Well restored, well upgraded in the engine department, and nicely done interior, we have a runner, and a gunner. All fun actions were working at this time. On track I experienced smooth acceleration, bias free panic stopping, and nice tight cornering. I felt like a superstar behind this wheel in this excellent interior. Power drum brakes are also on all 4 corners.Ī quick fire up and warmup and off to the test track. Also we note independent coil springs for the front, and leaf springs for the back. Appears to have been powder coated, and some previous repairs are looking well done. Like new with no surface rust to be seen all buttoned up and shiny. The rear axle is a 12-bolt 3.55 posi setup. On the back is a 4-speed manual transmission which the consigner says is a Muncie M22. All this with a bowtie orange/red block, and chromed valve covers and an Edelbrock air cleaner covering in chrome. On top is a Weiand intake manifold, and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. A flip of the hood confirms that it is a V8, however, not the cubic inches, which remains consigner states. The consigner states that a 355ci V8 is now on board under the hood. The headliner is nice and tight and showing in black vinyl. Black carpeting in good condition floods the floors, and nicely embroidered floor mats are above the original carpeting. An original steering wheel is fronting this clean dash, and a trio of aftermarket gauges are hanging below the center of this dash. The instruments and radio are within this aluminum center. Upfront a simple angled dash using padded black vinyl on top and an aluminum panel through the center, with more black metal below. The rear bench matches these buckets in its style and pattern. White piping is also surrounding these seats. Inside we note very well done, like new bucket seats with some black tuck and roll bolsters, a smooth mid panel and a white stripe of vinyl cutting through the smooth center panels. Black painted metal makes up the sills of these doors. Below is another pristine bumper.īreaking up the black shiny vinyl on each door is a chromed T which delineates the panels one housing the armrest, door pull, and the other, door actuator and window crank. A nicely curved back glass meets up with the trunk lid and rolls rearward to a trim piece which runs between the taillights and highlights the rear of the lid. This runs through the doors and to the rear quarters which support vertical taillights and backup lights placed on top of each other. Just above the trimmed wheel well in front is a small “fold” in the metal, which is a built in trim spear, but remains the body color. A nice black vinyl top covering is noted, and it is surrounded by nice trimmings around the glass. Painted in Marina Blue, straight steel panels, great trim, and chrome, and shiny Chevrolet rally rims, (14 x 6 front and 15 x 7 rear), are seen on this very original looking simple but elegant grocery getter. For consignment, a 1967 with some of that zapped power put back in with double hump heads, a rock crusher transmission, flame thrower electronic distributor and Flowmaster dual exhaust. Though its power had been diminished in 1967, it was still a quick car that would become quicker as the years wore on. Really, it was somewhere in between the pony car and muscle car class. 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. Optional front disc brakes were made available for the first time. The Nova SS got a new black accented grille. The high powered Turbo Fire 327ci V8 that had been introduced the previous year as the top-of-the-line engine option was discontinued for 1967.
