I've been in a big block NOVA. Scary fun! 😮

I built a bunch in the 70s. The 427s with good head work and the twister 780 or the 850 DP and the L-88 cam would make a grown man cry!, The best sleepers out there. I m a Ford guy, but credit where credit is due!

When I hit the lottery…I’ll give you a call!

My buddy owns a 1970 L89 Nova in dark green with a black factory vinyl top. All Original and a one owner 4 speed.

Beautiful I’ve always loved the 1970 -72 Nova. Im sure other years as well!! Such a beautiful car. That says American muscle!

Mmmmmmmm this car is absolutely gorgeous

My Grandpa has a 70 nova with a 396 sitting in a poll barn.He says it's worth a whole lot of money but it's a pretty rough condition But it's all there.

It's not the only one😮 there's a black and red sitting under lean to on the side of a grain bin. With less than 300 mi on it. The owner of the cars dad bought a before he went to Vietnam. He told her mom he didn't want anyone driving it until they came home. Unfortunately you never did.😢

I LOVE rare cars like this. I remember a guy ordered a '60's Mopar (Ramcharger?) that he'd originally ordered for racing with the 426 Max Wedge motor and acid-dipped panels, but when he picked it up found out it had the new 426 Hemi at no charge because they ran out of Max Wedges! It had been hand-written in on the build sheet (which the guy wisely kept)! Sadly the guy sold it some time ago so it's not a one-owner car, but at least the people who've owned it since have treated it with the respect a one-of-one car deserves!

Had a Nova crazy Fun Car 😎❤️

Sitting on a gold mine 1 of a kind the value is off the chart😊

What a cool car Peter I like that you're so great for the industry keep it up .

My first was a 72, three speed on the floor, 350, 2 barrel, factory sun roof, so much fun for 31years. I built and installed a 307 punched out in 1987, 600 Edelbrock, 350 heads, 350th tranny, rebuilt the 308 rear. Its now gone , saved the drive train thats now in a 57 Bel-Air.

What a beauty man enjoy it

Beautiful

That's pretty awesome. I had a rare Nova as well. A 1975 Nova Custom that came from the factory with a 350 motor, 5 Speed Borg Warner transmission, 12 bolt rear with 3:55 gears. Had a half landau roof, AC and a radio antenna mounted inside the windshield. The rear window had defroster wires mounted in it. The car made an awesome sleeper.

So rare!!!!!!

Is this a 396 or a 427 with the aluminum head L89 option?

This was my first car, with a 250 inline 6 cylinder.

I wonder how many more might might still be out there ❔ GREAT AUTHENTICITY...WOW 😃 Happy driving😊

This dude is the nerd of cars. Incredible love he has with the knowledge and dedication is amazing.

The 396 was actually 402 c.i.

Wow! That one if restored correctly will be worth some serious coin.

Wow thats Really cool I've always grew up with Novas, still have my dads 68 nova ss factory big block 4speed, 80s race car , only wish i had the only engine for it his car was originally, Found my own in 02 a 68 nova ss factory small block 4speed car , my car is factory island teal bucket seat car .

Bet that'll fetch a fortune at Barrett Jackson!!!

They list of the engine at 375hp but it's really 425. It's the exact same 396 that they put in the 65 Corvette

Had a neighbor as a kid who had one. Of course, I had his daughter. When i was Thirteen. I can remember the car, but damm, if i can remember that girls name.

My first car was a 74 nova two-door hatchback, three speed transmission, a slip and a stock 350 still the funniest car I’ve ever owned because it was about six years later when I owned the 69. Pontiac, Firebird with straight six overhead cam just getting in it got me tickets.lol

My favorite was the 65,66,67.

Beautiful SS. Cool hood.

My neighbor had a dark green 1970 nova SS396 A/T 12 bolt, manual everything. And it was an L-89. It even had rubber carpet! That was 1978. The car is somewhere in Fargo, ND.

