1969 Chevrolet Nova SS “The Drag Strip General” Will Have Turbos Instead of Headlights

In the first quarter of the year, GM’s Chevrolet posted a sales rollercoaster – its Silverado lineup was the second best-selling name in America after Ford’s F-Series, while the sixth-generation Camaro was one of its worst performers ever. .

Chevrolet’s Silverado rose 2.4% to nearly 130,000 models, and the American automaker also had the Equinox crossover. SUV a similar 2.4% increase (over 54k units, 13), with the Malibu midsize sedan nearly rounding out the Top 20 in 19th place. However, we didn’t expect to see the Chevy Nameplate easily move more than 1k vehicles per month – Its now-discontinued sixth-generation Camaro sold just 3,574 examples in the first three months of the year.

That’s a whopping 54% off, and it’s no wonder people are looking for a more expensive C8 Corvette (over 8.5k sales) or sticking with their old Chevy and reworking it as often as possible. In fact, even the Chevy Nova isn’t the subject of a joke (‘no va’ means it doesn’t work in Spanish) anymore. Instead, the Chevrolet Chevy II / Nova line, released in five generations between 1962 and 1979 and then from 1985 to 1988, has become everyone’s favorite.

As it turns out, one can be passionate about the wonderful world of quarter-mile drag racing or the creative world of digital automotive content creators – it doesn’t matter; they will still find something common in their love for the Chevy Nova. But there is no need to take our word lightly. Here’s a great example from Mike Dog, author of “bloody renders,” aka _mikedog_ on social media, who has returned to the future of classic American muscle cars with this CGI-to-reality preview.

His fifth commission is a 1969 Chevrolet Nova called “The Drag Strip General.” Zach Stoltz of DetailTech LLC has a passion for racing, and his current ride is an orange-and-black ’69 Nova “built for one thing: drag racing.” However, according to the master, “he is preparing for a major overhaul” even though the car is already visible. Still, the owner is “not content to just turn heads; he wants jaws to drop.”

So, the big upgrade presented here in this preview will include a special bubble hood, a new bumper splitter with a lower spoiler, a clean rear wing, and our favorite (and our) favorite pixel concept – the headlights, which they look like modern LEDs. and embedded wind peaks are no longer light units. Instead, they were replaced by twin turbos! That’s a really cool and subtle design idea on the 1969 Chevy Nova SS – everything else is crap, including the asymmetrical front exhausts, the desert/forest camouflage paint, and the works of the sky.

Apparently, the owner is still on the fence about the wheels, but the CGI expert has already recommended Weld Magnum wheels. So what do you think? Will it cause mayhem on a quarter-mile block?
