1969 Nova Super Sport Big Block 4 speed. This car was restored as close as possible to duplicate the classic 396/375HP Nova Super Sport. All work was completed In 2004 and according to the previous owner won it's class at the Detroit Autorama show that year. It has been on the road for the last 9 years and has a couple of chips here and there but overall the paint is in great shape as is the pinstriping. Repainted according to the cowl tag it was done in the original Turquoise Blue. It has a code dated 396 Big Block (Code CLR) 375HP solid lifter motor. The motor is not stock as you can see from the pictures. It has a complete Crane roller rocker setup and girdle. I have not been in the bottom end of the motor but based on the way she runs it is evident that whoever built the car built it for one thing and one thing only - to eat up unsuspecting Hemi's and other high performance cars of that era. She is extremely fast and NOT for the novice or kid who wants daddy to buy him a toy. I've had muscle cars my entire life and this one is scary fast even with the change to 3:42's. With a bone stock look under the hood is a built big bock with a Holley 750 double pumper, headers, Crane cam and electronic ignition. It's attached to a close ratio Muncie M21 Rock Crusher 4 speed with Hurst shifter and a hooker headers and a complete Flowmaster exhaust.. There is a full scattershield and driveshaft loop for safety. Frame connectors from the front subframe to the rear leaf spring mount make the frame super rigid and solid. Multi leaf springs with traction bars hold the rear end which is a GM 12 bolt with a new 3:42 posi which replaced the originally installed 4:11's which was great for drag racing but not suitable for the street.in my opinion. Up front are disc brakes and heavy duty Big Block springs and shocks. The overall drivetrain is solid, fast and good looking too. Under the hood you will find chrome oil pan, timing cover, most brackets, alternator, fan shroud and even the hood hinges. The interior is bone stock with the only blemish being a small 1" tear in the front seat. An AM/FM CD sits where the original radio was located. All seat belts, optional shoulder harness and new carpet make up the rest of the interior. The exterior sheet metal on this car is laser straight and original. All seams between fenders, doors and body are perfect. You can see a lot of time went into the final assembly and build of this beauty. There are 2 small repairs on the floorpans about 4" x 8" which was done in 2004 during the restoration. Other than that the entire undercarriage is original and solid front to back. Ne BF Goodrich 15" radials sit on original super sport rims with perfect trim rings and beauty caps. She runs like a dream and is great on the highway, She stops on a dime and Power steering makes her easy to drive, With plenty of power under the hood and the close ratio 4 speed transmission it makes her a blast to drive and a head turner wherever you go. The bone stock look is deceiving with the only clue as to whats in it being the 396 badges in the front fenders. Fun to drive. Thumbs up from everyone who see's her. Runs like a rocket and needs a new home with someone who likes to clean and show her off to take over! Low Reserve on this great example of classic American Muscle. Happy bidding and Happy driving to the new owner whomever that may be!

Please remember - this is not a toy - it is s very fast vehicle and in the hands of an inexperienced driver there may be issues keeping the car under control. On the other hand, If you have been to the drag strip with any older high performance vehicle your gonna love this baby. Comes out of the hole straight as an arrow. Second gear can be scary. Third and your gone! lol Tons of fun!!!

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
