Back in the early 60s, the sportiest Nova 400 convertible trim fetched $2,475, and buyers would have to fork over an extra $161 to upgrade it to the Nova Super Sport package. By the third generation, prices ranged from a low of $2,200 in 1968 to a high of $3,105 in 1974.
The 1975-1979 model years ranged from $3,095 to $4,150 brand-new from the dealership, while the final Nova version had a starting price tag of $7,435 in 1985 all the way to $11,395 for the twin-cam trim level by the 1988 model year.
If you’re shopping for them nowadays, however, prices have changed… a lot. Chevy II Novas start at around $30k on the used market, and some sell for upwards of $50k.
Later models (when they dropped the Chevy II prefix) are far more attainable and can be had for under $10,000, although clean examples, particularly high-performance variants in great condition, are selling for six figures.
