1966 Chevy Nova 4 Door with a body on restoration. Yes it is a restored starting life as an original 283 V8 4 door. The car originally started its life as a 283 Automatic with the upper trim package for a Chevy 2. I purchased the car mostly restored needing some minor assembly and detail work. The car has a very nice repaint to its original Willow Green.  The 350 is a 71 dated motor with a rebuild mated up to a 86 4 speed removed from an 86 Camaro. This Nova runs and drives great. It makes a great beach surf cruiser. Has 15x7 rally wheels with original center caps and new rings. The tires are NEW BF Goodrich 225 front and 245 rear 60 15's. This Nova has new suspension bushings, Shocks, Performance exhaust, Interior (original uncracked dash pad), Paint, Rebuilt Motor (Modern Distributor ignition system) and trans, New brakes and brake lines, New tinted windshield and gasket, LED Headlights with daytime led lights, All new locks keyed alike including the glove box door, Tach and Guage package, Corvett Steering Wheel with Leather wrap. Car has approximately 500 miles on her since she was finished. Everything works with the exception of AM Radio, Horn works but not hooked up with the Corvette steering wheel, Speedometer, cable is included but not installed, Windshield wiper blades are included but not installed (I prefer the no wiper arm look). Wiper switch works in both positions. The windshield washer hoses are not hooked up in the engine compartment. Detailed trunk.

Body: This Nova has all its original sheet metal except the front LH fender appears to have been replaced at some point. All doors and trunk open and shut smoothly. The windows all roll up and down smoothly. It is solid in the back and trunk. Lower quarters and rockers are original and in great condition with no rust. It has a very solid engine compartment all the way back to the cowl. No rust around the cowl or windows. The inside where the front door hinges are is is a typical rust area but there is no rust at all. The inside of the doors and door openings to the body were not re painted and are original paint. No rust showing at all. showing some rust. The underside of the trunk lid is original paint solid as well. No rust in the seams at all. The body is not saging and all doors line up nicely. The doors are solid with no rust in the seams at all. The grille is nice and the trim is in good overall shape. Bumpers have nice chrome with a few dings and 1 dent in rear LH side of Bumper. This was the next thing I was going to do. Either have these rechromed or buy a new pair. All trim comes on or with the car. The lower rocker and side trim is off the car. I painted the bottom black and used a tape stripe in place of putting the original pieces back on. I like this look better. The trim pieces are in nice original condition with normal wear and come with the car.

Interior and Compartment: The interior is Completely redone. The seats recovered in with cloth inserts. There is a new headliner. The carpet is new and done in black. Looks great. New Door panels and arm rests. The front door handles were reversed, so opening the door is down instead of up. All dash lights and guages work except the speedometer is not hooked up. Cable included. The dome light comes on and turns on with the headlight switch. Even the cigarette lighter works. Heater and fan switches work great. Heater works excellent. The kick panel vents operate properly. The only area that could uses a little better attention is the windlace that goes around the interior door frames. I was going to replace it with new windlace. it is very inexpensive and would make for e a nicer detail. The e Brake works. I have a new handle to install. I also ordered a new set of Visors and visor brackets as the originals did not come with the car. They will be installed before the car is sold. The steering wheel is off a 69 Corvette and has been covered with a leather wrap. The seat belts are aftermarket. The fronts are shoulder harneses but I have not hooked up the shoulder belt yet. I will leave that to the new owner to decide it they want to or not.

Trunk: The trunk is in great condition with no rust. It has the original jack assembly. There is a spare but not sure if the wheel is original or not.

Underside: The subframe, front inner fenders, rear wheel wells and trunk area are solid with no rust at all. As well as the subframe rails. It looks like the rear may have an undercoating spryed on at some point. New suspension bushings and shocks.

Engine: Runs strong with no noises. No leaks. YES NO leaks. Rare for a Chevy 350. It sounds like it may have a very mild cam. The intake is an Edlebrock and the carb is an Edlebrock as well with an electric choke. The choke is not working and maybe not hooked up. I haven't messed with it as the car starts easy and idles smooth when cold and warm. The radiator is a date coded Harrison out of a 66 327 Nova. It is a 4 core. The top has a dent on it from when I had it shipped to me. It works fine and can be easily fixed by a radiator shop if desired. Has a great sounding performance exhaust new from exhaust manifolds to rear exit. There are provisions at the front of the pipes to uncork the exhaust is desired. Also new Battery and Cables.

Trans: This is a 4 speed out of an 86 Camaro. Shifts great and the clutch is solid. The hump was added as this was originally a column shif automatic. The pedals are out of an original manual trans 66 Nova. The shifter is a 442 handle. The handle is close to the seat and hits when in 4th gear but works fine. This shifter is probably woth a lot of money. I was going to sell it and add a shift handle thet sat mor forward. Your choice.

I will be more than happy to show the Nova or take some more pictures of specific areas if needed.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The 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.
