The Chevy Nova was a compact car made by the Bowtie, aimed at attracting a wider crowd. However, for a compact car, Chevy still offered it with a V8, highlighting the fact that performance was very much on the agenda. Five generations of Nova were made, and this particular 1966 Chevrolet Nova comes from the second generation which ran between 1966 and 1967. But, this car is so much more than yet another Nova. It’s been turned into a restomod, and looks like no other as a result. So if you want a Nova with modern-era performance and something that you can daily drive when required, step this way and inquire.
As befits a loud and proud car, this 1966 Chevrolet Nova wears bright red as its dominant color, punctuated by plenty of chrome trim as was popular in the Sixties. It rolls on a set of 15-inch US Chrome Mag wheels, and features custom hood hinges by Ring Brothers. There’s LED lighting all round, including the taillamps, and a set of red-ringed tires. The interior of this 1966 Chevrolet Nova is reported to be new and upgraded. You’ve got Dynamat matting installed beneath the carpeting for more refinement and noise suppression. Then, there’s a Billet steering wheel on a tilt column, plus some extra gauges to monitor the upgraded engine’s performance and health status. You’ve also got a B&M shifter, plus a new stereo system for modern tunes to permeate as you cruise around in this stunner. In fact, four adults can cruise in style, with plenty of room for cargo in the car’s spacious trunk.
The largest factory engine that a second-generation Nova could get was a 327ci V8. This 1966 Chevrolet Nova has received something more potent, in the shape of a 383ci Blueprint Stroker, with around 3,000 miles on it so far. Drive is sent to the rear wheels through a 700R4 automatic transmission with a 3000 Stahl converter and a narrowed 12-bolt Posi rear with 3.73 ratio. Meanwhile, the engine is fueled via two 4-barrel carburetors. There’s also a heavy-duty transmission cooler, a Heidts front end, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and QA1 coil-over shocks at all four corners.

The Chevrolet Nova isn’t exactly what one might expect from a Chevy. It’s a compact, and later subcompact car that was introduced in 1961. The Nova was intended to be a basic, affordable car. However, as was inevitable, it soon gained sporting credentials. Take this 1970 Chevrolet Nova as a prime example. No doubt it was quite sporty when it left the factory gates, but the car has now received several enhancements to make it a real treat for keen drivers. With a mere 4,000 miles since it got several upgraded powertrain components, the car awaits a new owner.
Chevrolet's Chevy II and Nova was a compact car that was made between 1961 and 1979. It resurfaced briefly in the eighties as a subcompact, too. A small car from Chevy in the sixties might have seemed rather uncharacteristic, when the automaker was making large and potent machines. However, there were plenty of people who preferred something smaller but could still give them the performance thrills with a V8 under the hood. This first-generation 1965 Chevrolet Nova is a prime example of that fact, and it comes to you after being reportedly refreshed. The current owner reports that the motor is non-numbers matching, but is period correct. That shouldn’t detract from owning this car, though. It’s still a fantastic sixties American classic.

The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is where the legendary Corvette inherited its sharp lines and looks that are still used to this day. This new design over the first-generation Corvette did not only present itself with a spectacular view but also newfound handling prowess. The new lighter body meant this convertible found more acceleration than its predecessor, even though the power remained the same and the new suspension significantly improved handling. All the 1963 cars came out with 372 ci engines, making 250 horsepower as standard, with optional variants like this particular restored model we have for you today, which can produce a whopping 340 horsepower. All this excitement for the second-generation Corvette resulted in an increase of 50% in units built compared to the then-record-setting 1962 version. This made the C2 an automotive icon of the past and present. We’re told that this 1963 convertible American beauty, for sale in Rosamond, California, has only done less than 1000 miles on the odometer after restoration. The current owner also reports that the numbers are matching for the motor and transmission, however documentation cannot be provided.
Occasionally, a manufacturer comes along that wows the car industry with their truly remarkable creations, leaving even the most critical journalists stunned. This 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 3LZ Convertible, which has just under 1,600 miles on the odometer, is a car that would knock the socks off all of its competitors. The Corvette name has been around since 1953, and in that over 70-year production run, it has always fulfilled its purpose through GM’s tried and tested formula – Look good, go fast, and make a good noise. Nice to see that not much has changed.
The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.

Chevy’s El Camino is iconically known for its coupe utility body style. Basically, the coupe utility combines the ride comfort and handling of a car’s monocoque construction with the versatility of a pickup truck. Adapted from a Chevy two-door station wagon, the El Camino appeared in 1959, to compete with Ford’s Ranchero. Five generations of El Camino were made until 1987 when the nameplate was quietly retired. If you’ve always been intrigued by this pastiche of coupe and pickup truck, consider picking up this 1980 Chevrolet El Camino as your next classic. This 53,500-mile example comes to you with all maintenance reportedly up to date, so it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.
