This custom Chevrolet Nova Convertible is a no-compromises restomod that blends modern sports-car dynamics with classic muscle-era style. Built around a Ridetech custom chassis and powered by an LS-based V8, it delivers sharp handling, strong acceleration, and everyday comfort in a lightweight platform. Extensive body, interior, and chassis work elevate this Nova well beyond a typical cruiser, resulting in a show-ready build that is equally capable on the road, offering the drivability of a modern performance car with the presence of a fully customized classic.
At a glance, the Marina Blue exterior looks clean and understated, but closer inspection reveals extensive custom metalwork throughout. The body has been fully shaved, with trim, emblems, door handles, trunk lock, and fuel door removed and smoothed, creating a sleek, uninterrupted profile. Doors and trunk operate by remote, the rear wheel openings have been subtly enlarged to accommodate larger wheels, and the color-matched bumpers have been smoothed and tucked tighter to the body. A cowl hood, HID headlights, a discreet front chin spoiler, and a dark blue power convertible top with a chrome-plated frame complete the refined yet aggressive look. Inside, the cabin has been fully gutted and rebuilt with sound deadening, power windows, a smoothed metal dash, Dakota Digital gauges, and neatly integrated air conditioning controls. Procar sport bucket seats, a custom center console, tilt steering column, and a high-end Rockford Fosgate audio system create a modern, comfortable interior while retaining the classic Nova layout.
Under the hood sits a naturally aspirated 5.3-liter LS V8 equipped with aluminum heads, MSD Atomic electronic fuel injection, and headers, producing close to 400 horsepower. Cooling and reliability are addressed with a Be Cool aluminum radiator, dual programmable electric fans, and a clean, smoothed engine bay finished to show quality standards. Power is sent through a Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch and Hurst short-throw shifter to a Strange Engineering Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.73 posi. The custom Ridetech chassis features tubular independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, coilover adjustable shocks, welded-in frame reinforcements, and a four-link rear suspension. Wilwood disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors at all four corners, stainless fuel and brake lines, and a stainless exhaust system with Magnaflow mufflers round out a mechanical package engineered for performance, control, and long-term drivability.

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.
Chevy’s stalwart compact offering of the Sixties and Seventies, the Nova provided solid motoring to the mainstream segment, in a manageable and maneuverable package. It also gave you the choice of an economical four-cylinder powerplant, or a brawny V8 under the hood. Not many compact cars did that, granting the Nova (also called the Chevy II) a rather diverse persona. You could have two Novas side by side – one could be a frugal four-cylinder sedan or station wagon while the other could be a V8-toting coupe. Today’s 1967 Chevrolet Nova II is a two-door coupe and somewhat of a restomod as well. This 383-packing machine has got under 31,000 miles on its odometer and hails from Casper, Wyoming.

Introduced as Chevrolet’s answer to the growing mid-size performance market, the 1966 Chevelle quickly became one of the most versatile and sought-after American muscle cars of its era. This example builds on that legacy with a thoughtfully executed performance-oriented configuration that blends classic styling with modern driving dynamics. Under the hood is a 383ci stroker V8 delivering strong, naturally aspirated power, paired with a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission that adds both driver engagement and long-legged cruising capability. With fewer than 600 miles, this Chevelle offers the presence and sound of a vintage muscle car, combined with the refinement, reliability, and comfort expected from a carefully upgraded build.
