Drag strips, burnouts, V8's and carburetors, the true essence of American muscle represented perfectly by the subject car: a 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS Tribute. The Nova was launched initially in 1962 with the intent of being a basic and compact family car but was later offered in various configurations such as the menacing 396 SS Tribute you see here. In this guise, it offered levels of performance that were not so basic, to say the least. This car is currently located in Texas, waiting to continue its legacy.
This Nova's interior has been truly cared for, consisting of what looks to be showroom condition black leather seats, black dash and door panels with wooden accents, a 3-spoke stainless steel Chevy steering wheel, and silver trimmed Summit Racing oil pressure and water temp gauges. On the outside, the beautifully maintained Cortes Silver paint contrasts a black roof for a two-toned finish that carries on throughout the car, such as its black front grille and silver front and rear bumpers. This masterpiece sits on a set of Magnum SS wheels encased in Cooper Cobra tires.
This 396ci Tribute is an audacious version of the Nova, boasting a 6.5L V8 engine with a 780 Demon Carb, controlled via a 4-speed manual transmission. The car also includes power steering and a power brake set-up, which consists of a new brake booster, disc brakes up front with drum brakes at the rear. Up front is a fitted sway bar and an 8.5-inch rear end—impressive for a presumably compact car.

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.
Are you someone who is ready to dip their toes into the classic car world, or a Chevrolet enthusiast who is missing a lovely Chevelle in their collection? Whichever you are, this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle is a perfect pick for you. The Chevelle only saw three generations; however, it was one of Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. Most enthusiasts believe that the second generation was the peak of this desirable classic. Lucky for you, our subject car belongs to the second generation as well, and these are known to be reliable classic cars. It is currently located in Anderson, California, and ready to transport you back to the good old ‘60s.
Chevy’s C/K Series of pickup trucks debuted for the 1959 model year, as the successor to the Task Force line-up. For the next four decades, four generations would be made, until 2002 when the C/K Series became the Silverado that we know today. Yup, the good old Silverado comes with a fair bit of history behind it. Today’s 1985 Chevrolet C10 Restomod is a third generation example that’s been extensively resto-modded into a true head-turner. Yes, even a workmanlike truck can be made to be stunningly eye-catching and of course, deeply potent in the performance department. So join us as we take you on a whistle-stop tour of this Florida-based truck that is just a call or DM away from becoming yours if you please.
Being selected as the Pace Car for the prestigious and historically significant Indy 500 is no small feat. Automakers vie for this honor, and Chevy’s Corvette has held the torch multiple times. The Corvette’s first outing as an Indy 500 Pace Car was in 1978, with the C3 generation. Then, the C4 performed pace car duties twice, in 1986 and 1995. The C5 did it twice as well, the C6 racked up a four-year streak from 2005 to 2008 and a fifth time in 2012, the C7 had four outings, and the current C8 has done it five times (discounting the electric E-Ray variant). Chevy has capitalized on these outing as well, creating limited-edition Pace Car variants for lucky customers to buy, own and drive. That’s why this particular 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is significant as it marks the start of the Corvette’s Indy 500 Pace Car journey. Only around 6,500 units were made, and this example from Pennsylvania bears just 75,249 miles so far. Snap it up, quick, because it’s a piece of history.
