327-Powered 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova SS Sport Coupe 4-Speed

Description

Introduced for 1966, the Chevy II Nova SS combined Chevrolet’s compact dimensions with increasingly serious performance potential. Lightweight, simple, and highly adaptable, the second-generation Nova has become one of the hobby’s most respected foundations for custom street builds, equally at home as a restored factory example or a thoughtfully upgraded cruiser.

This 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova SS Sport Coupe was assembled at Chevrolet's Norwood, Ohio, assembly plant. Refinished in white over a custom two-tone red and beige interior, the car is powered by a 327ci V8 paired with a Muncie four-sped manual transmission with a hydraulically assisted clutch.

Performance upgrades include a Holley Performance Demon four-barrel carburetor, polished aluminum intake manifold, GM "double-hump" cylinder heads, headers, a billet air cleaner assembly, polished billet valve covers, and a Griffin aluminum radiator with an electric cooling fan.

Beyond the drivetrain, the Nova features a shaved and detailed engine compartment, a relocated trunk-mounted battery, traction bars, custom dual exhaust, Vintage Air climate control, AutoMeter retro-style instrumentation, a Billet Specialties steering wheel, a Sony CD head unit, and 15-inch American Racing wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle redline tires. Chassis upgrades include a Heidts Super Ride independent front suspension with stainless tubular control arms, Flaming River rack-and-pinion steering, and front disc brakes paired with rear drums.

This modified 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova SS Sport Coupe is now offered with a clean Michigan title.

Servicing

From the seller: "I do not have extensive history on the vehicle, as I purchased it largely as it sits today. During my ownership, I replaced the battery in 2026 and believe the wiring harness was replaced in 2024. I was also told the car originally came from Georgia, although I do not have documentation to verify that information."

Known Imperfections

• Driver-side window crank handle needs to be secured

• Cosmetic imperfections consistent with age and use since refurbishment

Ownership History

This SS is now offered with a clean Michigan title.

From the seller, “I love the car, but it is time for me to separate myself from it as I get older. There are only a few very minor items that are of no concern.”
