1976 Chevrolet Nova SS from North America - Comments

When I bought it it was pretty rusty, but that's not the car's fault! It sat for years, but started right up for me.

My starter went.

The dashboard got a bit rusty.

A couple of holes through the trunk.

I loved that car more than life itself! Fast, loud, great looking, comfortable. Unfortunately the insurance has gotten a bit high for me so last month I sold her.

My Nova was the best car I have ever driven. It handled really well for a car that big and powerful, and being a young female, it was really great to win every time I raced it on the street! It had a lot of character.

Hey, I am actually looking to buy a 1976 Nova SS, and am quite glad I stumbled upon this site. There isn't a whole lot on the net about the 76 Chevy Nova's and this was good to hear that although it was one of their late years of production, people still really liked them. I'm sure this will influence my decision weather or not to buy the nova I'm looking at or not!

Yes I know how you feel. My 1976 Nova SS will be put up forsale soon. Having a baby and a home changes everything. I am going to miss her, but maybe I can sale her to someone that will fix her up!!!

I drive a 1976 Nova ss, great car, but fuel waster well depends what kind of engine you got and how far you drive good for just in town driving and to show off if you want. I'm a teenager too I'm 16 me and my dad bought that car for car shows we barely bought it, like about 8 months ago and we installed some parts like a Holley 750 carburetor kept the original 350 in it some other things I can't really pronounce them in English I just know the parts names in Spanish, sorry.I recommend this car nice and powerful, but you can't drive it very far not for traveling. Yep like she said it does win lot's of races those little euro guys don't know what the go up against!

My 1976 Chevy Nova became My Red=Neck Cadillac. I was raised to drive Pintos. So when My Daddy bought Me, My 4-door "76" Nova, I had a Cadillac. Every time I see one, I fall for it. There was nothing like that car. Too many miles took it.

But I will always Love My Nova Ca. Thanks For all the Memories. I now have a Monte Carlo. But because of Seizures, I had to give it up. But it was a Rock. I drove My MC down the road on 2 wheels only for a long time! Rocks do Roll!

Thanks Chevy for all the great memories!

I have an original 76 Nova SS that I plan on selling soon. Since there isn't much about this car on the web, I am not too sure what price to put on her. The car has sat for the past 2 years, but used to be hot. The paint still looks good (black/black). It needs the interior redone, but the dash is in great shape. Any suggestions on what price to put on her? Email me at sskyle@aol.com.

I bought my original 1976 Nova when I was in my 30's & next week it's going into the classic car body shop for a clean up & new paint job. I'm now in my 50's & I still love that car too much to ever even consider selling it! It has always been a head turner & I only did some very simple things to her. Removed the trim on the side, lifted the suspension 2" in all 4 corners. aluminum slots & wider rubber, chrome bullet mirrors & smoothed it out & blocked it a couple of times & painted it the original GM Saddle Tan. Replaced the drive train about 5K miles. ago only because there were too many leaks. It still passed smog every yr. & was used as a daily driver for a lot of the past 24 yrs. I can't go anywhere without getting compliments on it & the older it gets, the more it happens. 4th generation Novas are the real deal these days. Love that '76 Nova! She's a beauty!

My first car was a '76 Nova. I bought it when I was 18 and paid $650 for it in 1983. It had the 305 and a TH350 but that didn't last long with my heavy right foot. I built a 350 for it (I was raised in a mechanic shop). That motor was still running strong 3 years later when a friend was parting out a '67 pick-up. I bought the 427 for $200 and squeezed it in. I truly miss that car and would buy another. My youngest daughter saw pictures of it and says that is the car for her.

I'm CHIWIS and I'm driving a 1976 nova I boght it just to have fun, but I know that it is a good car, me and my neigbords, we have a nova's team it name is TERCOS raicing team we are just like 4 fried having a nova 76, 72 and 71.

I also have a 76 Chevy Nova, and am actually finally able to find parts for it.

Motor trans and rear have always been easy to find, but body parts have been a hassle. On glasstek.com they have everything from lexan windows to fiberglass hoods, doors, trunk, bumpers... even a pro 1 piece fiberglass front end for $750.00. So in other words I get back from Afghanistan in May of 09 and my baby I've had since 97, "The Nova" will be sitting pretty, already has a 383 stroker recently broke in with a fresh turbo 400 trans.. if you know of any more 4th gen nova websites, send me an email please at Joshua.g.will@us.army.mil.