A bit like the black ghost that doesn't exist😊😊 but for 1 million dollars it does now😊

My favorite Nova is the the 1974 Chevy Nova hatchback. When you have the ass end jacked up and you are standing right infront of it. It looks like a beast coming towards you. Now, it came with a 350 but that really doesn’t matter.

I love the Chevy Nova, such a cool body style. I’d imagine this one is worth a fortune.

My first car was a 1970 Nova SS 396 BB 2 speed power glide. My brother in law couldn't drive a standard so when he was in the Navy during Vietnam. His parents custom ordered it for him, after Vietnam he drove the heck out of it. I renovated my sister and his basement into a Club basement. Disco Era, well it was my early graduation 🎓 present. Ragged out, but our HS auto shop teacher helped me rebuild it back to it's original glory. Of course I put a new paint job on it with custom graffics done by me and my brother. I always regret selling it because I had the original build sheet and paperwork. One of a kind 😅 but we sold and traded cars like changing pants. My grandkids all wish I would have saved all my cars for them. I wish I would have saved them for me, because I would have been able to sell them for a fortune. I saw a 1969 Judge sell for a quarter million dollars on Barret Jackson over 10 years ago 😮 I had a 69 Judge. Chevelle's, Camaro's, Mopars, Ford's, ECT. Now that my health is bad I can't do anything like that anymore.☹️😢

Very bad ass car when set up right with headers, traction bars , big sway bars , front chin spoiler ,rear deck spoiler ,and a good intake manifold they are quick and Handel great

I owned a 69 nova andit it had a 396 in it I put a 427 in it for street racing. A fast car it was.

I wish my uncle was around to see how popular the Nova has become, when I was a kid he wouldn’t drive anything else. He told everyone he was addicted to “Nova-Caine” 😂

I had a 72 nova I love that car

HEY KID motors are electrical there are no serial numbers on motors.

Doesn't get any better than that!

The good ole days.

I miss my 74 Nova. It was a fast car.

My dad ordered a 1979 Chevy Silverado SWB BIG 10- 454 black/red interior. It took 5-6 months to build the truck, it came in June or July 1979 , when the dealer saw the truck, he said this truck with the 454 BIG 10 , It was not supposed to be built after April 1979. First quarter of 79 was the last year for 1/2 tons with Big Block 454’s built. We had one of the last it maybe the last 1/2 ton 454 Ever built that year.

Priceless

Dream car, I need it!! Now!!

Beautiful car!!!!!😊

Wow it is amazing

Sister had a 70 Nova when we were in high school . Borrowed it once when my car was broken down . This thing would smoke the tires for blocks ! Ask me how i know ! 😉

Very nice car! There are many factory cars in America that don't officially exist! Most of them are chevrolet but you and I have seen and read of ghost cars from about every other manufacturer durring this era.

Wow! Would like th o see. Had a 64' Chevu Nova w/194 cu in 6cylinder 3 on the tree. Loved th hat car. Red wall G70's w/American grey spoked mags, chrome alum rims.

4 speed Nova? Now that's awesome.

Don't Speak until👉🏽U 🎓Chk🕹Tha Leak 🤫 197O L-89 SS NOVA* 💯%Tha#1,&🏆Only🏁

I bet that thing rips.

I had a 68 with a 396 I do believe for speed long gone now wish I had kept that...

So cool

Wow!

also. in 68 you could get the L-79 327 Vett engine in the 3rd G Nova. while at 350hp the L-79 was not overly powerful, it ran extremely well.

That sucks because back in 2007 I sent mine to the junkyard. I didn't know what I had after it was too late. They put it in a gated area and sat on it for many years. Until they got caught cooking meth on the property and dumping the harsh chemicals in the yard of the junkyard. Then, a company came in and crushed every car on property.

That’s cool

Fun fact: ICE have engines, EVs have motors.

1968-1972 anything Chevy is awesome

The Nova didn't sell well in Spanish speaking countries because " no va" means "won't go".

