Regular Car Reviews built a whole episode around a technicality: strictly speaking, there’s no such thing as a factory Nova SS, just an option package bolted onto an ordinary Chevy compact. What starts as a joke about badge integrity turns into a real argument for why this particular 1970 Nova, and its unswapped 350 small-block, deserves more credit than its “fake” SS badge suggests. Viewers from as far as Argentina showed up with their own Nova stories. So is the SS badge a lie, or just a loophole?
