Besides a rebuild of the current motor, new items include the Dynamax exhaust, aluminum radiator, and brakes. The term started to gain steam after TV car shows used patina to describe vehicles that wore their history in their outer metal skin. Though no photos of it are provided, the original damaged block comes with the car and is said to need some machine work if you wanted to reuse it. Patina is a well-used buzz word in the car hobby. Consider it a high-class rat rod with a patina. We offer the highest quality, perfectly matched OEM touch up paints and paint supplies for cars and motorcycles from 1940-today. But a lot of folks like this look and would rather clearcoat what’s there rather than go for a repaint. As the story goes, this was a California car from the get-go, which has helped lead to a rust-free body and original paint that is well-worn. The metal is not flatlike a mirror, so notice the distortion of the. This machine was also built with a 4-speed M20 manual transmission, so it’s a true muscle car (you may recall the Chevelle SS 396 became a series of its own in 1966, the year this Nova was produced). Notice how the paint is highly reflective and mirrors the world around the car. The seller indicates that this SS is authentic, not a facsimile which have become popular in the era of cloning. But that powerplant once went bad and was replaced by a similar 327 with a few performance upgrades. A few more than 5,100 copies of the SS came with the 327 that was in the seller’s car. With 1966’s restyle, 172,500 copies rolled off the assembly line, with nearly 21,000 wearing SS or Super Sport badging.

Located in San Diego, California, the Nova seen here has loads of patina with its Danube Blue paint and is available here on eBay where $29,700 is the current bid. The original engine is not in the automobile but comes with the deal, so that would still make this Chevy numbers-matching. And the Nova Super Sport could be had with some power under the hood, like the 275 hp 327 cubic-inch V8 as with the seller’s car. Chevrolet gave its popular compact the Chevy II a facelift in 1966 and sales improved by more than 50,000 units. ![]()
