1969 Chevrolet Nova SS

Finished in its factory-correct, original Rallye Green (Code 79) color over a Black interior (Code 731), this 1969 Chevrolet Nova SS is an authentic, GM-documented Super Sport factory ordered with the high-performance L78 engine. Built at the Willow Run, Michigan, assembly plant and shipped on April 29, 1969, this example represents a rare and desirable piece of Chevrolet muscle car history.

Under the hood resides the legendary L78 396 CI V-8, factory rated at 375 HP and paired with a Muncie M21 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission. Power is transferred through a Positraction rear axle, and factory options include front disc brakes, vacuum power assist and the special “SS” body conversion package (ZL3). The car also features the exterior décor group and the distinctive Super Sport trim (Z26), confirming its authenticity as a true big-block SS model.

This Nova benefits from a comprehensive rotisserie restoration performed to show standards with stunning Rallye Green paint. The undercarriage and engine compartment present with exceptional attention to detail, showcasing correct factory markings, finishes, and components throughout. Accompanied by its official GM documentation, this 1969 Nova SS stands as one of the most desirable and potent small-bodied muscle cars of the late 1960s, combining light weight, big-block performance and authentic GM provenance. It represents a rare opportunity to own a real, restored, factory documented L78 Nova—one of the most respected street sleepers ever built by Chevrolet.
