1966 Chevrolet Nova For Sale In Houston

The striking maroon exterior is paired beautifully with a sophisticated tan interior to create a timeless and elegant aesthetic. This iconic model is powered by a potent Chevrolet Small Block V8 engine, which is backed by a 6-speed manual transmission. The SBC is reportedly a 391 CID stroker, based off a GM ZZ383, but we cannot verify the displacement. The dyno sheets indicate it's pushing 479HP/426 Lb-Ft torque at 5900 RPM. Clearly, the Brodix aluminum heads, Edelbrock aluminum intake, Holley 4BBL, Dougs Headers, and custom dual exhaust system help this mighty mouse breathe! This combo delivers the power and performance enthusiasts crave. Further custom and performance touches include a custom aluminum radiator with twin electric fans, a CVF Black Diamond front of engine kit with serpentine accessory drive, adjustable coilover shocks at all 4 corners (Aldans up front, and QA1 out back), a McLeod hydraulic clutch and Lakewood scattershield.

Inside, the 1966 Nova SS offers exceptional comfort and modern conveniences. A Dakota Digital retro gauge cluster provides a vintage look with modern accuracy for reporting key systems'...

Not only that, but it came from the factory as an F-code (Marina Blue) car with a blue bucket seat interior and its 4-speed manual transmission (L-code on cowl tag). This peppy Gasser-style Nova SS is set up just right for those weekends when you want to go vintage drag racing, or load it up to go win some trophies at the car show. Not that it's not street drivable, but with its 4. 10:1 rear axle gears, along with its 26x10. 50-15LT M&H Racemaster slicks and the wheelie bars out back, you'll certainly attract some unwanted attention from folks with badges and guns if you're out tooling around. There's a period correct 1966 L79 327 CID V8 (with correct ZI suffix on the block) under the...
