1971 Chevrolet Nova SS Sport Coupe

This restored 1971 Chevrolet Nova SS Sport Coupe is a compact muscle car that wears its factory color and delivers the kind of power its era only hinted at. Under the hood sits a 383 stroker V8 with performance aluminum heads, producing an estimated 400 horsepower. An Edelbrock port injection system brings crisp throttle response and dependable starts. Power flows through a 350 Turbo automatic with a B&M Z-Gate shifter to a new Moser 12-bolt Posi rear end with 3.73 gears, a drivetrain built to handle every bit of the stroker’s torque. Underneath, the frame, bushings, suspension parts, and subframe connectors have all been powder coated for a clean, durable foundation. The body has been refinished in its original Cottonwood Green over Sandalwood vinyl seating, and SS rims with BFG white letter tires complete the classic stance. Significant money has been invested in new parts throughout. Whether you’re adding to your collection or finally bringing home the Nova you’ve always wanted, this SS offers authentic early-’70s style with the performance to back it up.
