The Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova lineup would see the light of day in 1961 and go on until 1979. It's a well-remembered nameplate in the United States, as it fiercely fought within the competitive compact car segment. This 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS is an excellent reminder of what the typical family man may have lusted after in the Sixties. Furthermore, this 85,000-mile car, which is reportedly an original SS, has undergone four years of restoration to bring it to the shape that you see in our photos. Some photos of the restoration process are available to see as per the current owner.
This red stunner of a 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS wears new red paint and rolls on a set of aftermarket alloy wheels. There's original SS badging throughout the car, and everything else, such as lighting and chrome work, shows off a similarly pristine outlook. The car also wears 327 badging that's partially but not fully reflective of the powertrain under the hood; we'll get into that in just a few moments. The black interior is similarly good-looking, thanks to the restoration. We're told that the seats were reportedly recovered during the restoration. There's no air conditioning, heater, or radio, so you're left to fit those on your own, should you desire. Else, you can keep this 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS as spartan as you wish and let the pure thrill of driving be all the stimulation and comfort necessary.
This 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS has a V8 with the bottom end from a 350ci unit and the top end from a 327ci V8, hence the reason we called the 327ci badging along the car to be partially but not fully accurate. The drive is sent to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission that was reportedly rebuilt in 2020. There are disc brakes on the front wheels, while drums handle braking duties at the rear. All in all, you should be in for quite a classic experience when driving this 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS home.
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.
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.
The 1961 Chevrolet Impala is one of the most recognizable early-60s American coupes, known for its sweeping side trim, quad headlights, and jet-age design language. This example has been transformed into an LS-swapped restomod while retaining much of its original character inside and out. Finished in green with a white interior, the car features a recently installed LS1 V8 with approximately 94,601 miles on the engine. The firewall has been painted in candy apple red, highlighting the custom drivetrain installation, though the exterior paintwork remains unfinished and the seller has noted a quarter panel issue pending further documentation. Sitting on 22-inch wheels, this Impala blends classic styling with modern performance, presenting as a partially completed project with strong mechanical foundations.
Now here’s one of the hottest American cars you can get your mitts on. This 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 1LT comes from the C8, or eighth generation of Chevy’s popular Corvette grand tourer. It’s got a lovely 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 behind the passenger cabin to move it with remarkable swiftness. Wait, did we say behind the passenger cabin? Yes, for the C8, Chevy really moved things around, going for that mid-engined, supercar-fighting stance that takes the Corvette from greatness to uber greatness. You can have your very own example of that uber greatness right now if you buy this 46,133-mile car from its current owner in Marston, Missouri. The car also comes with the Performance Exhaust option, Carbon Flash painted aluminum wheels, and more.

Finished in Bolero Red with a black vinyl top and black bucket seat interior, this Chevelle retains its unmistakable Super Sport presence while benefiting from serious mechanical upgrades. Showing 51,859 miles on the odometer, it blends classic styling with modern drivability thanks to a 502ci big block, overdrive transmission, upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a high-end audio system. It delivers the look and nostalgia of a true ’67 SS with performance and reliability that far exceed factory specifications.

Arguably the most popular Mercedes-Benz model in the United States during the Seventies and Eighties, The R107 era of their SL-Class grand tourer saw over 204,000 units find homes. This was during an 18-year production run that spanned 1971 to 1989. Impressive as the figure may be for a luxury car, it’s even more admirable when you consider that just over 300,000 were made in total! In fact, more R107 SLs found homes Stateside than they did in Germany or anywhere else in the world. Today, there’s no shortage of fine examples, thanks to the car’s superb Mercedes-Benz build quality. Hence, this Texas-based 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a rather sensible purchase to make, even if you have no idea about classic cars. With its 5.6-liter V8, 4-speed automatic gearbox and aftermarket Kenwood stereo unit, it’s a sound choice. Don’t worry about the 142,000 miles on the odometer, these cars are built to go the distance if maintained well.
The 80s brought about a massive change in the automotive world; it was a seismic shift in terms of customer taste and what manufacturers brought to the table. While the 70s were a nice era for the car in general, the 80s would transform into a whole lot of synth and digital. The “Z” by Nissan was one of those machines that helped shape the 80s. Feast your eyes on the 80s in motion and get behind the wheel of this 1986 Nissan 300ZX we have today. Hailing from Palm Coast, Florida, and with just 79,035 miles on its clock, this '80s beauty is the perfect weekend drive and even serves as the foundation for a high-performance build.
