Noteworthy features include a striking 2-inch cowl induction hood and multispoke Budnik Spyder wheels with titanium centers, wrapped in performance-oriented Goodrich Z Pro tires. Inside, the meticulous attention to detail continues with new leather and Alcantara bucket seats, complemented by a Momo Prototipo Black Edition steering wheel and a powder-coated Flaming River steering column. The cabin boasts numerous billet aluminum accents and an aftermarket emergency brake. Dakota Digital gauges, finished in carbon fiber and illuminated in red, keep track of vital engine statistics.

At the heart of this 1962 Chevrolet Nova Sport Coupe lies the impressive 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine, boasting just shy of 13,000 miles of use. Enhancing its performance capabilities are new Sanderson full-length ceramic headers, mated to a fresh 3-inch Flowmaster exhaust system. Taking it a step further, the LS3 engine has been upgraded with a Stage 3 Brian Tooley racing cam for added power. Ensuring optimal engine function is a new Speartech wiring harness, while cooling duties are handled by a black powder-coated Matson dual-fan radiator. Power is efficiently transferred to the rear wheels through a new TKO Tremec 5-speed transmission. The upgrades extend beyond the engine, with significant enhancements to the suspension and brakes. Wilwood brake calipers peek behind the alloy wheels, supported by a Heidts Mustang II front clip with 2" drop spindles and Heidts 4-link subframe connectors. The Nova also boasts new coilovers at all four corners. Rounding out the build are a new 12-gallon trunk-located fuel cell, a fresh power steering unit, and a recently installed starter motor, completing this comprehensive restoration.

The Chevy Nova, or Chevy II as it was also known, was the Bowtie’s contender in the compact car space between 1962 and 1979. It was quite a departure from Chevy’s other offerings that included full-size and midsize cars, plus sports, muscle and pony cars. Nevertheless, the Nova was a best-seller throughout much of the Sixties, since it represented affordable motoring for the masses who didn’t want a land yacht of epic proportions and eye-watering price. Now, the Nova is a great classic car, as well as a fine restomod platform. This particular 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod is a great example of the latter category, as it’s undergone a full restoration and has just 400 miles on its stonking new motor.
Chevy’s Nova was a compact car from the Bowtie, aimed at offering affordable and convenient motoring to the American public who didn’t want or couldn’t afford one of the brand’s larger, sportier or more opulent offerings. The Nova was wildly popular as a result, and can be considered a ‘bread and butter car’. After all, it’s nice to make low-volume, expensive sports and luxury cars, but you want your bread and butter cars to sell in volumes, in order to pay the bills. Today, the Nova has cemented a reputation as a great American classic to own and drive. Need more convincing? Take a look at this 1964 Chevrolet Nova Coupe and you’ll see what we mean. Although we must tell you, this Nova isn’t strictly stock. All information, as reported by the current owner, points to it being quite a performance beast, and a delectable treat to drive.
