During the first quarter of the year, GM's Chevrolet posted a rollercoaster of sales – its Silverado series was the second-best-selling nameplate in America after Ford's F-Series, while the sixth-generation Camaro was one of its worst performers ever.
Chevrolet's Silverado surged 2.4% to almost 130k examples, and the US automaker also had the compact Equinox crossover SUV soar by an identical 2.4% (over 54k units, 13th), plus the mid-size Malibu sedan, almost ending the Top 20 in 19th position. However, we didn't expect to see a Chevy Nameplate barely move a little more than 1k vehicles per month – its sixth-generation Camaro, which is now defunct, sold just 3,574 examples during the first three months of the year.
That's a massive 54% drop, and it is no wonder that people are gunning for the more expensive C8 Corvette (over 8.5k sales) or sticking to their older Chevy and reworking it as many times as possible. In fact, even the Chevy Nova isn't a subject of jokes ('no va' means it doesn't work in Spanish) anymore. Instead, the Chevrolet Chevy II / Nova line, produced in five generations between 1962 and 1979 and then from 1985 to 1988, has become a darling of everyone.
As it turns out, one can be passionate about the marvelous world of quarter-mile dragstrip racing or the imaginative realm of digital car content creators – it doesn't matter; they'll still find something common in their love for Chevy's Nova. But there's no need to take our word for granted. Here's an eloquent example from Mike Dog, an author of "bloody renders," aka _mikedog_ on social media, who has gone back to the future of vintage US muscle cars with this CGI-to-reality preview.
His fifth commission is a 1969 Chevrolet Nova called "The Drag Strip General." Zach Stoltz of DetailTech LLC has a passion for racing, and his current ride is an orange-black '69 Nova "built for one thing: drag racing." However, according to the pixel master, he's "gearing up for a major overhaul" even though the car is already a sight to behold. Still, the owner is "not content with just turning heads; he wants jaws to drop."
As such, the huge makeover presented here in these preview renderings will include a custom bulging hood, new bumper splitter plus lower spoiler, a fresh rear wing, and the pixel master (and our) favorite idea – the headlights, which look like modern LEDs with wind blades embedded within aren't lighting units anymore. Instead, they were swapped with twin turbos! That's a highly creative idea and a subtle one on this 1969 Chevy Nova SS – everything else is preposterous, including the asymmetric front exhaust outlets, the desert/forest camouflage paint, and the aero work.
Apparently, the owner is still on the fence about the wheels, but the CGI expert has already proposed Weld Magnum wheels. So, what do you think? Will it cause mayhem at the local quarter-mile dragstrip?
