1969 Chevrolet Nova

This 1969 Chevrolet Nova two-door hardtop is a performance-upgraded muscle car that receives power from a 383ci stroker V8 paired with a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. It comes dressed as a Super Sport tribute with upgrades including an aluminum radiator, an MSD ignition system, 17-inch American Racing wheels, and a custom exhaust system. Finished in black with silver accent striping over a black vinyl interior, this Nova is now offered with a clear Georgia title in the seller’s name.

Offered in the compact segment beginning in 1962, the Chevy II – later known under just the Nova name – rode on the General Motors X-body platform and used semi-unibody construction. A variety of body styles were available including sedans, hardtops, convertibles, and station wagons. Subsequent redesigns were carried out in 1966 and 1968, when the Nova received an all-new body with a softened side profile and tapered rear with horizontal taillamps. This Nova two-door hardtop from 1969 was refinished in black with silver accent striping, SS branding, and brightwork accents.

Polished aluminum 17-inch front and 18-inch rear American Racing wheels are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires. Braking is provided by rear drums coupled with front discs using cross-drilled and slotted rotors.

The cabin is fitted with black vinyl bucket front seats, matched to the door panels, padded dash, carpeting, headliner, and rear bench. Features include an SS-branded steering wheel, a radio, and floor mats.  

Vehicle information is communicated through a horizontal 120-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, and auxiliary under-dash pods with an 8K-rpm tachometer and readouts for other vehicle systems. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 7K miles, although true mileage on the chassis is unknown.

The 383ci stroker V8 has been upgraded with an MSD ignition system, an aluminum radiator, a rear-mounted battery, and a custom exhaust system with an X-pipe. Power is fed to the rear wheels via a column-shifted 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission with a 3,000-rpm-stall torque converter.

The seller has provided videos of the car with additional details, including a demonstration of the car idling.
