Overview of 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.

1972 Chevrolet Nova

Current Ask
$42,500

This 1972 Chevrolet Nova is the kind of classic that proves you do not need stripes, spoilers, or a big-block badge to have genuine muscle-era appeal. Showing approximately 53,285 miles, it pairs a 307ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic, giving it the easygoing, torque-rich feel of a traditional small-block Chevy cruiser. The custom orange finish gives the car plenty of presence, while Rally-style wheels, factory air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes make the package feel especially usable. It is a clean, straightforward Nova built around the formula enthusiasts still appreciate today: V8 power, rear-wheel drive, simple mechanicals, and unmistakable early-1970s Chevrolet styling.

1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours

Current Ask
$25,500

The 1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours Coupe represents the more refined side of Chevrolet’s compact lineup, and this example stands out even further thanks to its rare Concours package and remarkably low 20,299 miles. Finished in Antique White over a Dark Firethorn interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The Concours treatment brought a much more upscale character to the Nova, with a Dark Firethorn vinyl roof, woodgrain interior trim, additional brightwork, and a comfort-focused cabin that separated it from more basic examples. The seller also reports that the interior still smells like new, a detail that speaks to just how unusually preserved the cabin feels. With its low mileage, rare Concours specification, V8 power, and distinctively 1970s luxury-oriented presentation, this Nova offers a particularly interesting blend of originality, comfort, and classic Chevrolet character.

This 1972 Chevrolet El Camino is exactly the kind of machine that blurs the line between muscle car and utility vehicle in the best possible way. Showing approximately 11,474 miles, it pairs unmistakable A-body-era Chevrolet styling with a 350ci V8, 4-speed manual transmission, custom paint, and a collection of period-minded performance upgrades. The El Camino has always had a cult following because it gives you the long-hood, rear-drive attitude of a classic Chevelle with the added usefulness of a pickup bed, and this example leans into that personality with aftermarket Rally wheels, MSD ignition, headers, and a driver-focused cabin.

2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 2LT Z51

Current Ask
$91,999

This 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 2LT Z51 is especially compelling for one simple reason: it shows just 790 miles. That exceptionally low mileage is paired with one of the strongest early-C8 configurations, combining Blade Silver Metallic paint, an Adrenaline Red interior, the Z51 Performance Package, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, front lift with memory, performance exhaust, and the Engine Appearance Package. Carbon Flash Metallic full-length dual racing stripes and bright red brake calipers add even more visual impact, making this a highly optioned and remarkably low-mile example of the first model year for the mid-engine Corvette.
