Alf’s 1965 Chevy II Nova SS – A Member’s Muscle Car

by Kiril

Next time you’re cruising around Adelaide, Australia, keep an eye out for Alf’s stunning 1965 Chevy II Nova SS. This red beauty, imported in 2008, flaunts original California plates and a 283 engine paired with a two-speed PowerGlide transmission. Alf’s dedication to authenticity shines, though he’s added some cheeky dual exhaust Flowmaster mufflers for a power boost. Spot the car, say “g’day” to Alf, and maybe get a peek into its feathered-paint-damaged past. Just don’t mention the missing A/C!

Chevy II to Chevrolet Nova—The Third Generation 1968-1970

by Ross Mills

The third-generation Chevy Nova, introduced in 1968, was a makeover marvel with a longer wheelbase and a facelift that officially dropped the Chevy II name. It offered 15 powertrain options, including a 350-cubic-inch V8 for the SS model, which could turn heads and tires. By 1969, Chevy slipped in a Torque-drive for clutchless thrills, and by 1970, the Nova was all about subtle changes, like larger side marker lights. Meanwhile, the four-cylinder engine quietly exited, much like a party guest who realizes they’re at the wrong event.

In 1966, Chevy rolled out the Nova SS, a lean, mean machine inspired by the Super Nova concept. With a standard 194 cu in inline six-cylinder engine, it was ready to purr on the roads. Of course, Chevy offered the option to pack more punch with its array of big and small blocks. The Base SS was a steal, costing just $159 more than the entry 400 version. Thanks to Gateway classic cars, you can feast your eyes on these beauties. Because nothing says ’66 like a Nova SS – the car so nice, they named it twice!

Drag Racing on Dallas STREETS!

Title: Drag Racing on Dallas STREETS!

In the heart of Dallas, where the rubber meets the road in a symphony of roaring engines, it’s a free-for-all with a “run what ya bring” mantra. Picture this: a flat black turbo LSx Nova that’s as stealthy as a ninja, a nitrous small block Nova that’s more explosive than your uncle’s 4th of July BBQ, and a Firebird that’s a sleeper hit, literally. These beasts race under the moonlight, proving there’s no speed limit on fun—or horsepower!

Alf even ditched the dealer-installed AC for authenticity, a decision he might sweat over during summer cruises!

The Super Sport Impala full sized power

by Ross Mills

In the world of muscle cars, the Chevrolet Impala Super Sport stood out like a peacock in a parking lot. The 1966 model, with its thin-shelled bucket seats and optional gauge package, was more of a benchwarmer as buyers flocked to mid-sized stars like the Chevelle SS396. By 1969, the Impala SS was a “sleeper” in disguise—sporting a 427 cu in engine that could make your morning commute feel like a scene from a high-octane movie. Just beware of those sneaky “Tribute” cars masquerading as the real deal!
