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.
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.
The 1970 Chevrolet Nova has built itself a reputation as one of the most accessible and easily customized muscle cars of its era. It has a loyal fan base.

Our featured car manages to preserve much of its originality. The owner reports that this 1970 Chevrolet Nova has all its original sheet metal. It features a new V8 engine has also been rebuilt and rebored to 380ci. If you like what you see, get in touch to make this muscle car yours to take home.
The sixth generation or C6 Corvette arrived for the 2005 model year, and while it dropped the pop-up headlamps of the fifth generation or C5, it more than compensated for them in other areas. The Corvette gained more power, performance, and luxury features. Plus, the Z06 variant came with the largest small block V8 engine ever produced at the time: a mega 7.0-liter beast. If that’s your sort of thrill, check out this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 that’s for sale with us right now. This Idaho-based car is reportedly up-to-date on servicing and comes with the Preferred Equipment Group. But what’s more amazing is it packs an STS twin-turbo system, making the car even more exciting to drive.
This 1973 Chevrolet Camaro is a fully restored classic muscle car featuring a modified 350ci engine and a 3-speed automatic transmission. According to the current owner, the vehicle has undergone a complete restoration, including a new Dark Red Metallic paint job completed in 2020. This Camaro has reportedly been upgraded with a new shifter, headers, and an aftermarket dual exhaust system, enhancing its driving experience. The current owner also states that the vehicle retains its original 85,000-mile engine while benefiting from new carburetor components, a fresh oil change, and new tires.

The Chevy 210 had a relatively short life, made between 1953 and 1957 before being superseded by the Biscayne. The 210 represented Chevy’s midrange offering, and was offered in various body styles. Buyers could select between sedans, hardtops, coupes, convertibles and wagons. Despite the short production run, Chevy actually made two generations of 210. This particular 1955 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Sedan is a second-generation two-door coupe that’s received a thorough makeover. Residing in Orlando, Florida, it’s the perfect classic car with some modern features for someone who isn’t quite ready to go full classic just yet.

The second-generation Chevy Corvette is renowned for many things. Debuting in 1963 with a neat split rear window, this design feature was axed for 1964 because it impeded rearward visibility. The second-gen ‘Vette also introduced features such as boat-tailed styling, pop-up headlamps, and the Stingray badge. That’s why cars such as this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette L84 Fuelie are highly sought after by collectors. This car is said to be an all numbers matching example with 35,375 miles on the clock, thus making it a great classic car to buy and keep for many years. Of course, you shouldn’t mothball it either; take it for a spin every now and then and experience the greatness of America’s most popular sports car.
