| The Chevrolet Nova SS represented Chevrolet’s entry into the compact budget muscle car battle. The Nova SS began life in 1962 as the meek Chevy II but was soon made into a legitamate giant killer in 1964 with the availablity of its first V8. It would soon adopt all the engines available in the Camaro including the mighty 375bhp 396 V8. This all added up to the ultimate sleeper, as well as the true reflection of budget performance.
The 1967 Chevy Nova SS
1967 saw no major changes except for the addition of optional front disc brakes which came with beautiful slotted wheels. The introduction of the Chevrolet Camaro resulted in the deletion of the mighty L79 in the Chevrolet Nova. However, the L79 still made it into a few Nova SS and they made for startling performers. A low profile exterior and a high power-to-weight ratio made for the ultimate sleeper.
