1969 Chevrolet Nova SS Car has never been on a drag strip, It has only been a street toy that I've taken to the local car shows. VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TPZZHGexP4 Hit the buy it now and I'll throw in a Gopro camera with mounts and remote!!!!!!!
This 69 Nova has been a very fun part of my life but its now time for it to be sold. I have decided to move on to another project and I am out of room, so this car has to go. It's "not" a real Super Sport Nova It just has the emblems. It started life as a 6 cylinder power glide car plain jane. The car's body is very low mileage. When I had the title put in my name, the state of ohio required a vehicle inspection and since the car has aftermarket gauges and didn't show original mileage, now the title show's odometer discrepancy. NOW ON TO THE GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!! Its a nice car, it has original floor boards, original trunk pan, original doors, It had the quarters and fenders replaced, It has Detroit Speed mini tub kit installed, professional installation. Very nice! looks like stock inner wheel wells. It has a Monsterous Merlin BIG BLOCK 540 and it is the meanest street car that I know of in my area. It's 850+ horsepower and the car hooks up surprisingly well on the street with the current Mickey Thompson drag radials. It will put a smile on your face every time you drive it!!!!! Here's a list of goodies on the car..... Engine 540 Merlin -(Engine is 5 years old and was only driven 3-4 times per year) 540 Merlin pro-mod block, billet mains, 4340 rotating assembly, very nice cloyes timing set with easy access billet timing cover, Fluidamper, Jegs deep oil pan, Melling racing oil pump, Top notch machine work and balancing.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
