1967 Chevrolet Nova

1967 Chevrolet Nova Hardtop Seems as though the simplest things become the most complicated. Exception, this one. Chevy II by Chevrolet. Simple, straight forward, and sure. Reliable, economical Chevrolet engines, bolt on fenders, self cleaning rocker panels. The whole car is engineered clean, sweet, simple to help uncomplicate your life beautifully and give you that sure feeling of Chevrolet. Chevy II, the stylish economy car, by Chevrolet. Script from the 1967 television commercial which follows a white Chevy II through bucolic country roads. For consignment, a 1967 Chevrolet Nova hardtop with a title verified 102,769 actual miles. This black on red stunner was born like many Novas at the time, with an inline six cylinder maxing out at 155 horsepower. Today, it packs a date-correct 327ci V8 just like the SS version would have carried. Exterior Miles deep Tuxedo Black paint finely coats this car with two stage perfection, augmented by subtle trim down the side of the car and across the decklid where a red Chevrolet crest pops some color between the vertical tail lights. In pure 60's fashion, right angles and straight edges are everywhere including the rear bumper, the fender edges, and the grated grille. Round headlights designed with a slight fender overhang are surrounded by a bezel that mimics the grille design making the front seem like one continuous unit. 14-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels have reflective trim rings and are wrapped in light staggered tires with an early 2019 date code. There's a 327 call out on the front fenders, Nova Chevy II on the rears, and Chevy II on the decklid. A single incidence of bubbling is the only exterior flaw and along with the paint, the chrome is in fantastic condition. Interior Bright red painted framing surrounds the darker red vinyl door cards that are neat, clean, and without flaw, and the split bench also utilizes red vinyl with horizontal stitch patterns with both the split bench up front and rear bench presenting cleanly. So far, there's nothing that would exclude this car from any car show anywhere! 60's simplicity extends to the steering wheel of this common commuter car of the day, a bright red unit with the horn configured in the center metal piece that covers the three spokes. From there, the clean dash has a horizontal speedometer showing some slight patina, and an AM radio in the center part of the bright red dash, while a few gauges have been added under the dash. Red loop carpet covers the floor, bright red plastic lines the footwells, and yes, a red headliner is up above, all in very good condition. The trunk is barren, black, and clean. Drivetrain A chrome alternator and valve covers dress up the date- correct 327ci V8, topped by a 4-barrel carburetor and mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic with power routed to the 10 bolt rear axle. The engine is show worthy but not over the top with chrome and color. Just good clean fun! Undercarriage Whistle clean underneath with no errant fluids nor rust to speak of. The dual exhaust comes from headers, runs through Thrush mufflers, then exits tastefully behind each rear wheel. Drum brakes are on all four wheels and suspension consists of coil springs up front and leaf springs in back. Drive-Ability The 327 comes to life with a healthy growl and we move the column shifter to Drive and roll through the test loop, crossing our fingers that she runs as well as she looks. And for the most part, she does! Handling well and providing good power. We note the car pulls the right and the horn, radio, and reverse lights are not functioning. All other items on board work as they should and our short ride is regrettably over. 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. More than 100,000 Novas were produced in 1967 with nearly 1/3 of them in the configuration this one was born with
