After a strong start, with over 326,000 units rolling off the assembly lines in the first year on the market, the Nova remained in hot demand in 1963. However, the demand for Chevrolet's new model slowed down in the next few years, dropping to approximately 100,000 units in 1967.
The 1967 model year witnessed approximately 170,000 Novas leaving the factory, with more customers interested in V8 engines.
The Nova started with a strong focus on small-displacement engines, but the four-cylinder choices rapidly became irrelevant. Most people ordered the L6 unit, and once a V8 option joined the lineup, customers started discovering the benefit of having a more potent factory-installed unit under the hood.
The Nova in these photos is a rare opportunity to admire a 1966 Nova in all its glory.
I'll start with the best part: the mileage. The car has only 1,958 miles (3,151 km) on the clock, and they are all original. eBay seller lostintimeyouknow shared a detailed description of the mileage increase, revealing that the first owner sold the car approximately five months after buying it from Sherwood Chevrolet in Johnson City, Tennessee.
As anyone can figure out, this is an award-winning show car, It won the Chevy Nova Nationals in 2003 and spent almost its entire life in garages, away from sun, snow, and rain. However, it received a repaint in 2003 when the third owner sprayed a new coat of Regal Red just before winning the Chevy Nationals.
It has also received several key fixes, including a rebuilt carburetor, though the fourth owner removed the original unit and installed a Corvette replacement. The fifth owner purchased the Nova, rebuilt and reinstalled the original carburetor, and parked the car in a climate-controlled warehouse. The odometer had the same mileage as today.
The sixth owner, the eBay seller, explains that they purchased the car and immediately parked it in their collection.
As anyone can expect, this Nova sells with lots of documents, including the owner's manual, the sales brochure, copies of titles, the owner's history since it was new, and the prestigious trophy received in 2003.
As if a 1966 Nova in tip-top shape wasn't already a highly desirable car, this award-winning model fitted with an L79 also sports mileage you'll never see again. It's a fantastic Nova whose place should be in a museum, so fingers crossed for the next buyer to preserve the mileage and keep the car away from anything that could alter its condition.
The owner posted the Nova on eBay with a hefty price tag, albeit this is unsurprising. They will let the car go for $109,500, but they also enabled the Make Offer button if someone wants the Nova but has another deal in mind. You can inspect it in Buffalo, Minnesota.
