The Chevrolet Nova first came to the market in 1962 as the Chevy II but underwent major transformations from 1962 until 1979 and received a brief revival from 1985 until 1988.

The optional 283-cubic-inch V8 offered up to 195 horsepower, while later high-performance versions featured 327-cubic-inch V8s delivering 250 to 300 horsepower, depending on the trim and configuration. During 1968 Chevrolet Nova reached its muscle car pinnacle with a 350-cubic-inch V-8 which produced 295-horsepower. Both manual and automatic transmission options provided customers with flexible driving options in their Chevrolet Nova vehicles.
