The Chevrolet Nova was initially known as a compact economy car. But thanks to its light weight and impressive performance (when spec’d with a V8), the Nova soon became notorious in the hot-rodding community. Today, the Chevy II/Nova has become an icon in the tuning fraternity thanks to an abundance of aftermarket parts and a wealth of knowledge. It seems the sky is the limit for some of these impressive builds, and the car featured here is no exception. This 1969 Chevrolet Nova features an impressive spec list that includes a bored-out V8 engine with high-compression pistons, a swapped manual transmission, and a rather eye-catching exterior, complete with unique graphics.
One look at this 1969 Chevrolet Nova, and you know it means business, thanks to its traditional drag-car stance. The red paintwork is complemented by yellow and white stripes on the lower rear, while a chequered flag graphic dominates the rear half of the body. To necessitate the installation of the wide-profile Hoosier rear tires, the car has been tubbed. The drag-car stance is accentuated by smaller front tires and a large power bulge for the hood. Inside, you’ll find a roll cage for safety and a black interior, complete with bucket seats. For ease of use, the driver’s seat features electric adjustment, while the passenger side is manual. In the interests of weight saving, there is no rear seat. You’ll find an AutoMeter RPM guage mounted near the shifter, while ahead of the driver you’ll find two gauges from Summit Racing monitoring oil pressure and water temperature.
The star of the show is found under the hood. This 1969 Chevrolet Nova features a 454ci V8 bored out to a capacity of 461ci. The built engine, as reported by the owner, features high-compression 12:1 pistons, while power is sent to the rear wheels via a 1969 model year four-speed manual transmission. The Nova also features four-link rear suspension, with a Ford nine-inch rear end.

The Chevrolet Nova, or Chevy II as it was also known, was the Bowtie's small car offering. Yes, amidst all the land yachts and pumped-up muscle cars, there existed buyers who still wanted something more compact. That didn't mean that buyers had to give up on large engines, though. On the contrary, the Nova, which ran between 1962 and 1979, with a brief re-appearance from 1985 to 1988, was offered with V8 power if buyers desired such. This particular 1971 Chevrolet Nova has received a comprehensive restoration, plus a new heart that's traveled less than 5,000 miles. Hence, it's a turn-key classic car that can burn rubber at your command. Will you add it to your garage, drive it, enjoy it, and cherish it for future generations? If you're willing to do all these things, give us a call.
The Chevrolet Corvette has always been an iconic sports car. While the fourth generation may have looked like an evolution of its predecessor, under the skin, things were completely redesigned. The C4 features a revised five-link suspension set up for the rear, which greatly improved handling. The fiberglass panels were upgraded to plastic, and the radiator was angled at 15 degrees so that police radar would have a harder time locking on to the front end. All in all, the C4 generation of Chevrolet Corvette marked a massive shift for the model — and it’s no wonder that interest and prices are on the rise. Our featured car is a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette with 43,000 miles on the clock. It could be the perfect companion for your next classic adventure.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
While we come across several custom builds here at Exotic Car Trader, rarely do we offer a prototype that was created from the ground up. The 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Racer is a one-of-a-kind creation currently offered for sale by the car's builder and inventor. Using a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 as a donor, the sale includes the molds used in its creation of the custom bodywork. The curb weight is reportedly just 2,620 lbs, which is roughly 500 pounds lighter than the original Z06 donor car. One look at this painstakingly crafted prototype, and you can tell that hundreds of hours of engineering and planning have gone into its creation. If you’re looking for something truly unique and an appearance that wouldn’t look out of place tearing around the Circuit de la Sarthe, then this 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Racer could be the perfect opportunity.
Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.

Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
