1966 Chevrolet II Nova Resto-Mod
With Chevrolet’s rear-engined Corvair not catching on as the brand’s small passenger car, it became clear they needed to build a more conventional rival to Ford’s successful Falcon. Debuting in 1961, the Chevy II, later going by the name of its highest trim level “Nova” became an immediate success thanks to its small exterior dimensions, sizeable cabin and wide variety of engines. Thanks to its small size and light weight, these cars became beloved by racers and hot-rodders, as a large Chevrolet V8 could still fit under the hood - which made the car fantastically quick when paired with its small size. This 1966 Chevrolet II Nova has received the full resto-mod treatment with a ground up build, leaving no system untouched.
Finished in a stunning shade of bright red, the paint and body work on this car was completed to a very high quality and included shaving the chrome side trim, and adding a large cowl-induction hood. The chrome has all been refinished to a high standard on the bumpers, window trims and headlight surrounds, and an upgraded billet-style grille has been fitted. Speaking of billet, the car sits on a set of staggered Foose Knuckle wheels sized 17-inches in front and 18-inches in the rear with a perfect stance and great fitment in the wheel-wells.
The interior of the car is also completely custom with new leather on the power-adjustable front bucket seats and rear bench, along with a custom console down the middle. An exterior color-matched dashboard and door frames give a nice pop of color, as do the red embroidered Chevrolet bowties on the seat backs. Classic looking modern gauges have been fitted, as has a modern air conditioning system and upgraded stereo that sounds fantastic.
Sitting under the hood is a stout 383ci Chevrolet stroker V8 with aluminum heads and FiTech fuel injection. The car has also been fitted with an MSD distributor, and Hooker Super Competition headers leading to a full 2-inch exhaust. Open up the cowl induction hood and the engine bay looks stunning - color matched to the exterior with a largely shaved firewall and chrome or polished pieces everywhere including the valve covers, air cleaner, accessory drive and aluminum radiator topper. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with a B&M shifter in the cabin, and a narrowed Strange Fabrications 9-inch rear axle. The suspension has also been entirely overhauled with Heidts independent front suspension and rear 4-link setup with adjustable coilovers at all 4 corners. To slow the car down, 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes have been installed with an upgraded master cylinder in the engine bay.
This Chevy II is a classic American coupe that looks fantastic and, thanks to a sizeable list of upgrades, is an absolute joy to drive. With plenty of power, sharp handling and a wonderful sound, this is a car you will want to take out and drive - and when you do, you’ll stay comfortable thanks to the modern air conditioning and upgraded stereo system. If you are looking for a great, usable hot rod, don’t spend the time and money having your own built when this one is ready to be enjoyed!
