History Of The Chevy Nova II:
The third generation of the Chevrolet Chevy II Nova would come in
1968 with an all new redesign and styling upgrades. 1968 would also
be the last year the model would carry the Chevy II designation and
would later become just Nova. This change made the 1968 model
uniquely badged inside and out. The chassis would grow to 111
inches and utilize a sub-frame front end suspension system for the
first time. This allowed for better road manners and a lighter
overall platform. The Chevy II Nova would be offered in a 2-door
post Coupe, Hatchback, and 4-door Sedan with 15 different engine
options, including the Super Sport Performance Package.
About Our Available Pontiac Chevy II Nova For Sale:
Offered here is a beautifully restored 1968 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova
Coupe finished in gorgeous Lime Green Metallic with Black vinyl
roof over a Black Vinyl bench seat interior. This outstanding
example has been treated to a very comprehensive nut and bolt
restoration completed between 2006 and 2008. It features a
professionally rebuilt 427ci V8 4-bolt main V8, 4-speed manual
transmission, and 3.55:1 Posi- Traction! Other options include
power front disc brakes, power steering, headrests, front and rear
seatbelts, dual outside mirrors, Panasonic AM/FM/CD audio system
with upgraded speakers, SunPro instrumentation with tachometer, and
14" rally wheels with slightly staggered Uniroyal raised white
letter tires measuring 215/70R14 up front and 225/70R14 at the
rear.
Beginning with a 6-cylinder Chevy II Nova, this example was
completely stripped to its foundation in April 2006. By May, any
and all rusted areas were removed and replaced with new metal
panels supplied through Gateway Reproductions. This included new
full length interior floor panels, new 3-piece trunk pan, trunk
drop-offs, rocker panels, rear quarter panels, front fenders, and
new replacement 2" cowl style hood. This particular example was
literally rebuilt from the ground up to ensure owner confidence for
years to come! An eye-catching Nova that would be carefully primed
and block sanded before receiving 4 base coats of Lime Green
Metallic urethane base-coat, as well as, 3 coats of clear. It is
superbly smooth with high gloss!
The front chassis would be fully rebuilt with new cross member, big
block engine mounts, coils springs, all new disc brake components,
and suspension equipment. The 427ci V8 would be completely rebuilt
using 9.5:1 compression pistons and rings, performance camshaft,
all new bearings and gaskets, 4-barrel carburetor, long tube
headers, 2.5" dual exhaust system, Griffin aluminum 3-row
performance radiator with new water pump, Pertronix Ignitor solid
state ignition system, rebuilt starter and alternator, along with
an all new engine wiring harness. A Hurst Competition Plus shifter
was fitted to the 4-speed Saginaw transmission along with a
Centerforce dual friction clutch kit, all new fuel tank, fuel
lines, brakes lines, sub-frame connectors, multi-leaf rear springs,
new KYB shocks, rebuilt 10-bolt rear differential by Ron's Machine
Service with Factory 10 axles featuring �" lugs and an Auburn 3.55
Posi-traction gear set were all fitted! A truly outstanding
performance platform hides underneath this rather unsuspecting Nova
that would make even Yenko Chevrolet proud.
New chrome bumpers were installed, all new window gaskets and
seals, door and trunk weather stripping, side marker and taillight
lenses and bezels; all new interior from the carpet to the
headliner, new dash pad, door panels and handles, seat-belts, and
far too much more to list. Since completion, the same proud owner
has added less than 3,000 miles to his cherished Chevy II Nova,
using it for cruise nights and summer car shows only. In 2018, the
engine was enhanced even further with the addition of the Edelbrock
Performer RPM 540hp top end kit! This kit includes new Edelbrock
Rolling Thunder camshaft, push rods, aluminum heads and air gap
intake, and timing chain. A new Quick Fuel Technologies (QFT)
Brawler 750cfm double pumper carburetor was selected. At that same
time, the brake system received a new brake booster and master
cylinder along with an air pump for optimum vacuum pressure.
You would be hard pressed to build a better Nova, especially
compared at the price this stellar example is offered at today! It
is a real head turner at shows with gleaming paint under the sun,
and certainly gets noticed going down the street. Act quickly GM
fans! If you don't already have a Nova in your collection, trust us
when we say that they don't get too much better than this!
