The Chevrolet Nova still has plenty of fans around the world, and since it’s really not that easy to find one and use it as a daily driver these days, the virtual version available in Gran Turismo Sport is the next best thing for all these people.
But the best of all is that the GTS version itself can be further customized to look more like the original version, and what better way to do the whole thing than adding a bit of rust to give it a barn find-ish look and feel?

The design that you see here is actually a Gran Turismo Sport livery that you can download and use in the racing game without any cost. Published on the GTS website by hi-de-ride, the livery is more of a skin that can be applied on the Chevrolet Nova and then enabled in the game.

Barn find designs are actually among the most popular among Grand Turismo Sport fans, and you can find plenty of them in the official collection of liveries online. And of course, if nothing meets your expectations, you can always create your own livery in Gran Turismo, although designing something that’s as nicely done as this livery isn’t something that many people can do.

The ’67 Chevy Nova available in Gran Turismo is actually a tuned model designed by Chris Holstrom Concepts. The car first showed up in update 1.10 and it can be purchased right now in the game for 300,000 credits.

This model features a 6.2-liter engine, the same one powering the old Corvette ZR1 but modified to develop no less than 732 horsepower. And given it’s a tuned car, it also comes with a series of other upgrades, including new brakes and 18-inch wheels on the front and 19-inch on the back. The design has remained mostly unchanged, so most of the tuning took place under the hood.
