Over the past 109 years, Chevrolet has built such a vast empire of
lovable offerings that some of them just seem to get overlooked.
One of the most substantial victims of that unfortunate phenomenon
is the storied Nova. Introduced in 1962 as an affordable and
traditional compact, the frugal Chevy II was peddled in a wide
variety of configurations. But it wasn't until the late sixties
that the Nova sprouted some serious cubic inches and grew into a
bona fide muscle car. This brilliant little 62 Nova resto-mod,
Convertible has been converted into one of the sickest rides around
via some great body & paintwork, as well as upgraded suspension
work and a hot 383 stroker motor. Thanks to a good southern body to
start with, this is one super cool hot rod that can be both driven
and displayed. So if you're shopping for a fully sorted cruiser
that puts a modern spin on an old-school favorite, it's a great
candidate for your next classic!
SUPER STAR NOVA
The beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up restoration that was
completed over the course of a few years, this little convertible
V8 coupe is founded on good solid sheet metal that was, according
to the car's past owner, stripped bare before being massaged to
greatness. Not surprisingly, every seam on this Main Street king
has been aligned to a better-than-factory fit. When you step close
to its vivid pigment, you'll find flat surfaces that have traveled
mere weekend miles since they were buffed up. And ultimately, it
all adds up to one very impressive classic that looks right at home
reflecting summertime car shows!
The subdued and classy lines of the prototypical 62 Nova are
timeless & conservative all at the same time. And because they're
so universal in appeal, they've continued to gain significant
popularity. At the front of this Chevy, a mirrored bumper frames
stylish parking lamps beneath an aluminum-trimmed crisp grille
that's bookended by factory headlamps. Behind that grille, a full
trimmed hood leads the eye to like-new glass that's cased in
straight trim, polished wipers. At the sides of that glass,
conservative profile centers polished mirrors and traditional GM
door handles. On the flawless front fenders are some small tasteful
"383" badges located on the lower fender. And at the back of the
car, a second mirrored bumper frames a familiar Nova rear trunk
panel between bright taillights and a tasteful "Chevrolet" center
emblem.
NO FLUFF RETRO
Open this Nova's solid doors and you'll find a mildly modified
interior that wraps a nice blend of classic style and modern
convenience around traditional white vinyl seats. A monochromatic
dash hangs a new gauge cluster with a new Classic instrument Gauge
cluster to tell you what's happening under the hood at all times.
Besides upgraded heat and defrost is a new AC system to keep you
cool if it gets too hot for you on these Summer days. A modern head
unit by AutoSound and new speakers were added to complete the
interior & dash upgrades. Fresh carpet floats about solid floor
pans. The driver spins a new wood steering wheel with a three-spoke
aluminum center and a Chevy bow tie to complete the fresh look. And
naturally, this Nova's trunk is just as nicely finished as its
cockpit. Comes complete with a spare and an extra convertible top
boot in Red.
In 1962, this Chevy represented some of the best performance your
money could buy. Currently, it represents some of the coolest
muscle on the collector car market for its price range. Super nice
first-generation Novas are a rare find, let alone in a convertible!
Don't miss your chance to own one of the coolest classics on the
planet!
