Description
The 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS sat at the entry point of the muscle car era — lighter than a Chevelle, more affordable than a Corvette, and with the right V8 option, faster than most people expected from a compact that shared showroom space with the economy Chevy II. The Super Sport package added the performance hardware; the SS badge on the grille did the talking. On the drag strip, a properly built Nova SS was a consistent threat to cars twice its price.
The RLC Exclusive Super Nova takes that drag strip character to its logical end — Spectraflame paint, chrome supercharger detail breaking through the bonnet, Real Riders on wide rubber. It's the casting as a tribute to a specific American performance culture that flourished in the mid-1960s before insurance companies and emissions legislation changed the equation. For collectors who know what the Nova SS represented at its peak, this is a correct and satisfying piece.
