I can see a crack on top of the dash and what looks like some degraded plastic trim around the gauge cluster, and I’m guessing there are more issues or there would be more photos, that’s usually the way it works. This is it for interior photos, I know, disappointing. This car also has the coveted 4-speed manual. The SS package for the Nova in this era included a black mesh grille, a beefier suspension, and the steering wheel seen here – sans the aftermarket cover. In 1985, they reintroduced the Nova as the front-drive economy car. But a front-wheel-drive Nova?! These rear-wheel-drive cars would take a handful of years off while the X-body cars (front-drive Citation, Skylark, Phoenix, Omega, etc.) took over for GM. It became basically a rebadged Toyota which normally I’m all for, being a huge Toyota fan. The fourth-generation Novas were made for the 1975 through 1979 model years, after that the Nova fell hard. The Rally wheels were a part of the $187 SS package for the Nova. I’m not comparing it to some 650-hp custom first-generation Nova but for 1976 this was one nice car and it still is 42 years later. This is one sweet ride, there is no question about it. Come on, who doesn’t love an orange car? (hey, put your hands down in the back row, I saw that) It also is an SS and it has a 350 V8 and a 4-speed manual transmission. First off, it looks almost perfect, at least body-wise. Ok, maybe this isn’t a dream Nova compared to some earlier cars, but it checks quite a few boxes for me. The seller has it posted on Craigslist and they’re asking $8,000 for this tangerine dream. And, it’s orange! And, it’s an SS! This beauty is a 1976 Chevrolet Nova SS and it’s located in Houghton Lake, Michigan. As a fourth-generation car, and most people would say the last real generation of Nova, this car looks great to me.
