't know how to fix. We even named it Terry in honor of the first owner. It got us everywhere we needed to go, and got better gas mileage than a Prius. We dreamed of aftermarket embellishments (a targa roof? why not?), and expected many years to come--after all, it only had 80K miles, and no onboard computers to go bad.
Then, one terrible night in late December, Terry died on the highway and had to be towed home (the car, not the lawyer). We've tried everything we can afford to fix him, but it appears only a distributor can bring him back to life. We cannot afford to put more money into him, so we've made the painful choice to sell this cool, rare car. Is there someone out there who loves NUMMI Novas and/or Corollas? Do you need parts, or can you put a little money in to getting this car going again? We think Terry deserves better than the scrapyard. Feel free to ask us any questions.
PS. Terry the car comes with the dossier of receipts and maintenance records from Terry the lawyer.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
