With a sharp redesign for 1968, Chevrolet's Chevy II Nova took on more of a mini muscle car look with its kicked-up rear quarter panels and overall beefier stance.

Little wonder that this generation, produced from 1968 through 1972, is a favorite among muscle car enthusiasts.

The beautiful, arrow-straight body has had a single high-quality respray in the original Desert Sand color. Look closely and you'll note the original pinch welds in both rear quarter panels, more evidence that the car was properly cared for and preserved since day one. Originally optioned with a white painted top; it now has a black vinyl top which was added during the respray in accordance with the former owner's preference. Like the exterior, the Novas interior appears showroom fresh. No boring bench seat interior here as this SS was well optioned with the Strato bucket seats, center console and full instrumentation.
