Vehicle Description
The Chevrolet Nova needs no introduction, as it's one of the most
legendary nameplates in muscle car history. And, as far as early
'60s performance goes, it doesn't get a whole lot better than this.
With a small-block V8 under the hood, a gorgeous interior, and an
open-air experience, this 1963 Chevrolet Nova Convertible is the
real deal. Even though the '63 Novas were not offered with V8s,
this one is an exception. Powered by a 350 C.I. V8 breathing
through a 4-barrel carburetor, this little Nova doesn't hesitate to
get up and go. Torque is put to the pavement through a 2-speed
"Powerglide" automatic transmission, which shifts seamlessly as
this Nova glides down the road. The exterior's older red paint has
a beautiful gleam in the sun after being buffed to a brilliant
shine, and it's spread out over this Nova's laser-straight
bodylines wonderfully. Shiny chrome exterior trim pieces ensure
that this Nova sticks out, and the white convertible top contrasts
nicely with the red paint covering the bodywork. In addition, the
floors, frame, trunk and jambs are all rock-solid and in good
condition! Opening the twin doors reveals a stunning red and white
vinyl interior, complete with comfy bench seats that are perfect
for cruising. The A/C blows ice-cold, and the factory gauges still
sit in the dashboard! Options on this sweet '63 Nova include
ice-cold A/C, factory gauges, an AM pushbutton radio, a white
convertible top, a 10-bold rear axle, a driver's-side chrome
mirror, vent windows, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. The
car rides on a good-looking set of 17" chrome wheels over blackwall
tires that combine the best of both vintage and modern style! Turn
the key and that 350 V8 starts right up, making sure you're in for
a good time behind the wheel with the feeling of the open air. It's
not very often you come across a genuine early-gen Chevy II Nova
Convertible, so don't let this one slip away!
