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.
On the outside, this gold-painted 1964 Chevrolet Nova Coupe doesn’t betray its performance mechanicals. You’ll find it largely retains its period ʼ60s fittings, and rolls on a set of stainless steel Baby Moon wheels. The wheels are wrapped in new tires as well, which is another great thing since you know that you’ve got fresh rubber and optimal grip at your disposal. The interior of this 1964 Chevrolet Nova Coupe is where we start to get a few hints of the car’s performance persona. The tan interior largely remains stock as well, with front plus rear bench seats, a two-spoke period-correct steering wheel, the original gauge pack, and some auxiliary gauges. These aren’t uncommon for classic cars since you want to monitor their health and performance as comprehensively as possible. What gives you an insight into this car’s performance persona is the lack of a radio and air conditioning. Omitting these two items is a sure-fire tell-tale sign for those who know.
Now for the tasty bits of this 1964 Chevrolet Nova Coupe. There’s a rebuilt 350ci V8 that’s been stroked to 383ci and has done just 9,000 miles since its rebuild. Then, we’ve got a manual fuel pump, aftermarket headers, a Holley 670 carburetor and MSD ignition coil kit. All this refreshed power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie 4-speed manual gearbox and a 9-inch rear end with 3.73 Positrac. There’s even an aluminum radiator for optimal engine cooling. Hey, we did say that this car wasn’t what it appeared to be on the surface.

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 1935 Chevrolet Tudor Sedan has been thoughtfully transformed into a modern street rod while preserving the timeless character of Chevrolet’s pre-war design. Originally produced during a period when streamlined styling and improved engineering were redefining American automobiles, the 1935 Chevrolet featured graceful fender lines, a tall chrome grille, and elegant proportions. This example retains its all-original steel body but benefits from extensive mechanical and cosmetic upgrades, creating a classic cruiser that combines vintage style with contemporary performance. Finished in a gray and silver exterior with red pinstriping, this Tudor sedan blends traditional hot rod aesthetics with modern reliability and comfort.
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?
Here’s a chance that’s not very likely to come every day. This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R could be yours if you’d like to own one of the Eighties and Nineties JDM cult heroes that most petrolheads lust after in their dreams. This heavily-modified car packs an RB26 single-turbo built motor, a sleek black outlook and under 62,000 miles on the clock. Coming from the fine R32 generation, it’s also got a very distinctive shape to its two-door coupe body. Don’t worry about this car being right-hand drive; you’ll quicky get used to it.
Ford’s famous Mustang Mach 1 is a highly revered American classic today. That’s why when cars like this bright red 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 from San Jose come on sale, they don’t stay around for long. The Mach 1 was not only a performance package, as the name might suggest, but offered some appearance upgrades too. Only available as a fastback (known s the SportsRoof), cars like this 92,000-mile example struck fear into those with lesser machines at the track or drag strip. Now, this car can be yours and rest assured, it hasn’t lost any of its awesomeness. It might get gapped by today’s trick EVs, but when you’ve got the rumble of an H-code Cleveland for company, nothing else matters.
The Fox-body Mustang remains one of the most influential performance cars in American automotive history, and this 1988 Ford Mustang GT Hatchback represents a heavily upgraded example of the platform. Known for its lightweight chassis and highly tunable 5.0-liter V8, the Fox Mustang became a staple in the performance community throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. This particular car has been extensively modified with serious performance hardware, including forged engine internals and a Vortech VS-1 supercharger producing approximately 13 pounds of boost. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, replacing the factory automatic setup. The odometer currently shows 9,999 miles, although the true mileage is unknown. With upgraded drivetrain components, suspension improvements, and modern cooling and braking systems, this Mustang offers the classic Fox-body experience combined with significantly enhanced performance.
