1966 Chevrolet Nova

MaxMotive is proud to present this beautifully built 1966 Chevrolet Nova Restomod. This striking example perfectly blends classic Nova styling with the performance, handling, and reliability of a modern drivetrain. Under the hood sits a 6.0L LS engine paired with a 4L60E automatic transmission, offering smooth shifts and plenty of power for both street and highway driving.

The engine bay is neatly detailed and highly finished, featuring custom sheet-metal inner fenders, Eddie Motorsports billet hood hinges with gas struts, an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, a billet overflow tank, and a custom cold-air intake. Long-tube headers feed a 2.75-inch custom exhaust with V-band clamps, Flowmaster mufflers, and polished rectangular tips that exit cleanly in front of the rear wheels.

Handling and braking have been modernized with full tubular front and rear suspension, Ridetech adjustable coilovers, Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes, and a Wilwood master cylinder with adjustable proportioning valve. The car sits on polished American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels—18-inch fronts wrapped in 235/40ZR18 tires and 20-inch rears wrapped in 275/35ZR20 tires. A Ford 9-inch rear end and mini-tubbed rear wheel housings complete the aggressive stance.

Inside, the Nova retains a clean, classic appearance. The stock seats have been re-covered in new black vinyl, complemented by black carpet and a billet three-spoke steering wheel with a leather wrap. A Dakota Digital dash provides modern instrumentation, while the original AM radio and dash-mounted HVAC controls remain in place for a vintage touch. The car features manual crank windows, chrome bumpers, and bright trim to round out its timeless appeal.

This 1966 Chevrolet Nova Restomod is a well-sorted, thoughtfully built example that captures the best of both worlds, classic style and modern performance. It’s ready to enjoy on the street or show circuit with the quality and attention to detail you expect from a MaxMotive offering.
