Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to offer this very custom 1966 Chevrolet NOVA SS hardtop for sale. The striking maroon exterior is paired beautifully with a sophisticated tan interior to create a timeless and elegant aesthetic. This iconic model is powered by a potent Chevrolet Small Block V8 engine, which is backed by a 6-speed manual transmission. The SBC is reportedly a 391 CID stroker, based off a GM ZZ383, but we cannot verify the displacement. The dyno sheets indicate it's pushing 479HP/426 Lb-Ft torque at 5900 RPM. Clearly, the Brodix aluminum heads, Edelbrock aluminum intake, Holley 4BBL, Dougs Headers, and custom dual exhaust system help this mighty mouse breathe! This combo delivers the power and performance enthusiasts crave.
Further custom and performance touches include a custom aluminum radiator with twin electric fans, a CVF Black Diamond front of engine kit with serpentine accessory drive, adjustable coilover shocks at all 4 corners (Aldans up front, and QA1 out back), a McLeod hydraulic clutch and Lakewood scattershield. Out back, the Ford 9-inch rear end features an adjustable multilink setup, with Strange Engineering axles and Moser ring and pinion gears (ratio unknown).
Inside, the 1966 NOVA SS offers exceptional comfort and modern conveniences. A Dakota Digital retro gauge cluster provides a vintage look with modern accuracy for reporting key systems' status. The custom diamond-stitch leather seating (with power driver's seat) ensures a plush and adjustable driving experience (plus, the cabin has that very pleasing aroma that high-grade hides are known for). Adding to the driving pleasure is a Vintage Air HVAC system, keeping the cabin cool and comfortable on every journey. The chromed Flaming River tilt steering column with a billet wheel provides both style and ergonomic control, while the power steering with Flaming River rack ensures precise maneuverability.
Entertainment is at the forefront with a RetroSound AM/FM/XM radio equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to enjoy your favorite tunes and stay connected on the go. The power windows offer convenience and ease, seamlessly integrating modern amenities into this classic vehicle. Both front and rear occupants will appreciate the full-length center console, with its polished redwood insert and custom cupholders for all.
Safety and performance have been enhanced with nitrogen-pressurized power disc brakes featuring adjustable front/rear bias, and along with Wilwood calipers and drilled/slotted rotors, offer superior stopping power. The addition of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires and Cragar wheels not only boosts the vehicle's aesthetic appeal but also ensures a smooth and reliable ride.
This 1966 Chevrolet NOVA SS strikes a great balance between vintage charm and modern upgrades, making it an extraordinary choice for any classic car aficionado.

About Chevrolet Nova
The Chevy Nova is a compact car that was produced by Chevrolet from 1962 to 1979, and again from 1985 to 1988. While it was not initially marketed as a muscle car, it was offered with a range of powerful engines that made it a popular choice among enthusiasts.In particular, the Nova SS (Super Sport) was a high-performance version of the car that was equipped with a range of performance upgrades, including larger engines, heavy-duty suspension, and upgraded brakes. The most notable engine options included the 327 cubic inch V8 and the 396 cubic inch V8, both of which produced impressive horsepower figures.
The Nova SS was a popular choice for drag racing, and it became a symbol of the burgeoning muscle car scene in the 1960s. It was known for its simple and lightweight design, which made it a popular choice among racers looking to modify and tune their cars for maximum performance.
Today, the Chevy Nova is still a popular classic car, with enthusiasts drawn to its simple and stylish design, as well as its impressive performance capabilities. While it may not be as well-known as some of the more iconic muscle cars from the era, the Nova remains a significant part of American automotive history and a beloved classic among collectors and enthusiasts.
