Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova wagon is one of the most
interesting cars we have seen in a while. It has been under a
decade-long restoration, and the details prove it was a labor of
love. It makes for a true cruiser with a classic style and fresh
feel.
The second-gen Chevy II is already a rarity for only being around
for two years, and the wagon is even rarer with the sedan
outselling it nearly five to one during that time. So you're
already looking at distinction even before you check out the
high-gloss finish. The factory-correct Regal Red was resprayed
during the restoration, and it shows off just how much work has
gone into this car. All the panels line up to make sure the sheet
metal's full-length crease looks like an almost unbroken line down
the flanks of this wagon. You can really tell they worked to erase
any trace of this grocery-getter hitting any shopping carts.
Instead, the bright chrome bumpers, lowered stance, and bright
white roof are all about creating an awesome classic cruiser
style.
The interior continues the noticeable investments in quality. The
seats, door panels, and carpeting have a like-new quality that
turns back the clock 55 years. It has a true vintage style you can
feel, right down to the Nova's thin-grip dual-spoke steering wheel.
And the large cargo area and split tailgate make this the ideal
classic for everything from camping to ballgames. So since this
loves to be a useful classic you'll love to drive, and so it has
the right upgrades, like a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner, stereo
speakers, and an auxiliary gauge trio. Also, you can install the
headliner of your choice, and that seems like an opportunity to add
something cool/custom with all that available real estate.
Because this wagon is already so distinct, the engine bay keeps the
classic inline-six motor. The consignor claims this 230 cubic-inch
motor has only about 4k miles on it since being rebuilt. So while
we all know plenty of V8s that would easily fit here, we just like
how this one wants to be a true classic-style cruiser. And it
really was made for driving. That's why there's added confidence
out on the road thanks to the upgraded CPP front suspension, Viking
shocks, and the grip of modern Continental sport tires. Plus,
there's just something unmistakably cool about taking control of
the motor the old-fashioned way with a column-shifted three-speed
manual transmission.
The sale comes complete with build receipts and restoration photos
that document the work that went into a distinctive classic like
this. The excellent grocery getter is up for grabs, so don't miss
your chance. Call now!
