Storm Trooper White 1970 Chevy Nova Restomod Looks Fresh

The third-generation Chevrolet Nova was in production between 1967 and 1974, available as a 2-door coupe, 3-door hatchback and 4-door sedan.

This particular one, getting auctioned off through Mecum Auctions this upcoming July in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, looks like a Nova SS model, although the ad doesn’t mention much in regards to spec, unfortunately.

What it does say is that the vehicle underwent a grounds-up restoration, receiving a “fresh high performance 355 CI engine”, meaning a V8, although the exact power figure is unknown. We can however tell you that stock Nova SS models with 350 cubic inch engines (5.7-liter) put down some 295 HP when new.

The exterior is painted Storm Trooper White with black striping, while other mods include the new 18-inch and 20-inch tires front and rear, tubular upper and lower A-arms with QA1 coilovers, KYB shocks, Comp Cams valvetrain, aluminum heads, Holley aluminum intake and carburetor, HPC coated long tube headers, aluminum radiator and a GM serpentine belt system.

Inside, there are Pro Car bucket seats, new carpet, new door panels, a custom console with Auto Meter gauges, B&M shifter for the automatic gearbox and a custom stereo system.

It’s hard to say how much this Chevy Nova restomod could fetch once the auction concludes. Still, we’ve seen somewhat similar models go for anywhere between $25,000 to more than $50,000, so it all depends on what state the car is in.

Even though the Chevy Nova was never as popular as other classic muscle cars of its era, one did star in the 2007 movie Death Proof by Quentin Tarantino, so at the very least you can make a case for it being a pretty cool ride.
