1966 Chevrolet Nova

Introduced for 1966, the Chevy II Nova received a redesign that replaced the earlier compact body with a longer, wider, and more muscular appearance. The new styling helped broaden the Nova's appeal while retaining the lightweight construction and simple mechanics that made the model popular with performance enthusiasts. The light weight and compact dimensions of the Chevy II platform also made the Nova a popular choice among hot-rodders seeking V8 performance in a smaller package.

At the top of the lineup, the Super Sport (SS) added distinctive trim and appearance features to Chevrolet's compact car. The Sport Coupe configuration featured a pillarless hardtop body style without a fixed B-pillar and a sleeker, more formal roofline, while the SS package added bucket seats, a floor-mounted shifter, special badging, and bright trim accents. When equipped with V8 power and a manual transmission, the Nova SS was one of Chevrolet's most performance-oriented compact offerings of the era.

This 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova SS Sport Coupe is powered by a 327 cubic-inch V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear axle. Finished in Aztec Bronze Metallic over black vinyl upholstery, the car is equipped with headers, a mild camshaft, tubular front control arms, and 15-inch Cragar wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Additional features include chrome engine-bay dress-up components.
