'67 Chevy Nova SS connects him to his past, present, future | Why I Drive #10

The grandson of a California hot rodder and son of a national drag racing champion, James Schiefer was born with gasoline in his veins. After getting a look at the Ring Brothers’ “Recoil” Chevelle build ( • Ringbrothers Recoil Ch... ), James began to plot, plan, and scheme for his own project. And thus was born his 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS.

You guys should come film me and my 99 civic EX I'll smoke that piece of skit Nova.

[@jaebird3508]

if you ever find yourself in the Philly area, I'd love to show off and give ya a bit of back story behind my 1972 nova coupe that my pops gave me that I use as a daily driver

[@obsessivegarage921]

What color is that called? Thx

[@laxxedup316]

My dad had one when I was growing up, all original, we took it to car shows multiple times per summer. It was a gem. Blue with black/white ("skunk stripe") interior. Manual transmission. Actually found the original window sticker behind the back seat when he sold it. Even my mom cried when the next owner pulled it out of the driveway. Forget retirement, I'm saving up to buy one of these.

[@bradgingrich4505]

1967 was a great year for Chevrolet, the Nova, Chevelle, Camero, Corvette, and the Impala all beautiful cars.

[@Guardducks]

Love that color.

[@jshanecharles7033]

My grandfather passed away and left me one of these in his will and literally every single thing he described about the experience of the car from the straight lines, handling like a go kart, hearing absolutely everything, having to pay attention the whole time and be one with car haha thats everything i crave in a car im so ready to build this car one day i hope it wont be hard to get the parts

Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing. Love the film location 😎🤙

As a paperboy a customer had a ss nova it was a survivor car no doubt always been taken care of.

[@maxmoreno5511]

Love it! Such a beautiful car.

[@vettekid3326]

I always love a car that has been gone through and updated and refinished to look correct. Never was a fan of the "patina" cars because they just looked like most of the hot rods back in the day because the cosmetics were always the last thing someone would spend money on so a fully finished hot rod was really rare in the midwest and you always appreciated them.

[@carloshugomunozbarabino5795]

Reminds me of my Nova. Awesome video.

People now a days could not handle a car like this.

I had a 62, with a straight six, beat a 327 Impala in 1/8 mile drag race in High School. It is still my fav car and I've had GTO's and Chargers. That 67 is a Beaut!

[@racer67]

Something must of been wonky with that 327! I have a 67 impala with a 327 and i can guarantee i would smash a straight 6!

[@Goomer]

@@racer67 No doubt, I had a 62 Impala with a 283, I miss those days.

Interesting. I feel that the 67 El Camino is the best looking of the bunch.

I have the same car and this video has made up my mind NOT to sell it!!!

Great series! I"m not sure why this driver keeps asking questions though....It's you? and the car? For a muscle car? it is very modern? and it has a lot of modern technology? It is something that's modern? and Fun? I don't know the answers to these questions for the life of me. But it's a sweet car? Oops. It's a sweet car.

[@finnblu3002]

Danny Harris, Suburban Chevrolet, Baltimore had one built back in the day Clean, wicked ride... right up until an access ramp to the golden ring section of I 695 included a longgggg sweeping left at 120 mph- Never ideal performance when any Nova is sliding on its roof Rip
