1967 Chevrolet II Nova 

“Up with good looks. Down with high prices. The stylish economy car” said the 1967 Nova sales brochure.  The Nova SS got a new black accented grille.  Optional front disc brakes were made available for the first time.  With the introduction of the Turbo-Fire engine in 1966, the Nova SS had snuck its way into a muscle car label, despite its small stature.  Really, it was somewhere in between the pony car and muscle car class. Though its power had been diminished in 1967, it was still a quick car that would become quicker as the years wore on.

For consignment, a 1967 Nova with some of that zapped power put back in with some boring and stroking mill magic added in, and an overall great looker.  A 2-owner car…Read onward!

Exterior
Painted in Autumn Mist Metallic, straight steel panels, great trim, and chrome, and shiny Chevrolet rally rims, (14 x 6 front and 14 x 7 rear) ,are seen on this very original looking simple but elegant grocery getter.  Most of the exterior work was done at the 44,000 mile mark, and I can note well done, with very nicely applied paint, well minded gaps, and time well spent on the polishing of the chrome.  I would not go so far as to say frame off, however it truly is a restoration that was meticulously performed.  A unique NOVA look with egg crate grille, single headlight, a trim spear running the gamut of the sides, and a squared off rear.  All nicely proportioned and a wonderfully sloping rear glass.  We are off to the races!

Interior
A 1971 Oldsmobile was the donor for the interior seating, which presents nicely in black vinyl with gold piping.  New carpet, also in black and refurbished door panels with this work being performed in 1993.  An A/C system with R134A refrigerant blows cold and works sufficiently even on the hottest day.  Plenty of new gauges like a steering column mounted tachometer, and vacuum gauge, along with a trio of under dash gauges which include oil pressure, water temp, and battery volts.  An AM/FM/Cassette radio is on and looking retro.  The headliner is tight and the dash is all straight and true with no cracks or dulling.  A custom rear interior deck sports a bow tie logo and stitched “Deuces Wild” within.

Drivetrain
The restored 331ci comes from a 327ci mill which has been bored .30 over, and it has been decked.  A polished steel crank, 202 fuelie heads with roller rockers,  stainless steel valves, hardened valve seats, new guides, reconditioned rods and a 350 cam with .447 I&E lift have all been added.  This is a performer to say the least.  Topped by a 600cfm Holley dual plane intake and backed by a 700R4 rebuilt 4-speed automatic transmission with a Best shift kit with converter.  A 1200rpm stall converter is installed in front of the shift column and has an adjustable converter lockup dial.  Hedman headers start to snake their way past the mill and send spent fossils to a Borla equipped dual exhaust system.

Undercarriage
Like new with no surface rust to be seen…all buttoned up and shiny.  A very nice job underneath.  Front Wilwood disc brakes and rear drums all pumped with brake fluid from a Wilwood master cylinder provide the whoah factory and independent coil springs in front and on back, leaf springs with Caltracs bars provide the ride.  All new spring bushings are also recently installed. 

Drive-Ability
Nice Driver, wonderful limitless acceleration, and solid bias free panic stopping are just a few of the driver's highlights for this test drive.  All in perfect working condition including all functions and conveniences.  I could see all this through the tire smoke!

Well restored, well upgraded in the engine department, and nicely done interior, we have a runner, and a gunner.  If you are looking for a smaller muscle car classic this one is truly a wild deuce!
