The 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS is a classic American muscle car with a special place in automotive history. Known for its sleek design, powerful performance, and excellent handling, the Nova SS became an icon of the late 1960s era.

The 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS featured a compact and muscular design, characteristic of the era’s muscle cars. It was based on the second-generation Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova platform and came only in a two-door hardtop body style.  The front end of the Nova SS featured a distinctive grille flanked by single headlights on either side. The SS badging was prominently displayed on the grille and other parts of the car, indicating its Super Sport trim level. The hood often had a simulated air intake scoop, adding to the performance-oriented look.

The rear of the car featured narrow rectangular taillights and the “Nova SS” badge, denoting its status as a high-performance model.   Inside, the Nova SS boasted a driver-focused cabin with bucket seats and a center console, adding to the car’s sporty and comfortable feel. The dashboard was designed with clear and easy-to-read gauges, providing essential information to the driver. The SS model also offered various optional features, including air conditioning, power windows, and a custom sport steering wheel, enhancing the driving experience.

The true essence of the 1967 Nova SS lay under the hood, where it housed powerful engines for its time. Buyers could choose between different engine options, with the most sought-after being the 327 cubic inch (5.4-liter) V8 engine. Depending on the specific version, this engine could generate around 275 to 350 horsepower, delivering impressive performance on the road. The example featured in this auction features its numbers-matching 195 horsepower, 283 cubic inch “Turbo Fire” small block V8.

Transmission options included a 3-speed manual, 4-speed manual, or 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. With its lightweight body and potent engine choices, the Nova SS could achieve remarkable acceleration and deliver thrilling driving dynamics.  The Nova SS came with a well-tuned suspension system that balanced ride comfort and handling prowess. The front suspension utilized independent coil springs, while the rear featured a solid axle with leaf springs, ensuring stability and control during spirited driving.

The 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS was an integral part of the muscle car movement of the late 1960s. It captured the hearts of enthusiasts and car lovers, who appreciated its combination of style, performance, and affordability. Even today, the Nova SS remains a popular choice among collectors and automotive enthusiasts, with well-preserved examples commanding a premium price in the classic car market.
