The 1967 Nova was in its second year of a redesign, and received nothing more than a few small tweaks in regards to appearance items. In the trim department, all Novas got a crosshatch pattern that filled the decklid trim panel. Officially, the top-tier Nova was still called the Chevy II Nova, and this year, it overtook the entry-level 100-series Chevy II in sales.

The available 283 cubic-inch V8 got you either 195 or 220 horsepower.

The 1967 models were blessed with significant improvements in regards to safety equipment. This year marked the installation of a government-mandated, energy-absorbing steering column and steering wheel. Previous steering columns were not designed to collapse, and in the event of an accident, could impale drivers. Inclusion of soft interior parts such as armrests and sun visors, along with recessed instrument-panel knobs, and front-shoulder seatbelt anchors were standard in all 1967 models.

Although the 1967 Chevy II Nova series continued to attract compact-car buyers, the new Chevrolet Camaro did manage to poach some Nova sales. Only available as a hardtop coupe, the 1967 Chevrolet Nova Super Sport got a new black-accented aluminum grille, SS wheel covers glommed from the 1965 and 1966 Impala Super Sport. This year, the “Chevy II SS” badges from 1966 were replaced with “Nova SS” emblems.

Engine options for the small car began with the 120 horsepower, 194 cubic-inch six-cylinder engine, but a new 155 horsepower, 250 cubic-inch inline-six-cylinder engine was optional. Stepping up to either a two or four-barrel equipped 283 cubic-inch V8 got you 195 or 220 horsepower. If you had an extra $93.00 burning a hole in your pocket, you could upgrade to a 275 horsepower 327 cubic-inch V8. Although the 350 horsepower L79 was not listed as an official factory offering in the 1967 Chevy II/Nova—Chevrolet was saving that for the Camaro, rumor has it that a handful did make it into some 1967 Novas.

The 327 cubic-inch engine delivered 275 horsepower this year.

Finally, Nova Super Sport coupes were fitted with a console-mounted shifter with the Powerglide automatic transmission or four-speed manual transmission. All other models used a column-mounted shifter.
