My affinity for automotive craftsmanship transcends brand loyalty, though my heart undoubtedly races for Chevrolet Novas. This particular 1967 model, a quintessential example of the second generation, has undergone a stunning metamorphosis into a Pro-Touring masterpiece.
Fresh from a meticulous build process, this Nova boasts a mere 300 miles on its odometer, a testament to the builder’s recent completion. The car’s exterior, draped in a unique Space Gray Pear finish reminiscent of BMWs, is a departure from the expected. Custom air intakes and subtle LED rear lighting add contemporary flair without compromising the classic Nova silhouette.
The liberal use of gleaming chrome on the bumpers, wheels, and trim elevates the car’s visual impact, creating a harmonious blend of old-school charm and modern sophistication. It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of the Nova as a platform for automotive artistry.
This Pro-Touring Chevy Nova is a harmonious blend of classic elegance and raw power. Its cabin, draped in a sophisticated black hue, offers modern comfort with Lexus electric bucket seats.
The driver’s domain is a symphony of vintage and modern, featuring Classic Instruments gauges, a tilt steering column, and a Lokar shifter that commands the heart of this beast: a 502 cubic-inch big block engine. Exhausting through a custom MagnaFlow system, the engine’s power is channeled through a Fab 9 positraction rear end, gripping the road with authority.
A TCI coilover suspension system and substantial Wilwood power disc brakes ensure this Nova handles as aggressively as it looks, its stance accentuated by staggered Boze Traction wheels.
Destined for the auction block at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale Fall event in October as part of the Laymon Collection, this Nova is a prime example of Pro-Touring excellence.