I used to have a 70 El Camino SS/LS6 , and the only car i was scared of was a 69 SS Nova, there's something about Nova's that screams fast af, he had a 396 (i think) but it was fast af and would get me off the line every time, mostly because my rear end was too light, even with Lakewood traction bars, i couldn't beat him

Yenko built 37 with 427'S . Even scared him to drive them.

I almost bought a 1973 Nova with a 396 and Turbo 400 auto. I took it for a test drive...it would scoot. When I did one pedal to the metal run and saw the gas gauge go down I passed on the purchase. 🤣

All Nova are special to me.....

My step dad had a 69 black / black 396 4 speed nova. We know it's gone. The guy he sold it to Totaled it

They actually made one more rare....1968 modle 4 speed with lock out reverse . 3:73 12 bolt 396/375 HP only 244 built...even had bench front seat..Was a real sleeper.

My high school had one , i believe ,donated to them from gm of Canada. It fell off a train while loading it. Vin removed so it would not be sold or driven by anyone. Was white with twin black stripes. I tried to buy but they scraped it after a few years

Obviously, the market doesn't agree with me, but personally think the 396 novas are more desirable than a Yenko. I get it that the yenkos are rarer and Don Yenko being a boss in the racing and Chevy community but these cars were just engine swaps with some graphics, some of which were applied in an inconsistent manner.

When I ordered my SS Camaro I got the 396/375. The salesman said I could order 427 motor, why oh ehy did I say no. That car was so much fun. I traded it for a wife and it was a bad trade in retrospect

I've heard of an L88 427.

Delayed production of 69's made Chevy title them as 70

You must never drive a car like this. If you do you will never be happy with a modern car again.

I can't imagine what that car would sell for

I'm a Ford guy, and this is one dream Chevy I would drive!! 💯🏁👌🏼

IT'S A UNICORN!!

Love this

I had one of those as well so they did exist

Fun fact: In the Spanish language the word Nova means "It doesn't move".

Grandmas car give you a real ass whoopin. 😂

Remember in 1970 GM went on strike. A bunch of weird stuff happened.

Says a nova doesn’t exist, but nova expert is around on call

My dad was sales manager at NicKey, such 'one off' cars could be ordered as COPO.

This happens…..an mis count on the line or a left over parts or ordered special. Kinda happened in the 67 nova….no L79’s but national nostalgic nova reported there were 4 in existence due to an mis count on the line. They quietly put the left overs together and moved on. After all didn’t want the nova to outrun the new camero

My first car was a 74 non hatch 2 door nova . The last year of the beautiful nova’s imo . It was originally a 6cyl 3 on the tree car and when I got it it had a 383 and turbo 400 and it was a handful to say the least . Would I have given my sons a car like that at 16 I don’t know but I bought and paid for it and regret letting go of it cause 74 non hatch cars are getting hard to find in original shape but one day I will.

JUNGLE JIM WOULD OF LOVED THIS ONE

Yes they were out in 1969 because in Baltimore and Glen Burnie they were 25 of these Nova cars.

I had a 71 SS, but it had a 350.

A friend of mine he's a car collector, and he says there was never any Nova SS made. And I seen a 72 SS Nova,,, now I'm confused

I've got 3 Nova's and I would trade all of them for that car.

NICE !!

My first car was a '69 Nova SS396, w/a 4spd., and a 4:11, 12 bolt. Extremely fast. My father called it my rocket ship! 😀

A plain Jane nova is something

Why would you think it wouldn’t exist? He has the proof🤔🧐

Money💰........ There just aint nothing in the world 🌎 like it!

That's the only car that should exist....that cars mint

That can't be because my father has had one since I was a small child and we still have it it's a 396 super sport 1970 Nova.... Green with rally stripes..... Four speed Muncie m22.... As far as I know it's numbers matching....

I hate it when they say stuff don't exist, then I have to go find one. That's what they get for having their noses stuck in a book all the time.
