1972 Chevrolet Nova With A 454 on 2040-cars
Senatobia, Mississippi, United States
|
Up for auction is a Really Nice 1972 Nova w/ 454. I’m listing this 1972 Nova for a friend of mine and it is a clean one. It is a very nice driver (not a trailer queen) and has limited flaws inside and out. I’ll reveal everything I see and will reply to any emails or phone messages as quickly as I can. This Nova is a very reliable & smooth running, I think you’ll be pleased with it and it’s priced very reasonably. Feel free to call 662-560-4609 and leave a message if I don’t pick up or drop me a note through Ebay. The owner has a Clear Title. I will start with the outside. First of all, I don’t see any rust on this car, underneath or on the outside. The car does have a few small paint chips but nothing large, and the owner has a small bottle of touch up paint. The doors close firmly and may be in need of a pin and/or a slight alignment to match up to the quarters (see pic). The rear quarters have been replaced. The paint color code is Radiant Red #756 (feel free to look it up in case the pictures may or may not show up correctly). It has a nice paint job, again not a showroom finish but very clean. The body is in good condition, straight and solid. The front lower valance (just below the grill) has a crack see pic). The glass is also clean (windshield, rear window and sides). The rear windows do roll down partially (the driver side rear window needs assistance on the way up) and the doors are equipped with Power Windows (they work great, the ignition doesn’t need to be on either to power up or down). The headlights are currently not working but will be (a horn was recently installed and I’m thinking they disconnected the headlights somehow), the parking lights, side lights, brake & turn signal lights all work. The reverse lights do not work (these will require a switch connected to the shifter). The wipers do work. The hood is set up with a forward tilt Corvette style mechanism and is easy to mange. The cowl hood is a nice touch, looks really sharp and has the only emblems on the car “454”. The owner does have the original hood, this will go with the car. Trunk pan and floor boards are clean (the trunk has a different style carpet in it, not the factory mat – see pic). I am not certain of the wheel manufacturer, but they 14” rims. The tires are P195/70R14 on the front (new) with a recent alignment, and P205/75R14. Spare tire in the trunk w/ matching rim. Now for the interior: Black interior and shows nicely but needs a little attention, nothing urgent and I’ll note those later. There is after market tach installed in the instrument cluster (right side of the speedometer). The gauges all work and there are 3 extra gauges mounted below (Volt, Oil Pressure and Water Temp). The dash pad is in good shape, a small tear on the driver side, down low. There’s a vent missing on the passenger side. The carpet, back seat, door panels, dash, rear deck sail panel are all in good condition. Headliner is new and the driver side sail panel needs replaced. Panasonic stereo/CD with 6” x 9” speakers. The front seat is in good shape but when you sit down you can see a seam that’s coming apart, may need to be re-sewn or recovered. Drive train consists of a 454 w/ Rocker Rollers and a mild cam. It starts easily and has a very nice thump to it. Very clean under the hood w/ several chrome components. Automatic Turbo 400 transmission & shifts hard. Some recently added items are new valve cover gaskets, alternator, transmission pan gasket & cooling lines to the radiator, B&M floor shifter, new 3.45 ratio rear-end, anti-sway bars (front & rear, all chrome) and modified suspension, new fuel tank, 4 wheel manual disk brakes w/ front hoses from calipers to frame rails. The Nova also has headers w/ dual 2 1/2 inch exhaust with flow masters, all in great condition (the headers could use a new coating). The car really sounds nice. Chrome drive line and lower control arms. Battery is mounted in the trunk and has a quick disconnect lever. This is a very nice Nova and a reliable driver. While there are a few things missing or needing attention, they are small and won’t keep you from getting in it and driving off. I have driven it and it runs strong and drives nicely. The current owner has had this car for over a year, made some nice improvements and is ready to move onto another project. We do not know the specifics on the engine but I can tell you it sounds good and runs well. This is a non-A/C & non-power steering car. Again, give me a call @ 662-560-4609 or send me Ebay emails and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. The owner does have this car for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction if the reserve hasn’t been met. This is priced to sell compared to other Nova’s I’ve seen, so I believe you will be pleased with this one. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. On May-08-14 at 20:13:01 PDT, seller added the following information: OK, I heard from 3 Nova experts advising that even though this is a 1972 Nova front end, doors, VIN & title, the rear body of the car is a '73 / '74 series. If you compare the rear side windows between the '72 & others, you can see a distinct shape. Apparently this body swap is somewhat common and doesn't take away from the car and that it's a very nice driver. So thanks to the 3 Nova experts, however I wanted to disclose this and not hide anything about the car. My picture of the Nova with the hood up didn't load, so I'll be happy to send via email. Thanks again for looking and call with any questions. |

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
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.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
