FROM 1962 TO 1972, THE NOVA
REPRESENTED CHEVROLET'S ENTRY INTO THE COMPACT MUSCLE CAR BATTLE.
THROUGH THE YEARS IT WOULD ADOPT ALL THE ENGINES AVAILABLE IN THE CAMARO,
INCLUDING THE MIGHTY
375 HORSE 396 V8, MAKING IT THE ULTIMATE SLEEPER AS WELL AS THE TRUE
REFLECTION OF BUDGET PERFORMANCE.
WHILE THERE WAS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT IN THE EARLY MUSCLE CAR
WARS, MANY BIG BLOCK
TORQUE MONSTERS WERE OFTEN CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED
MUSCLE CAR
TERRORS, THE L79 EQUIPPED CHEVY II (327/350 HP) WITH IT'S INCREDIBLE
POWER-TO-WEIGHT RATIO.
WHEN CHEVROLET EQUIPPED THEIR COMPACT WITH A HOT SMALL BLOCK THE RESULTING
NOVA CHEVY II BECAME
AN INSTANT CLASSIC AND WAS ONE OF DETROIT'S BEST KEPT SECRETS DURING THE
WHOLE MUSCLE CAR SCENE.
THIS 1966 NOVA CHEVY II REPRESENTS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO
ACQUIRE ONE OF THESE TREASURED
BEASTS. IT IS NOT A NUMBERS-MATCHING TRAILER QUEEN BUT AN AWESOME BUILT
