Current Owner Reports It was built 12 years and the engine was overhauled and refreshed 6 years ago. Fastest Quarter mile it did was 9.80 at 144 MPH.
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.
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.
This 1963 Chevrolet II Nova Convertible stands as an expertly executed blend of vintage style and modern performance. Originally designed as Chevrolet’s compact answer to the Ford Falcon, this Nova has evolved into a show-ready restomod built for both cruising and performance. With a 350ci small-block V8 under the hood, upgraded internals, and a Hugger Orange finish, it delivers a perfect mix of power and nostalgia. The convertible body adds rarity and open-air enjoyment, while subtle performance touches—like the B&M ratchet shifter and Edelbrock induction—hint at the muscle lurking beneath its clean lines.
Muscle cars of the '60s are marvellous machines to look at; take a step back, and their aggressiveness and sheer size strike you. While bigger muscle cars are lovely to look at, they can often be tiresome to control. Peppy performance is not a sentence you would hear in the world of muscle cars, that is, until the Chevrolet Nova made its presence known. Present today is a muscle car that is minimised yet packs a whole lot of punch, taking shape with this 1965 Chevrolet Nova. With a reported 21,467 miles on its clock, this small but mighty muscle car of the '60s can be yours. Better yet, this example features a host of upgrades that make it a true treat to be behind the wheel.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.

Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
