Rare 1968 Chevy II Nova Super Sport This is a very rare 1968 Chevy II Nova Super Sport. As far as we can tell, this car is the real deal Super Sport Big Block. This car came out new with a 396ci big block, 12 bolt rear-end, power steering, 14x7 SS rally wheels. Take a look at the heater box on the fire wall for proof that this car is a real big block! But let’s face it, 42 years has past and did anyone really know what they had when these cars were being raced and parted out over the decades? Alas, in past 42 years this car has also had a few changes. The specs on this car are currently: MECHANICS · 350ci V-8 with a mild cam · 350 Turbo Automatic Transmission · 650 Holley Carburetor · Electric Choke · Performer RPM Aluminum Intake · Chrome Valve Covers and Air Cleaner · 10 bolt rear-end · New 2 inch aluminum exhaust with Turbo Mufflers · New Gas Tank I am super impressed with how strong this Chevy II runs and drives. I have a blast cruising around town in this sleek silver gem! I have been told that less than 50 big block SS Chevy II Nova were made in 68! EXTERIOR · New cortez silver base/coat clear/coat paint · Original Bowtie Mirrors on Left and Right · Original Grill · All correct Chevy II Nova Super Sport Badging (very hard to find!) · Factory 14x7 Super Sport Wheels I noticed while replacing the exhaust that there were a few small repair patch panels in the floor pan and at the rear of the trunk pan. There are no holes in this car! The paint is slick and straight on this car. You could read your watch in the shine! INTERIOR · New black seat covers · New front door panels · New set of 225/70x14 Mastercraft white letter tires · Nice black carpet · I had the headliner tightened and it is in great condition with no rips · This car also has a nice PIONEER AM-FM-CD Stereo with Remote I am including some history on the 1968 Chevy II Nova that I found on the web.

It finally joined the big boys with a standard 350 V8 with 295 bhp and the addition of the mighty Chevrolet 396 V8 big block. Standard in the Nova SS 396 was a 350 bhp while optional was a brutish 375 bhp which could propel the light Nova to a 13.85 second 1/4 mile at 104 mph. The 396 V8 with 375 bhp featured 11:1 compression, a big Holley four-barrel on an aluminum intake, free-breathing heads, and solid lifters. Top speed was estimated at 121 mph. The SS 396 featured a favorable 45% of its weight on the rear axle, a favorable weight balance few muscle cars could match. The SS package added SS badges, black-accented grille and tail, and simulated hood air intakes. The SS was listed as just an option package from 1968 on, instead of a separate trim level like before.
