Third-generation Chevy Novas have a big reputation within the muscle car crowd, and they re a common sight at the drag strip nowadays. Second-gen models aren t all that popular, but some racers prefer them for their slightly more compact size and lighter curb weight. We ve seen a clean-looking 1965 model hit the drag strip with a turbo V8 earlier this month, so now it s time to check out a procharged coupe doing no-prep runs. 1 photo
This mean-looking, dark cherry Nova boasts a unique front end thanks to a closed-off grille and big intake mounted in the center of the bumper. It just looks like it s about to suck anything in its path. Fielded in the small-tire class, this Nova sounds and looks like a solid contender, flexing a big V8 and burning rubber like there s no tomorrow.
