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.
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 1970 Chevrolet Nova has built itself a reputation as one of the most accessible and easily customized muscle cars of its era. It has a loyal fan base. Whether you’re looking for a stock throwback to a time of big displacement or a retro design modified with modern parts, the Nova platform is one of the best ways to achieve either. Our featured car manages to preserve much of its originality. The owner reports that this 1970 Chevrolet Nova has all its original sheet metal. It features a new V8 engine has also been rebuilt and rebored to 380ci. If you like what you see, get in touch to make this muscle car yours to take home.

Corvettes are aplenty because they’ve been around since 1953. Now on the eighth generation, Chevy’s runaway sales hit, and America’s favorite sports car, has firmly been cemented as a classic, modern classic, and future classic, depending on which generation you choose to pick. That’s why the fifth generation, or C5, is an interesting place to be. It’s more modern classic, and yet it’s not, especially when you consider later model cars like this 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. This reportedly all-stock car has 17,697 miles to its name and is up for grabs in Norman, Oklahoma. So if you want a Corvette that’s relatively modern but will definitely become a cherished classic in a decade or so, here’s the ticket.
Check out the eighth-generation Corvette if you want to see what American automakers can achieve when they combine performance, luxury, and capability. The C8 Corvette is definitely able to take on Europe’s finest sports cars, and look good while doing so. That’s because, for the C8, Chevy moved the engine into a mid-mounted set-up, resulting in near-perfect weight distribution and a finer handling balance for keen drivers. While the regular C8 is potent enough, the Z06 raised the bar even higher – for example, since when has a Corvette had an engine that revved beyond 8,000rpm? You can avail yourself of all that high-rev V8 goodness by purchasing this 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 3LZ Z07. What’s even more impressive is that it’s got under 150 miles on the clock!
What do you get when you imbue an Eighties car with Twenties (no not Twenty Twenties, but Nineteen Twenties) styling? That’s precisely what Excalibur aimed to do. This Milwaukee-based outfit was the work of Clifford Brooks Stevens, who initially designed the cars for Studebaker. Stevens subsequently formed a company to create them by himself. Sadly, the project wasn’t as successful as all involved would have expected, and after several failures, Excalibur folded in 1990. Of course, that hasn’t stopped others from creating replicas, such as this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica. Built on a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS chassis, this 17,688-mile automobile awaits its new owner in Williston, Vermont. It is often said that imitation is the best form of flattery, so the fact that someone built a replica of the Excalibur means that the car is worth checking out. If you’re the kind of person who lusts after the quirky and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what many consider a ‘classic’ or ‘modern classic’, why not buy this car and become its custodian?
Being a manufacturer and making a statement in the ʼ80s was a tough task, as the automotive world was on full blast with cars making the move to more tech and a change in design to suit a massive shift in customer tastes and preferences. Mercedes-Benz in the 80s was peak German automotive and the secret to its success? Staying true to who they are and giving the world true luxury and superior engineering over marketing gimmicks. Present today is this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL, this German classic is a love letter to luxury cruising in style and has just a reported 140,316 miles on its clock.
