The second-generation Nova marked Chevrolet's transition from economy car to legitimate muscle car contender. Built on the compact Chevy II platform, the '66-'67 Nova could be optioned with anything from a mild 194-cubic-inch inline-six to the legendary L79 327 small-block producing 350 horsepower. What makes these Novas particularly appealing to collectors is their sleeper status—clean, understated styling that could embarrass much flashier competition at the strip. The SS package added distinctive badging and performance upgrades, but even base models with V8s delivered serious punch. Production was healthy, making parts availability decent, though clean, original examples are increasingly scarce. The '66 introduced the Nova nameplate permanently, while '67 brought refined styling details. Today's collectors appreciate these cars for their affordability compared to Chevelles and Camaros, plus their potential for modification. A well-preserved L79 car commands serious money, but solid drivers remain accessible entry points into the muscle car hobby.
