Chevrolet Nova SS 1966-images

by Ross Mills

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!
