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.
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.
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.
The Chevrolet Nova quickly earned a reputation as one of General Motors’ most successful compact performance platforms, offering lightweight construction and endless hot-rodding potential. This 1965 Chevrolet Nova Coupe exemplifies that spirit with a tasteful restomod approach that blends classic styling with upgraded performance. Showing just 927 miles on the odometer, this Nova features a potent 383ci stroker V8 under the hood, paired with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission for an engaging yet comfortable driving experience. Finished in an eye-catching blue exterior over a black interior, it presents as a well-sorted street machine that captures the essence of classic American muscle while incorporating modern enhancements for improved drivability and enjoyment.
The C3 Corvette is one of the most recognizable shapes in American performance history, and the later L82 cars added a stronger performance edge to the dramatic “shark” styling. This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 Coupe shows just 11,856 miles and is finished in Black over a reupholstered Red leather interior. Its enthusiast appeal comes from the 350ci L82 V8, 4-speed manual transmission, removable T-top roof panels, full auxiliary gauge package, and classic rear-wheel-drive layout. With its low indicated mileage, manual gearbox, and reupholstered cabin, this Corvette offers the kind of analog V8 driving experience that defines the C3 generation.
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of a first-generation Camaro and pushes it deep into pro-touring territory with big-block power, a modernized chassis, and a highly customized presentation. Showing just 2,637 miles, this build combines a 502ci V8 roller motor, Richmond 6-speed manual transmission, full frame, four-link coilover suspension, narrowed 9-inch rear end, mini-tubbed rear, and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes. Just as striking as the hardware is the custom paintwork, which pairs a vivid orange body with a black upper section and flowing flame graphics along the rear quarters. It is a bold, enthusiast-focused build that blends classic Camaro proportions with modern performance and show-car detailing.
The fourth-generation Camaro Z28 represents a distinctly ’90s take on the classic muscle-car formula, combining a low-slung F-body shape with LT1 V8 power and rear-wheel drive. This 1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Convertible shows 46,678 miles and is finished in Sebring Silver Metallic over a Black interior with a Black convertible soft top. Its enthusiast appeal comes from the Z28 Performance Package, 5.7-liter LT1 V8, 16-inch “Salad Shooter” wheels, and open-air convertible configuration, while an aftermarket cowl induction hood, aftermarket rear spoiler, and American flag hood graphic give this example a more personalized appearance.
