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 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.
