With a deadline of just 18 months, then Chevy designer Clare MacKichan and his team had no time for trial and error. The goal was to build a compact, affordable, high-selling car. MacKichan hit the nail on the head with the introduction of the Chevrolet Nova in 1962, making it one of the fastest-produced vehicles in GM's history. Of course, like all vehicles, the Nova evolved with each generation, making itself a real competitor in the muscle car segment with the third generation as featured here. The third-gen Nova is a favorite among those who like the adrenaline rush of the drag strip, and if you are one of them, you might already notice that this is exactly what said vehicle has been built for.
The third-generation Chevy Nova had a distinctive exterior design that was more aerodynamic and sportier than its predecessors. The car featured a long hood, short deck, and a fastback-style roofline that sloped down to a short rear deck, the tell-tale features of a muscle car at the time. This specific 1972 Chevrolet Nova can instantly be identified as a track-focused car, if not by the 671-blower peeking out of the hood, then by the reportedly new disproportionate tire setup and rear spoiler. The car is also reportedly equipped with disk brakes upfront while maintaining drums for the rear. Looking into the interior, it becomes very much more apparent that the previous owner of this Nova wasn't too keen on preserving its originality. Rather, what he saw fit was a racing roll cage protecting a set of bucket seats and a dash full of gauges to constantly keep feeding you information because that's what really matters when you're trying to complete a quarter mile unreasonably fast.
Not too much about the engine of this 1973 Chevrolet Nova has been revealed other than the fact that it is a 454 Big Block V8 engine with a new 671 blower and blower gasket that is mated to a three-speed standard manual transmission to produce 800hp.
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.
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.
Chevy’s Nova was a compact car from the Bowtie, aimed at offering affordable and convenient motoring to the American public who didn’t want or couldn’t afford one of the brand’s larger, sportier or more opulent offerings. The Nova was wildly popular as a result, and can be considered a ‘bread and butter car’. After all, it’s nice to make low-volume, expensive sports and luxury cars, but you want your bread and butter cars to sell in volumes, in order to pay the bills. Today, the Nova has cemented a reputation as a great American classic to own and drive. Need more convincing? Take a look at this 1964 Chevrolet Nova Coupe and you’ll see what we mean. Although we must tell you, this Nova isn’t strictly stock. All information, as reported by the current owner, points to it being quite a performance beast, and a delectable treat to drive.

The Corvette name has been around since 1953, and in that over 70-year production run, it has always fulfilled its purpose through GM’s tried and tested formula – Look good, go fast, and make a good noise. Nice to see that not much has changed.
Choosing a seventh generation or C7 Corvette is a smart move if you want a sports car that’s iconic, a definite future classic, and of course, America. Chevy’s eighth-generation Corvette from 2020 onwards shifted into a mid-engined layout and went supercar chasing, making the C7 the last of the front-engined Corvette era. Today, you can find a lovely specimen in the shape of this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible from Sarasota, Florida, for sale with just over 30,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a host of features and a Corvette brochure is included too.

Coronet is one of those names from Dodge that the current generation won’t know about, but the previous one definitely will. This nameplate floated around Dodge’s hierarchy for a few decades, moving between the automaker’s full size and mid size offerings.

Now, we’ve got a nice fifth-generation 1967 Dodge Coronet for sale, from the period when the Coronet was a midsize car. This particular car is something of a restomod and resides in Anderson, California. Oh, and it’s quite suitable to go racing in, as well as own and cherish. Let’s learn more.
Fondly known as the Goat, the Pontiac GTO is one of Pontiac’s most hallowed models from the Sixties. It was conceived as a smart way to get around a General Motors management ban on divisions competing in auto racing. Three gentlemen named Bill Collins, John Z DeLorean and Russ Gee found a way round this ban. Why not give customers a car that they can then race when and how they please? Simply focus on street performance with a healthy dose of usability tossed in, then let customers do as they please. With a name inspired by none other than the Ferrari 250 GTO of the 1950s, the Pontiac GTO was born. Today’s 1967 Pontiac GTO is from the first generation and comes with under 70,000 miles on the clock. Hence, it’s a great classic to own and love, as well as drive enthusiastically. It’s also got an interesting gearbox!
