1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Tribute – 327 Small Block V8 4 Speed Manual Tilt Wheel

Few cars capture the raw, lightweight muscle of the mid-'60s quite like the Chevrolet Nova. This 1966 Nova SS Tribute embodies that spirit perfectly — a meticulously presented example finished in a stunning red, dressed with the right chrome, stance, and a powertrain that backs up its looks. It's a compact street machine built to thrill both on the open road and under the show lights. The exterior of this Nova instantly commands attention with its vivid red finish that glows under the lights. The paint lays smoothly across the straight body panels, showcasing excellent fitment along the doors, hood, and deck lid. Chrome bumpers, bright window trim, and the polished side mirror add a period-correct gleam, complementing the muscle-era styling lines. Sitting on a set of classic chrome Cragar SS wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, the stance is pure nostalgia — aggressive yet balanced. From the crisp Super Sport badging to the detailed trunk and underbody presentation, this Nova's exterior captures the look of a high-quality build with enduring collector appeal.
Inside, the cabin stays true to the Nova's factory-inspired simplicity, finished in black vinyl bucket seats that maintain their original pattern and comfort. The interior shows careful attention to authenticity, from the clean door panels and headliner to the center console and original-style steering wheel.
Instrumentation remains clear and functional, highlighted by the horizontal speedometer and classic switchgear. The carpeting and seat padding present in excellent condition, creating a tight, well-kept interior environment. Every inch of the cabin speaks to quality — the kind that makes you want to slide behind the wheel and drive.
Under the hood, this Nova lives up to its SS heritage with a 327 V8 with Double Hump Heads dressed in polished aluminum and chrome finishes. Performance upgrades include an Edelbrock aluminum intake, four-barrel carburetor, and MSD ignition system, all working together to deliver reliable street performance with that unmistakable Chevy rumble. Power routes through an Four Speed Manual transmission and the 10 Bolt Rear End to the rear wheels, ensuring smooth cruising and quick acceleration. The engine bay is detailed and show-ready, featuring chrome valve covers, a finned air cleaner, and modern accessories that blend performance and presentation. This driveline setup delivers the ideal balance of classic muscle and modern drivability — a combination collectors and enthusiasts love.
This 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Tribute blends vintage looks, modern reliability, and show-car detailing into one cohesive package.
