The Chevy Nova is a classic muscle car?

My first car was the Pontiac-badged version. It had some nice V8 power, but I would not exactly call it a “muscle car”.

Back In The 60s a Chevy dealer named Don Yanko shoe horned L-72 Chevy 427 engines into Chevy 2 novas. Others followed. Later he put blown 350s in them.

Muscle Car, fits the description of these particular cars. Don’t know what the complainant’s car had.

The Nova SS is a classic muscle car. The early ones because they’re great examples of the early no-frills performance models, and the later ones because they make great bases for customizing. So far as I know, there are no 4-door SS musclecars, only coupes/convertibles. One of my cousin’s friends had a mid-70s Nova that was built up to the point that he would take people for rides, put a $10 bill on the dash and tell them that once he started accelerating they could keep the money if they could reach it; he never lost the money.

Actually the mainstream Nova’s were granma/granpa cars.
