The Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova is a small automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, and produced in five generations for the 1962 through 1979, and 1985 through 1988 model years. Built on the X-body platform, the Nova was the top selling model in the Chevy II lineup through 1968. The Chevy II nameplate was dropped after 1968, with Nova becoming the nameplate for all of the 1969 through 1979 models. It was replaced by the 1980 Chevrolet Citation introduced in the spring of 1979. The Nova nameplate returned in 1985, produced through 1988 as a S-car based, NUMMI manufactured, subcompact based on the front wheel drive, Japan home-based Toyota Sprinter.
The 1975 Chevrolet Nova was the most-changed Chevy car for that model year. "Now it's beautiful," said the brochure of Nova's all-new sheet metal, "refined along the lines of elegant European sedans." Chevrolet wisely maintained a visual kinship with the 1968-1974 design, and also retained Nova's efficiently sized 111-inch wheelbase. Front tread grew by an inch and a half, and the front stabilizer bar had a larger diameter. Novas now had standard front disc brakes and steel-belted radial tires. The front suspension and subframe assembly was similar to the one used in the second generation GM F-body cars (the Camaro and Pontiac Firebird), whereas the rear axle and suspension were carried over from the previous generation. Coupes, including the hatchback, had fixed side windows (or optional flip-out windows) - the first for a GM vehicle later optioned throughout the 1980s with its light duty trucks (S10, Astro/Safari, and GMT400 trucks to the K2XX series) and vertical vents on the B-pillar. All Novas now had cut-pile carpeting, formerly installed only in the Custom series. Speedometers had larger, easier-to-read graphics. Windshields offered greater glass area. Front-door armrests were redesigned with integral pull bars. The base model carried the inline six-cylinder 250 cu in (4.1 L), 105 hp (78 kW), three V8 engines (262 cu in (4.29 L), a 1975-only option, a 305 cu in (5.00 L) and a 350 cu in (5.7 L)) for 1976 only, were offered. Mated to a three-speed automatic, 3-speed manual or 4-speed - V8s only - Which remained the norm through the end of the decade (and the end of the rear-wheel drive X platform). By then, Cadillac had developed its own version of the X-body, called the K-body which was named the Seville, whose styling was distinct from those of its corporate cousins, and Buick replaced the Apollo with the Skylark name that had been inactive since the previous incarnation ended production at the end of the 1972 model year. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I like the fact that it's a hatchback version Nova!
Looking forward to getting that kit!! 👍 😉
I always liked the fact that MPC tried to pass off a Pontiac engine as a Chevy. I'll save that and find a proper Chevy engine. Great to see this kit back.
GREAT video Chris keep em coming and I'll keep watching
Nice back story Chris! Green has to be your favorite color!
Great job by MPC. That is a great story line too,Chris. She bad, she bad.
Chris This Was Previously Released As "Squad Rod" Nova Patrol Car
I want one I can't wait for it
I've been waiting years for a reissue of this kid. I've had several of them and love this kit,awesome video and thanks round 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁
Me too!
Looks great Chris. The weathing looks good also.
Have a few on order! Can't wait!
Hmm better than expected! Also, I never saw those tires in any other R2 kit before; I sure hope to see those Big N Littles as a parts pack soon! They look sweet!!!!
Hopefully they'll do a Ventura variant of this kit in the future, something that hasn't been available for a very very long time.
My first car and no I don't miss it
Thanks for the build, nice looking car.
That police light bar on the chrome tree is a holdover from the old original issue MPC "Squad Rod' '79 nova kit. Great build sir, I've already placed my order for one.
Just saw your final build; great as always, but man, those new wheels and tires, they just make the car! The stance is perfect!!!
Used Novas - America's go to budget "Hot Rod".
Nice back story.
Very nice build.
Thanks, Chris - I'm a hpiguy today...
I’m really looking forward to building this kit as my next project. Mine will be a drag car with a flat black automotive primer finish, cowl induction hood, interior with a 6 point cage & aftermarket tires & rims. Nice job on this kit. I love the beater look!
This kit use yo be the squad rod nova back in 1980's. I still have one in my stash.
It's been repoped since then
your story or backstories are hilarious at times..!! As you tell them I am sitting here envisioning them. hahaha
Now I know where I've seen this kit before! Given the police lights, this is probably the one issued as the "Squad Rod Nova" in the early 1980s because if I remember correctly you could do it as the customized police car or a regular street machine. It seems like they thought of everything with this decal sheet. The lights are a nice touch because it is very hard to get molded in chrome headlights to look realistic, and I don't think I've ever seen such comprehensive dashboard decals either. I always enjoy seeing these models in a less than pristine state and the back stories you come up with.
This Nova looks exactly like the cars I see in the " will it start and run after sitting 20+ years?" CZcams videos. Well done!
Owned many different makes and models but Novas were my favorite.. I had 2 1976 red on plaid 1 305 v8 and 1 250 st 6.
