Overview of 1971 Chevrolet Nova SS Tribute For Sale by Owner

This 1971 Chevrolet Nova SS Tribute is a stunning blend of classic American muscle-car styling and serious modern performance upgrades. Sporting fresh Mango Tango Pearl paint with distinctive SS badging, this Nova not only looks fast—it genuinely delivers, thanks to its extensively built 355ci V8 pushing out an impressive 485 horsepower. Located in Lebanon, Oregon, this fully documented build includes comprehensive receipts and a detailed photographic history, ensuring total transparency in its restoration and customization.

Exterior and Interior

Finished in eye-catching Mango Tango Pearl, the Nova's recent repaint accentuates its aggressive lines and classic SS styling cues. SS badging complements the period-correct appearance, while 15-inch A.R. Outlaw II aluminum wheels wrapped in new Cooper radial tires enhance the stance and grip. A set of original-style Chevy Rally Sport wheels is also included, along with an extra painted stock hood, allowing versatility for both street and show. Inside, the black interior retains a classic muscle-car vibe with thoughtful upgrades. A Hurst pistol-grip shifter with line lock takes center stage, emphasizing the car's performance heritage. Modern additions include a Kenwood audio player paired with a custom speaker setup, offering contemporary convenience within a vintage environment.

Engine

The heart of this build is a powerful 355ci V8 engine featuring a robust 4-bolt main block. Performance upgrades include an Edelbrock single-plane high-rise intake manifold, Keith Black forged domed pistons with an 11:1 compression ratio, a Comp-Cam Thumpr camshaft, 2.02 Camelback heads, and a brand-new 650 CFM Brawler street carburetor. Ignition enhancements include an MSD H.E.I. distributor, DUI 50,000V coil, MSD AL-6 ignition box, and 8mm Super Comp plug wires, capped by vintage gold Moroso valve covers and air cleaner. Power is transferred via a TH350 B&M automatic transmission equipped with a 3800 B&M stall converter, while handling is significantly improved through an Art Morrison coil-over shocks and ladder bar suspension setup, complemented by a sub-frame connector system. The rear axle features a 3.73 gear ratio, and stopping power comes from a power disc brake setup with a hydro-boost system. An aggressive dual Flowmaster Super 44 crossover exhaust ensures the Nova sounds as powerful as it performs.

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.

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.
