Vehicle Description
1968 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova Sedan
More than 183,000 Chevy II/Novas were produced in 1968 and as soon
as they started to become hand me down cars or populating used car
lots, people began modifying them to go faster. Their compact size,
(for the time), and easy workability made them great platforms for
alterations and personal preferences.
For consignment, a 1968 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova sedan with a title
verified 101,157 actual miles. This one doesn't stray from stock
appearance but has some very nice powerplant modifications that
resulted in a consignor estimated 350 horsepower. He's also proud
to say that this is as solid as you get for 57 years old, is
turnkey, and can be driven anywhere!
Exterior
Matador Red covers the car in two stage goodness from stem to
stern. Looking at the profile, the car's raked stance is helped by
the 15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels with staggered size tires, all
indicating this car might mean business, or at least is posing as
such. Twin faux vents on the hood add to the mystique and side exit
exhaust looks lean and mean. A black ribbed grille is surrounded by
very nice chrome trim and bumper and the headlights sit in a black
bezel, while the turn signals are down on the bumper. The rear view
was amazingly common back in the day, those simple tail lights over
a wide bumper contouring around the license plate. A polished
rocker panel is a wonderful accent that picks up on the wheels and
stainless window trim. The paint and metal are excellent, and only
a few bubbles in the paint veer from near perfection.
Interior
Standard fare inside with black vinyl door panels in a rather
conservative design, this was a commuter after all, and crank
windows were still prevalent. High back black vinyl bucket seats
occupy the front and are in great shape, taking on headrests for
extra height, while the back bench which is minty fresh. A 4 spoke
steering wheel opens up to the horizontal speedometer while an
added tach and triple status gauges sit lower. The dash, an AM
radio, and switchgear are all in good condition. The loop style
black carpet is topped with black carpeted mats and the headliner
is a bit wavy but intact. In the trunk, you could eat off the floor
as it's nearly showroom fresh.
Drivetrain
A clean 327ci V8 resides under the hood with chrome valve covers
and a polished alternator. It's packing a Crane Blueprint cam and
domed pistons, topped by an Edelbrock intake and Holley Street
Avenger 570cfm 4-barrel carburetor. A TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission sending power to a 10 bolt rear with a consignor
informed 3.73 gearing. This car is equipped with power disc brakes
in front and power drums in the rear. This set up is good for a
consignor estimated 350 horsepower.
Undercarriage
Uniformly flat black underneath and overall clean, there is minimal
surface rust and only wisps of residual oil about. Dual exhaust
runs from the headers through glasspack mufflers, then out the
sides in front of the rear wheels. Suspension consists of coil
springs up front and leaf springs out back.
Drive-Ability
The exhaust puts out a sweet tone and the 327 cubes eagerly push
forward with power that is obvious and on tap, and the raked stance
puts us on the hunt for red light warriors, although we're limited
to our test loop for now. Handling, braking, tracking all get good
marks, and all operational features are working as intended with
the exception of the horn. While Classic Auto Mall represents that
these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
You're not sneaking up on anyone with this bright red raked ride
and what once would have been a rather bland passenger car is now a
visually and auditorily loud car that is not shy about its ability
to go fast, look great, and dole out some power. It's well sorted
and in very nice condition and we know there are Nova lovers out
there who are salivating. Well, wipe your mouth and call the mall
before this turnkey opportunity gets away!
