Overview of 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a bright shade of yellow that looks just like Tweety Bird’s color, this 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod is a sight for sore eyes. The car’s mean stance and 14x15 chunky rear wheels immediately mark it out as something out of the ordinary. Then, you notice that monster motor poking out of the hood because it just couldn’t be contained within the car’s engine compartment. Yes, this isn’t a car for those who shun attention; on the contrary, it’s a car that will steal the limelight at any car meet or show. The interior of this 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod is similarly attractive, with a black and yellow theme going on. You’ve got leather-upholstered low-back seats, floormats with the Chevy emblem, and a push-button radio in the center console. There are also some auxiliary gauges, plus a tachometer just to the right hand side of the linear-style speedometer. A sporty steering wheel, and a chrome-topped gear shift knob connected to a B&M shifter top off the interior highlights of this car – but those aren’t what most potential buyers will be interested in…

Engine

Now, if you’re looking at this 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod, you’d definitely want to know more about that monster motor. We’ve saved the best for last, as it’s a truly amazing 468ci big-block V8 with twin Holley carbs, an 8.5 to 1 compression ratio, and Bowtie aluminum heads. If that’s not enough, the engine’s got a blower strapped to it for even more power. Power goes to the rear wheels through a 700R4 automatic gearbox and a 10-bolt Chevy rear end. Then, there’s coilover shocks and a ladder bar rear suspension set-up. So strap in, because it’s gonna be one helluva ride.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
