Chevrolet Nova 406 Small Block 1968
General description :
For sale at Gateway Classic Cars in our St. Louis showroom is a 1968 Chevrolet Nova. This beautiful Nova has a lot going for it. Big power comes from a large displacement small block, 406 cubes! It sounds so good! Tuned Hooker Headers and 3 inch Flow Master mufflers make for a great rumble. Helping make good power comes from a set of Weiand Heads, roller rockers and a Weiand single plane intake manifold with a Holley 770 Street Avenger carburetor. This built engine is sending power through a stout TH 400 automatic transmission and back to a 10 bolt rear end housing an Eaton posi carrier with 3.08:1 rear gears for hitting the open road. Slowing things down is no trouble thanks to four wheel disc brakes and modern high performance rubber. The car was totally disassembled and stripped to bare metal. The paint is slick and Hugger Orange. Breaking up a bit of the orange is a set of dark gray SS stripes and gray 17 inch Coys aluminum wheels. The ride height is just right thanks to 2 inch dropped spindles. It has all new weather stripping, door seals, new bumpers, and a nonfunctional cowl hood. 1968 was a big year for the Chevy II Nova. In 1968 and previous years, Nova was a sub model given to hardtop Chevy II’s lacking the “B” pillar. In 1969 all will be Novas and Chevy II dropped all together. 1968 was a major redesign and became a very popular car for the muscle car scene. Yenko even threw his name on a few called the Yenko Nova Deuce. The Yenko Nova Deuce cars bring big money, but we’re betting that you can have just as much fun for a fraction of the price with this sweetie. A few noteworthy details for this Hugger Orange Nova include, Hot Rod air conditioning and heat, aluminum radiator, transmission cooler, new fuel tank and sending unit, a new custom gauge cluster fitted with Auto Meter gauges, recent carpet, side panels, package tray headliner and seat covers. The dash pad is original and in good condition. This 68' Nova is ready for a new owner to enjoy it at local shows and cruises for years to come.

About Chevrolet Nova
The Chevy Nova is a compact car that was produced by Chevrolet from 1962 to 1979, and again from 1985 to 1988. While it was not initially marketed as a muscle car, it was offered with a range of powerful engines that made it a popular choice among enthusiasts.In particular, the Nova SS (Super Sport) was a high-performance version of the car that was equipped with a range of performance upgrades, including larger engines, heavy-duty suspension, and upgraded brakes. The most notable engine options included the 327 cubic inch V8 and the 396 cubic inch V8, both of which produced impressive horsepower figures.
The Nova SS was a popular choice for drag racing, and it became a symbol of the burgeoning muscle car scene in the 1960s. It was known for its simple and lightweight design, which made it a popular choice among racers looking to modify and tune their cars for maximum performance.
Today, the Chevy Nova is still a popular classic car, with enthusiasts drawn to its simple and stylish design, as well as its impressive performance capabilities. While it may not be as well-known as some of the more iconic muscle cars from the era, the Nova remains a significant part of American automotive history and a beloved classic among collectors and enthusiasts.
