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.
