The Chevrolet Nova was initially known as a compact economy car. But thanks to its light weight and impressive performance (when spec’d with a V8), the Nova soon became notorious in the hot-rodding community. Today, the Chevy II/Nova has become an icon in the tuning fraternity thanks to an abundance of aftermarket parts and a wealth of knowledge. It seems the sky is the limit for some of these impressive builds, and the car featured here is no exception. This 1969 Chevrolet Nova features an impressive spec list that includes a bored-out V8 engine with high-compression pistons, a swapped manual transmission, and a rather eye-catching exterior, complete with unique graphics.
One look at this 1969 Chevrolet Nova, and you know it means business, thanks to its traditional drag-car stance. The red paintwork is complemented by yellow and white stripes on the lower rear, while a custom painted chequered flag dominates the rear half of the body. To necessitate the installation of the wide-profile Hoosier rear tires, the car has been tubbed. The drag-car stance is accentuated by smaller front tires and a large power bulge for the hood. Inside, you’ll find a roll cage for safety and a black interior, complete with bucket seats. For ease of use, the driver’s seat features electric adjustment, while the passenger side is manual. In the interests of weight saving, there is no rear seat. You’ll find an AutoMeter RPM gauge mounted near the shifter, while ahead of the driver you’ll find two gauges from Summit Racing monitoring oil pressure and water temperature.
The star of the show is found under the hood. This 1969 Chevrolet Nova features a 454ci V8 bored out to a capacity of 461ci. The built engine with 200 miles on it, as reported by the owner, features high-compression 12:1 pistons, while power is sent to the rear wheels via a 1969 model year four-speed manual transmission. The Nova also features four-link rear suspension, with a Ford nine-inch rear end.

The Chevy Nova or Chevy II was made between 1961 and 1979, as a compact car for the North American market. Yes, in a world of muscle cars, pony cars and luxurious land yachts, the compact car was still carving out a name for itself. After all, not every family wanted or could afford the flashier, larger, sportier offerings. So, cars like the Nova offered mobility to countless individuals and families who would otherwise have to take the bus! That means a Nova as a classic car is a worthy choice to make. Today, we have a 1970 Chevrolet Nova for sale from Nevada with a 350ci under the hood, a TH400 to drive the wheels, a reupholstered interior and some nice customizations. You should seriously consider it if you’re in the market for a drivable classic.
The drag strip is where battles are settled, it's where man and machine are hyper-focused on closing down a quarter mile in the quickest time possible. Choosing your weapon to power down a dead straight is open to interpretation; sure, you could power down in a full-electric motor with the air conditioning on, but where is the fun in that? Present today is a machine that can power down a drag strip with style and raised eyebrows, and takes shape with this 1969 Chevrolet Nova. With a reported 72,411 miles on its clock, this unique build is your weekend plans on full throttle and wide smiles every time you're behind the wheel.
The Chevrolet Chevy II or Nova was a compact offering by the Bowtie during the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. It offered maneuverable motoring for those who didn’t want a hulking behemoth to contend themselves with. After all, even though America had some lovely wide open roads and lush boulevards at the time, there were also small towns with smaller roads and limited parking spaces. Naturally not all buyers wanted to steer a land yacht down these, or fight for parking in large cities which were getting increasingly crowded. So, compact segment cars like the Nova sold quite well indeed. Today, we’ve got a 1970 Chevrolet Nova Coupe Restomod for sale from Kings Park, New York. Hailing from the third generation of the Nova, it’s got some pretty neat upgrades under its belt! These include an aftermarket performance street suspension set-up, an aftermarket exhaust, and why, a 383 Stroker! There’s only 1,387 miles on the build, too.

One of Chevy’s immediate post-war stalwarts, the Fleetline was a car that was aimed at getting Americans up and about in a post-war world of promise. It was offered in various forms including as a two-door coupe and four-door sedan. With its classic Forties lines, it’s a desirable classic today, but becoming increasingly hard to maintain in period form. That’s why it’s also an ideal restomod platform, as showcased by this California-based 1951 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe Restomod. With its 350ci V8, air conditioning and automatic gearbox, this fine Fleetline could be yours if you wish.
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…
