1966 Chevrolet Nova

1966 Chevrolet Nova SS â?" 327 V8, 4-Speed, Restored Undercarriage Why This Car Is Special The 1966 Chevrolet Nova Super Sport sits at an interesting crossroads in American automotive history. By 1966, the Chevy II Nova was entering its final year of the second-generation body style â?" a clean, tight platform that engineers and hot rodders alike recognized as an ideal foundation for a V8. Chevrolet agreed. That year, the Super Sport package was made available on the Nova hardtop coupe, and buyers who optioned in the 327 cubic inch V8 got a car that weighed significantly less than a full-size muscle car but carried the same small-block lineage that powered Corvettes and Chevelles.
