The Chevrolet Nova, also known as the Chevy II, was the Bowtie's compact car offering in the Sixties and Seventies. Created as a basic, no-nonsense automobile, the Nova ran through four generations from 1962 through 1979. A fifth generation was briefly produced between 1985 and 1988, but it was a rebadged Toyota. This particular example up for sale with us is a first-generation 1962 Chevrolet Nova that's received some significant upgrades by the current owner and has reportedly driven less than 500 miles since then. It's something of a sleeper, going by the upgraded powertrain we will tell you about shortly. So, why not add it to your collection?
This 1962 Chevrolet Nova bears a bright red paint job and sports a set of shiny five-spoke alloy wheels at each corner, wrapped in low-profile rubber. Behind the wheels can be observed disc brakes, which are one of many upgrades. Yet another upgrade that's visible at a glance is the dual exhaust at the rear. However, you'll be glad to know that the head and taillamps remain stock-looking and haven't been replaced with LED units. Ditto the chrome bumpers and badging, which remain stock. The black cabin of this 1962 Chevrolet Nova features leather-trimmed front and rear bench seats, a white cueball-style gear shifter, and a sporty three-spoke steering wheel. The stock instrument cluster is augmented by a Super Pro tachometer mounted directly in the driver's line of sight, while some auxiliary gauges have been added to the center console. There's also a push-button radio and switches for the car's ancillaries. Popping the trunk reveals a load space that's surprisingly accommodating for a compact car and appears in decent condition, too.
Now for the most significant upgrades to this 1962 Chevrolet Nova. Let's start with the engine, which is a 383 Stroker V8 that received a Master rebuilt kit in 2023. That's not all; we've got Holley headers, Roller rockers, Mallory ignition, polished intake and valve covers, stainless steel fuel lines, an electric fuel pump, a serpentine belt set-up, and an aluminum radiator. The transmission is a Turbo 350 unit that sends the upgraded power and torque to the rear wheels, while new brake lines help the upgraded four-wheel disc brakes do their thing. Handling has been enhanced via a coil-over suspension kit as well.
This 1971 Chevrolet Nova Coupe is a fully restored and extensively upgraded street machine that delivers both show-quality presentation and serious performance. Showing just 1,656 miles since completion, this build presents as fresh, dialed-in, and ready to enjoy. Finished in stunning Vista Blue using PPG base/clear, the car has recently been cut, buffed, and polished to a deep, mirror-like shine, further protected by a ceramic coating. The all-steel body—including the aggressive 4-inch cowl hood—is exceptionally straight and clean throughout, including the floors, trunk, and frame. With its combination of low post-build mileage, high-end components, and meticulous restoration, this Nova stands out as a turn-key muscle car with both visual impact and real performance credibility.
The 1970 Chevrolet Nova is one of those cars that perfectly embodies the raw, no-frills spirit of American muscle. Compact, lightweight, and built to perform, it became a favorite among enthusiasts looking for serious performance without the flash of larger muscle cars. This example, showing 97,791 miles, presents as a well-maintained and tastefully upgraded street machine finished in eye-catching Mulsanne Blue with white racing stripes. Powered by a strong 350ci V8 paired with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, it delivers the kind of punch that made Novas legends on both the street and strip. With its combination of classic styling and performance upgrades, this Nova offers an engaging driving experience with timeless appeal.

Up for grabs in Pueblo, Colorado, this is a fine example of what can be done when you stuff a massive V8 into a compact car. Mind you, that’s precisely what Chevy did with the Nova back then, albeit with engines that weren’t quite as madcap as this one. So if you’d like to own a restomod that’s truly a head-turner and a thrill to drive, this 60,000-mile car is ready for you.
The fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro marked the triumphant return of one of America’s most iconic performance nameplates, blending retro-inspired styling with modern muscle car performance. By 2012, the formula had been refined into a compelling mix of V8 power, aggressive looks, and everyday usability, especially in well-equipped 2SS trim. This 2012 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS Convertible RS shows approximately 39,482 miles and presents as a striking example finished in Inferno Orange Metallic over a black leather interior with a matching black soft top. Combining the premium 2SS package, RS appearance enhancements, and open-air motoring, this Camaro delivers classic American muscle with modern convenience and unmistakable road presence.
The C3-generation Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the most iconic eras in American sports car history, instantly recognizable for its dramatic curves, long hood, and unmistakable road presence. By 1977, Chevrolet had refined the formula into a more comfortable grand touring machine while preserving the unmistakable V8-powered character that made the Corvette a household name. This 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, showing approximately 65,005 miles, presents as an appealing example that combines classic styling with thoughtful performance-minded upgrades. Finished in eye-catching Light Blue over a Light Buckskin interior, this Corvette offers far more than stock appeal thanks to a replacement 350ci LT1 V8, upgraded 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission installed in 2023, and a newer dual exhaust system. For buyers seeking a C3 that retains its vintage charm while benefiting from modern drivability enhancements, this Corvette strikes a compelling balance between nostalgia and usability.
The 1967 Chevrolet Impala represented the final year of one of Chevrolet’s most elegant full-size body styles of the decade, combining sweeping proportions with unmistakable American V8 presence. By this point, the Impala had firmly established itself as one of America’s most popular full-size cars, available in everything from comfortable family cruisers to big-block-powered boulevard bruisers. This 1967 Chevrolet Impala Convertible shows approximately 35,353 miles and presents as a beautifully configured open-top cruiser, finished in striking Bolero Red over a Parchment interior with a matching convertible top. With big-block power, upgraded drivability features, and timeless styling, this Impala offers the kind of classic American motoring experience that remains endlessly appealing.
There are custom builds, and then there are machines like this. This 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod shows just 710 miles and represents a complete reimagination of one of the most recognizable economy cars ever built. Far removed from its humble air-cooled origins, this Beetle has been transformed into a full custom hot rod powered by a Chevrolet LT1 V8, riding on a tubular chassis, and engineered with hardware more commonly found in purpose-built performance cars. From its chopped roofline and wide rear stance to its remote-controlled suicide doors and bespoke interior, this is a build created to command attention wherever it goes. The title carries a rebuilt designation noted in title history, which should be fully disclosed, but this vehicle’s appeal lies in its craftsmanship, engineering ambition, and sheer uniqueness rather than originality.
Few cars symbolize the birth of the American pony car quite like the first-generation Ford Mustang.
