1967 Chevrolet Nova SS

The 1967 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova earned its reputation by doing more with less. Its compact dimensions, lightweight construction, and straightforward engineering made it one of Chevrolet's most formidable performance platforms, equally at home on the street, at the drag strip, or as the foundation for serious custom builds. Built from an authentic 118-VIN Nova Super Sport, this example transforms that already desirable platform into an exceptionally well-executed street machine, combining classic muscle car attitude with modern engineering and a professionally built supercharged big-block V8 producing a claimed 750 horsepower on pump gas. Finished in deep black, the body retains the clean, understated styling that has long distinguished the first-generation Nova. Chrome bumpers, bright trim, and Super Sport badging preserve the Nova's clean factory appearance, while the precisely trimmed hood opening provides just enough clearance for the towering polished 8-71 supercharger to become the car's unmistakable focal point. Rather than relying on extensive body modifications, the build embraces the Nova's original lines, allowing its stance and proportions to speak for themselves. Polished 17" five-spoke wheels are wrapped in 225/45ZR17 BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 tires up front and massive 315/35ZR17 Nitto NT555 tires at the rear, giving the car a muscular appearance. Power comes from a 400ci V8 professionally built by Prestige Motorsports around a Dart block with forged internals, AFR aluminum cylinder heads, dual Holley Terminator EFI throttle bodies, and a BDS 8-71 supercharger. The combination produces a claimed 750 horsepower on pump gas while benefiting from the drivability and reliability of modern electronic fuel injection. A Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed manual transmission sends power to a narrowed Ford 9" rear axle equipped with a limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears. Long-tube Hooker headers, dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and electric exhaust cutouts, rack-and-pinion power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, front double wishbone suspension, coilovers at all four corners, and a 4-link rear suspension complete a drivetrain and chassis engineered to harness substantial horsepower while remaining thoroughly streetable. The interior maintains the Nova's unmistakable late-1960s identity while incorporating thoughtful upgrades to support its vastly increased capability. Factory-style bucket seats, matching rear seating, original-style door panels, and the stock dashboard preserve the familiar appearance of a true Super Sport, while a polished three-spoke steering wheel, Hurst shifter, Dakota Digital instrumentation, and a six-point roll cage reinforce the car's purpose. Multi-point racing harnesses provide additional security, yet the cabin remains remarkably functional and welcoming. Modern air conditioning further enhances comfort without compromising the car's performance-oriented character. Blending authentic Super Sport heritage with carefully selected modern components, this Nova delivers the unmistakable character of a traditional American street machine with the performance and drivability of a modern build. Supercharged power, a six-speed manual transmission, upgraded suspension, and factory-inspired styling combine to create a cohesive package that remains true to the spirit of Chevrolet's legendary compact muscle car.
