The 1966 model year witnessed the introduction of a redesign for the Nova, and the customers loved it. Sales increased to over 163K units, with the Super Sport also convincing more customers to pay extra for the upgrades that turned Nova into a more performance-oriented model.
Over 16,000 buyers fitted their Super Sport with a V8 engine, but the six-cylinder option was still on the table, so approximately 10,000 customers picked the lazier unit.
Otherwise, the series included a four-cylinder engine with 90 horsepower for the 100 model, and customers could go as high as 350 horsepower thanks to a 327ci small block.
Enter this 1966 Chevrolet Nova.
I am sure the SS badges were the first to catch your attention, and I feel you. The Super Sport felt like home on the Nova, and despite not being offered from the first iteration, it didn't take long for Chevrolet to understand that the performance package was needed on its compact cars.
Customers who ordered the Nova were already building their own Super Sports, or at least, they tried to, as many people installed more powerful engines and various sports modifications to prepare their cars for a more thrilling experience and the track.
This Nova does boast some SS goodies, but eBay seller totrodders explains they're not real. It's a clone, as this Nova was born without the Super Sport package. However, this isn't the only secret it hides, as the car also comes with a newer engine – a 350ci unit that starts, runs, and drives properly, making it ready for the road.
The odometer is another mysterious bit, showing approximately 17K miles. The owner says they can't tell if the mileage rolled over, but they explain that "I, as well as the owner previous to me, only put minimal mileage on it."
The car looks great, but it's also because it wears a new coat of paint. The interior is also refreshed, sporting new upholstery.
It's hard to find something to make you walk away if you're not interested in an all-original Nova, but as the seller put it, the buyer can also use the car to build a pro-touring model. However, you can also get everything done and take the Nova to car shows, especially because you can drive to these venues on its wheels.
The selling price could be the biggest shortcoming, as the owner doesn't want to let this Nova SS wannabe go cheaply. They listed the car at $34,000, but they also enabled the Make Offer option, so I guess they are ready to discuss the selling price if you're interested in taking it home. Meanwhile, it's parked in Bellingham, Washington, and given its shape, you won't need transportation to take it home unless you live far away.
