Powered 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova Sport Coupe 4-Speed

This 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova two-door sport coupe was refurbished prior to the current owner’s 2022 acquisition, which included a repaint in black after various body and floor panels were replaced. The 383ci V8 was installed in 2020 and is fitted with a Holley carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, block-hugger headers, and an aluminum radiator, and power is routed through a four-speed manual transmission and a Moser 9″ rear end with 4.11:1 gears. The cabin is outfitted with TMI Products front bucket seats trimmed black vinyl along with a Hurst shifter, AutoMeter instrumentation, and a retro-look digital stereo, and the car rides on a lowered suspension with a Heidts SuperRide independent front suspension kit and a four-link rear setup, rear coilovers, and 17″ Torq Thrust wheels mounted over Wilwood disc brakes. This modified Nova is offered by the seller on behalf of their father with records and a clean Louisiana title in the current owner’s name.

The car was repainted in black after replacement body panels were reportedly fitted during the refurbishment. Details include an aluminum grille, a cowl-induction hood, chrome bumpers, dual side mirrors, and Super Sport badging. The seller states the floor and trunk panels were replaced during the refurbishment. Imperfections are displayed close-up in the gallery.

American Racing 17″ Torq Thrust wheels are mounted with a mixed set of Nitto tires. The car rides on a lowered suspension with a Heidts SuperRide independent front suspension kit and a four-link rear setup with adjustable coilovers as well as front drop spindles and rear lowering blocks. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with a Wilwood master cylinder and calipers.

The TMI Products front bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl and are joined by a factory-style rear bench and Nova SS-branded floormats in the footwells. Interior appointments include a padded dash, a Hurst shifter, and a retro-look digital stereo linked to aftermarket speakers mounted in the kick panels and parcel shelf. The dome light does not work.

The Comfort Grip-style steering wheel sits on a tilting Ididit column and fronts a suite of AutoMeter instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and readouts for water temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. Lokar pedal pads were installed during the build. The five-digit odometer shows 1,100 miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 383ci stroker V8 was installed in 2020, and it is equipped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a polished Edelbrock intake manifold, a black air cleaner assembly and valve covers, and a QFT fuel line. Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator and dual electric fans.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Muncie four-speed manual transmission, and the Moser 9″ rear end is equipped with a limited-slip differential and 4.11:1 gears, according to the seller. Block-hugger headers flow to a dual exhaust system with Borla ProXS mufflers.
