Vehicle Description
When GM introduced the Chevrolet Nova in the early 1960s, it was so
wildly popular that it was soon making inroads into the performance
car market. It wasn't long until Chevy responded by introducing the
Super Sport version, a spiffy little two-door hardtop with loads
and loads of curb appeal. This 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS is a nice
example of one of the early smaller-size muscle cars. This isn't a
clone. This isn't a tribute. This isn't a figment of your
imagination. This is the real deal. This is a true V8 SS, a bona
fide 18-code car from the factory. Get ready. You're about to be
impressed in a big way.
Though not the original factory color, the teal finish found on
this machine matches up amazingly well with the boxy shape and
well-defined lines of the '67 Nova. The paint job was applied back
in the 1990s but still has a remarkably vibrant look. Multi-colored
pin striping adequately accentuates the entire exterior. The
bumpers and the chrome trim are intact and shining brightly, while
a power antenna on the rear adds a little something extra to the
cosmetics. The car even displays the correct "Nova SS" badges that
were added to the line in '67. A look inside the engine bay and
underneath the car finds everything extremely clean and
well-appointed. This Super Sport looks so amazing that it leaves
you smiling to yourself as you wonder where the mild-mannered
street car ends and the manhandling muscle machine begins. The car
maintains a good solid stance punctuated by the sheer beauty of a
set of wheels from Colorado Custom, the same company that
manufactured the dynamic-looking steering wheel that sets the tone
for the interior.
Diamond-pleated vinyl seats front and back add a measure of
elegance while serving as the centerpiece for a beautiful black
interior. A B&M shifter and tachometer are both integrated into
the console area, while a three-gauge instrument cluster hangs
beneath the dash. Tilt steering and an AM/FM radio with CD player
are among the other amenities found here. You will really
appreciate the overall condition of the interior. The upholstery is
still in good shape with that soft luxurious feel. The painted
surfaces look really nice. The trim, knobs and buttons are in good
condition and the instruments and gauges are clear and legible.
This interior has obviously been well-preserved.
That old adage about sticking with what works is never more evident
than with the drive train choices found in this little street
stormer. The gold standard combination of a small block 350 and TH
350 automatic transmission provide the primary motivation. The
engine has been massaged with a few classic add-ons like a Weiand
aluminum intake, Edelbrock carb, electronic ignition and headers. A
moderate street cam has been added to give a little broader range
to the power curve. It's had a recent valve job, so there's plenty
of compression there. Nail the throttle on this machine, and you'll
feel the rush from head to toe! The transmission has been rebuilt
and fine-tuned with a shift kit, enabling it to move through the
gears like clockwork. A recently-serviced 10-bolt positive traction
rear end is fitted with a 3.73 gear. Immensely popular across the
board, that ratio has long been recognized as the ultimate balance
of performance and drivability. And a nice set of traction bars
underneath give it a little extra grip on take-off. And when it's
time to stop, power disc brakes up front bring this car safely to a
halt.
This 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS is a most compelling automobile. It is
one of those classic street machines that easily adapts to almost
any situation. Car show. Cruise in. Road trip. A day at the local
drag strip. Or a quick run to the corner store. This is a beautiful
car that can provide miles and miles of pleasure. Call today!
