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.

The Chevrolet Nova II, or Chevy II line-up was created in 1962, as a compact automobile. Chevy knew that not everyone wanted full-size or midsize cars, and as a result, the the Nova sold really well throughout its five generations of existence. Naturally, first-generation Novas, like this 1963 Chevrolet Nova II 4-Door Sedan from Liberty, New Jersey, are great collector cars. They’re slowly creeping up in value as more and more eager classic car collectors shift their attention towards the more workmanlike American cars from the Sixties and Seventies. After all, it’s entirely possible that this 75,000-mile sedan was a stalwart family car back in its day, with its 238ci V8 and Powerglide automatic transmission. Now, it makes for a fine catch if you’re classic car fishing.
Chevrolet’s Chevy II or Nova was a compact car that was made between 1961 and 1988. It aimed to offer a more maneuverable package for those who didn’t want a large automobile, but kept some performance credentials via hot variants. Yes, you could have your Nova with a V8 if you desired. Today’s 1963 Chevrolet Nova Pro Touring Restomod is a nice restomod that’s been extensively built. Residing in Pacifica, California, this 2,394-mile machine packs a 5.3-liter LS V8, a custom Ridetech chassis, a Tremec 5-speed manual box and many more things. Let us tell you more about this truly one of a kind build, and if you’d like to own it, you know who to call.
The Chevy II or Chevrolet Nova was a compact, and later subcompact car made by General Motors between 1961 and 1988. It offered a more manageable and maneuverable choice as opposed to the massive full-size cars that were available, as well as the still sizable midsize contenders. It’s no surprise that not everyone wanted a land yacht, after all. Those living in smaller towns or rapidly developing urban centers preferred cars that were easier to move around in. However, that didn’t stop the Nova from gaining some of the sportiness that its bigger brethren possessed. One such example of a sporting Nova was the Yenko Nova. These were Novas that received special attention by renowned racer and tuner Don Yenko. These cars saw big blocks shoe-horned into their compact engine bays, beefed up suspension to handle the extra weight (and performance of course) and some more improvements to help them challenge (and often triumph over) the muscle and pony cars that ruled the streets. Original Yenko Novas are scant, with just 37 units reportedly produced. Thankfully, replicas like this 1972 Chevrolet Nova Yenko Tribute can give you a slice of that Yenko Nova experience. This particular car comes from Illinois with a mere 11,512 miles on the clock. Oh, and it’s got a Big Block, naturally.
This 1973 Chevrolet Cheyenne C20 Super Pickup isn’t your typical third-gen C/K Series classic pickup truck. It may have the stock 454ci V8 under the hood, which was the largest gas engine available for this era, but there’s a host of mods to make it a beast. These include aftermarket lifters, rockers, pushrod, exhaust, and more. With a nice coat of black paint and some aftermarket wheels, this truck even includes a banging stereo system for those tailgate parties, on the trails, or in town. It’s currently up for grabs in Castle Rock, Washington, with under 35,000 miles to its name. Don’t delay if you’re interested; many others will be too.
This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, in all its orange glory, comes from an era of resilience. The C3 or third-gen ‘Vette is the longest-running of them all, with a fourteen-year production run between 1968 and 1982. Cars like this one are historically significant because they weathered the most dreaded time in American auto history; the Malaise Era. Even during those times, the Corvette was still the fastest American car available. Now, you can see why, when you take a closer look at this 24,000-mile machine from Island Lake, Illinois. It’s a survivor, a stunning looker, and above all, never compromised on engines by always having a V8 beneath the hood. So why not buy this beautiful boulevard cruiser and stick it to today’s soulless EVs?
Eight generations of Corvette are available right now, and we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted examples from all eight of them. Today’s 2010 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Convertible comes from the sixth generation, called the C6. It’s a fine, V8-powered drop-top from Cabot, Arkansas and comes with just 8,795 miles on the clock. Plus, it’s got the owners manual included with the sale, as well as both keys. Oh, and did we say it’s rear wheel drive and packing a stick shift? Yup, this might as well be driving nirvana, wrapped up in a white package and containing red leather on the inside.
One of the shortest-lived nameplates in Buick history has got to be the Invicta. In fact, this full-size offering packed in two generations within just five years. The first generation ran for 1959 and 1960, while the second was made from 1961 to 1963. Given the car’s short production run, it’s no surprise that the market isn’t awash with examples. Thankfully, we have this 53,667-mile 1959 Buick Invicta for sale today. With its 401ci V8 and automatic gearbox, this Miami-based classic is the perfect choice for someone seeking an unconventional automobile to cherish, and of course, drive.

Cadillac may be best known for their massively opulent land yachts that really pushed the boundaries of full-size cars, but did you know that they had smaller options? In fact, they still do. Between 1976 and 2004, their midsize luxury car was the Seville. Named after a Spanish province renowned for art and architecture, today’s 1985 Cadillac Seville comes from the second generation of the nameplate. It’s got only 13,272 miles on its 4.1-liter throttle body injected V8, and features a four-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, the car is front-wheel drive, as was typical back in the day. If you’d like to acquire this rather interesting piece of Eighties Americana, it’s currently up for grabs in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
