The ’66 Nova was part of the second-generation model manufactured for just two years until 1967, and introduced several styling upgrades borrowed from the Super Nova concept, including a new grille and a fastback-inspired roofline supposed to offer a sportier feel.
The car was offered in four body styles, namely 2-door sedan and hardtop, and 4-door sedan and station wagon, with the top-of-the-line version remaining the Nova SS.
The wagon you see here was one of the Novas manufactured in 1966, but as you can easily figure out by simply browsing the photo gallery, it was part of a major transformation that eventually brought upgrades in almost every single area.
The folks over at Survivor Classic Car, the garage in charge of finding a new owner for this Nova restomod, claim the purpose of adding only a bunch of improvements to the stock body was to obtain a muscle car look. This is why the restomod package included only a few exterior modifications, such as a cowl hood, a new front spoiler, tinted windows, and 17-inch Rev wheels.
The tweaks under the hood of the Chevy, however, are the ones that received much more attention, and it all starts with the 5.3-liter V8 engine paired to a 4L60E automatic transmission. Driven for just 614 miles (988 km) since the restomod treatment was completed, the engine works together with other mechanical upgrades, including Larry's Electric harness, a Holley oil pan, CPP exhaust manifolds, and a Mustang II front end from CPP with tubular upper and lower control arms.
The interior has also received plenty of goodies, and the driver will be spoiled with a new custom center console, blue vinyl bucket seats, an audio system with a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer, custom Dakota Digital gauges, and a Vintage Air climate system.
Overall, this ’66 Nova clearly hides a lot of surprises behind its almost stock body, but like all good things in life, these upgrades obviously come at a price. You can buy the car today for $31,995.