Looks great the way you did it
Fun build! Looking forward to getting one myself! I'm thinking a 3d printed straight six!
Lovely build. I always enjoy seeing what color spray paints you use in your videos.
Very nice Christopher
Great build Chris,..gonna pick up this kit for sure
That was a fun build of the '79 Nova Chris! Love what you did with it and the story behind it 👍
Very nice build. Good color choices. Very nice use of the craft to weather the body. Thanks for sharing.
Back in the early 90's I purchased a 1976 Nova from my older cousin for $600 bucks. It was a 4 door with an inline six-cylinder and it was green with green pleather interior. I loved that car! Thanks for another great build. I'll be ordering this MPC kit once it's available.
I want this kit so bad. My first car was a 77. The guy who sold it to me also had a 79. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
This is a really nice video Chris! Totally dig the back story, very creative! I'm going to place my back order soon.
I think I’ll be adding this kit to my stash, I had a ‘77 for a few years, close enough!
seeing the level of detail kits like this have gives me a whole lot of hope for the quality of kits Round2 will be putting out in the future, heck of a lot better than what came out in the 90s and early 2000s
The engine in the kit is actually a Pontiac; the kit was created from the 76 Pontiac Ventura tooling.
Gotta get this 1.
I think there was a Pontiac version released. Many thanx Chris 👍👍
Excellent build, I had a '75 with mods ,car was dead reliable,and faster than it should have been, btw that was in Roswell N.M.
I need to find a 76 Ventura nose for one of those...build a replica of one I had in HS in the 90's.
Another excellent video,love the way you build 'em,unfortunately we can't get a lot of these kits in the UK, shipping from the US can sometimes cost as much as the kit.
Cool build, better back story. Might want to make the middle of the hood look burnt though. The carbs look like Holley Dominators and soon as your boy flogged the pedal on a stock, single exhaust motor, l guarantee a huge backfire is forthcoming. Stomp...Bang...Oh s>
He’s running Holley dominators, sweet when it backfires and burns the scoop
(I want it!) x infinity 🤓👍
Love watching your vids. You got me into a very addictive hobby. I know most of your builds are out of the box components, but would love to see attempt the build I'm struggling with. 1994 Chevy s10 with 15x6 front runners, 15x12 rear slicks and a small block Chevy. I've got the rear frame and axle shortened, but am struggling trying to figure out how to get the V8 to fit.
Should be bringing out a modified stocker version of this one
That model can rotate the front wheels?
Nice kit for some serious kit bashing....
A big block maybe with a tunnel ram from the '67 chevelle pro street kit and the box scoop from the '66 pro street kit.. The headers from the chevelle pro street kit should fit without any problems... The possibilities are endless.... 🤔🙂👍
If you want to do that to it just buy the The Squad Rod it's already a tubbed drag car just ad the big block
AMT could release this as the 'Joker Goon Car' and it would be more movie accurate than using the Dodge Monaco that they did a couple of years back.
It certainly has a lot of possibilities
I would like to see this as a stock car. It's about all they were good for .
I want 2 of them please
When are they going to come out with the 73 through 77 Chevy Malibu classic two door?
What ruined the looks of most cars around this time were those fed mandated bumpers.
What are those fine-tip marker pens that you are using in your builds, Chris?
He uses a mixture of sharpie, and molotow brands.
Great Vid !! I will be grabbing one. Do have a question….. you usually “dull coat” your chrome, can you use Tamiya flat clear or does have to be enamel ? Thanks
I'm nor sure to be honest. I've only used the Rustoleum for that process as it reacts really well with the Tamiya black wash for a great steel effect.
Those valve covers were definitely from jc Whitney and they took a month to come in the mail cod.
Anyone know if the body fits the 90’s AMT nascar kits,
hey Chris, How come you use different company primers on different builds??
i had a 1976 buick skylark same body style i bought from my grand father in 1982 it had a 350 v8 and buick wild cat rims maroon paint black interior a lot classier then the nova by fara better car
Nice build. My parents owed a nova it was our family. It was even more boring than the kit you built. The color was like a mustard gold with white interior, I think it was a 1975.
It doesn't really look faded. It looks like someone is in the process of hand-waxing it and hasn't started buffing yet.
Not really sure the manufacturers so much gave up as gave in. Smooth, featureless, bland lack of anything interesting or unique was "Euro-styling" even though it was mostly on Asian imports, and people bought it. Anything that wasn't Honda-bland was "excessive". As a kid it infuriated me. Then you add the government meddling incompetence and I can see why the "why bother" attitude took over.
Yeah ,you have to watch out for those meth heads stealing your catalytic converters.🤣🤣🤣
How does he know if its a guy working on it. It could be a girl.
LOL, because it's a story I made up for my model.
If you want it to be a woman when you make up your story, make it a woman.
