With auto manufacturers rushing to provide the next best thing during the 60s, Chevrolet decided to slow it down and take things back to basics; the Chevrolet Nova was the answer to this and saw the entire car being designed from scratch and ready for production in 18 months. While it was a rushed project, the Nova was a resounding success and, in time, offered performance variants that could shock many when new. The 1974 Chevrolet Nova Restomod we have today is a tasteful example of the right custom upgrades and that Nova magic.
