This 1966 Chevrolet Nova II is one stunning muscle car that will blow you away. The Cortez Silver paint job is amazing, and when sitting on those Chip Foose wheels, matched with chromed-out bumpers, the front grille, and the rest of the bright trim, you have a masterpiece. The stance is just perfect, the fiberglass cowl induction hood fits right in, and the chrome exhaust pipes finish off the look with integrity. With this Nova's big engine and restored interior, what more could you want from a car except a chance to drive it?
The black-on-black interior looks sharp, with silver paint and chrome accents in just the right places to break up the action. Nice bucket seats complement the rear bench seat and door panels. The center console looks smooth, accompanied by an easy-grip T-shifter for slamming gears. A woodgrain steering wheel pairs well with a dashboard that retains its original configuration. Neatly mounted to that dashboard is a Bosch tachometer, while everything else-radio, climate controls, knobs, and switches appears to be original. The headliner and carpet are in very good condition, while the rubber Chevy floor mats add extra protection. Original-style door sills, clean door jambs, and nice weather stripping continue to highlight this vehicle's quality.
Under the hood brings even more excitement, with both quality and raw horsepower. The 454 cubic-inch engine is painted Chevy Orange, with chrome valve covers and an air cleaner cover. Beneath the colorful and shiny surface is a block bored .30 over with Dome Pistons, a Comp Xtrem Energy Cam, and a 4-barrel Holley carburetor. Supporting this monster are an aluminum radiator, frame supports, and a Rebel wiring setup. The transmission is a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission sending power back to a 10-bolt rear axle with 3.08 gears.
The front suspension consists of a Mustang II RideTech clip with tubular control arms and adjustable coilovers. Subframe connectors tie into the rear suspension, where traction bars with leaf springs and shocks keep things stable. Bolted to all this madness is a set of 17-inch Foose Knuckle wheels wrapped in 215/55R17 front tires and 235/50R17 rear tires dated 2023/2024. The braking system is manual, with Wilwood front disc brakes featuring slotted and drilled rotors, while the rear uses drum brakes. For muscle car sound, shorty headers feed into a 2 12-inch dual exhaust system with electric cut-outs running through Flowmaster mufflers.
