1966 Nova Wagon that i have owned for many years and has seen many different looks.

This has been a 3 year project with the help of 2 great friends that are mechanical genius and master auto painter.
The nova was original brownish gold, then went to a white and then decided this car needed a ground up since Wagons have become so popular. Decided to paint it 2005 Chevrolet SSR Aqua Blur, a beautiful blue that changes color in the sun...a translucent paint.  

Everything on this car is either new or rebuilt..no short cuts taken. Car was taken down to a shell and was painted as if it came from the factory this color...interior and dash also.

Nova has power steering, power disc brakes, FACTORY AIR and power windows.
  1. Paint is 2 stage paint using only PPG paint and Clear. The clear coat is the better clear that helps block the ultra violent sun rays...both about 500.00 a gallon and there is about 3 gallons each on this car.
  2. Motor is a 383 stroker with 525 hp.
  3. Flaming Rivers front rack,tilt collum and steering wheel.
  4. Wheels are Weld 15x6 front-15x12 rear..with Hoosier Tires front and rear.
  5. Ford 9in rear with 410 gears and posi-tract.
  6. Chevy 350 turbo with B&M Shifter.
  7. Interior is all new, everything.
The list could go on and on, just some of the nice details about the car.
I do have most receipts for the build and lots of pics.

The body is laser straight and of course no dents or dings....perfect alignment of body panels and all doors open and close as they should...Paint is a 91/2 +..would give a 10 but have found 2 imperfections..small but there. Very fine small scratch on tailgate, very hard to see..easy fix and one spot on the fender, very small and you have to look to find it. I am very anal about my cars so i might be a tad picky.

The motor was custom built, it is all forged, alum heads and used nothing but the best in building this motor.

This car has custom made tinted side and tailgate glass that matches the color of the car. It is legal in all states and has the sticker in the corner of all glass. It is real glass not a tint job with film. I do have the original glass that comes with the car. 

Hard to describe what all has been done to the car, but i used nothing but new parts and if you ever did a ground up you know what i mean and what is cost to build a car. I hate to admit but with the cost of the car included i have over 55k invested and there are always more things i could do but had to stop..lol

I am a retired truck driver and cars are my passion, car was built to drive and have fun at local car shows. Car has never been abused, never raced and my wife will tell you they get better attention than her..lol

I will look at trades but you pay the cost both ways.  62-65 nova, 48 anglia , late 50's Cadillac, ssr or corvair spyder.

If you have questions feel free to write, i have left tons of stuff out. If your looking for a clean ,straight Nova that will perform with the best of them and want a great show car or just for cruzin this is her.

Full payment expected with in 7 days of auction close, $2000.00 with in 24 hrs of auction end by pay pal.

Forgot to add that it does come with a ton of extra parts, most all of the original parts i took off, original bumpers, extra hood, new stock radiator, new complete set of brake lines, all the original glass and tons of other stuff.

Thanks again.


On Feb-09-13 at 19:25:38 PST, seller added the following information:

4900 1966 nova wagons were V8's...this was originally a true v8 wagon when new. This also is the deluxe just had more trim that the regular 6cyl wagon..Tailgate window crank has been removed, tailgate glass is powered also.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
