Muscle car fans will have a chance to bid on two stunning Chevrolet Novas this weekend as Mecum Auctions brings a high-powered duo of bowtie classics to the block on Saturday, April 5, during its 2025 Houston event.
Leading the pair is a meticulously restored 1967 Chevy II Nova Custom, finished in eye-catching Marina Blue with a tan hand-crafted interior. Under the hood lies a Magnuson-supercharged 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 paired to a 4L65E automatic transmission with a B&M bump shifter, generating substantial street and strip performance. Additional highlights include Snow Performance water-methanol injection, a ChassisWorks powder-coated frame, Mustang II front suspension with coilovers, rear air shocks, Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes, and Boyd Coddington wheels. The cabin houses modern touches like Auto Meter gauges, a Pyle double-DIN multimedia unit, and a full Alpine sound system with dual 12-inch subwoofers.
Built for performance and show appeal, this Nova has been stripped of its heater and A/C systems, and even has capped wipers—underlining its purpose-built nature as a true pro-touring cruiser.
Joining it on the auction floor is a tastefully customized 1963 Chevrolet Nova Convertible, featuring a 6.0-liter V-8 and 4L60 automatic transmission. This drop-top combines vintage flair with modern refinement, including a leather interior, air conditioning, power windows, and a tilt steering column. Its mechanicals are equally impressive, with a Heidts front end, rack and pinion steering, 4-link rear suspension, and a 9-inch Ford rear end. Like its coupe counterpart, it rides on Boyd Coddington wheels and is brought to a stop by Wilwood disc brakes at all four corners.
With contrasting personalities—one a hard-edged restomod, the other a refined cruiser—both Novas reflect the enduring appeal of Chevrolet’s compact muscle car platform, and both will cross the Mecum Houston block with high expectations from bidders.
