HIGHLIGHTS: • Factory Super Sport car • Blue exterior with white
convertible top • Blue vinyl bucket seat interior • 194ci inline
six cylinder engine • Converted to 3-speed manual transmission •
Automatic transmission included • True driver-project BODY
OVERVIEW: This Nova SS convertible retains its classic early-'60s
charm and unmistakable Super Sport identity. As a factory SS car,
it has added desirability, even in its current driver condition.
The body shows age and prior repairs, including visible rust areas
and previously patched sections that will require attention
(depending what you're going for!). This is not a restored
example-it is an honest, time-worn classic that invites improvement
for the individual in the right mindset. As shown in the photos,
areas of concern include quarter panels, wheel arches, and floor
pans. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The blue paint is an older repaint
and is showing its age. There are cosmetic imperfections consistent
with a car that has been enjoyed and not recently refinished. It
presents well enough for casual cruising but does not attempt to
hide its driver-grade status. While some may prefer to repaint
after doing any necessary body repairs, others may enjoy its
time-sweetened appearance as a piece of living history. INTERIOR
CONDITION OVERVIEW: The blue vinyl bucket seat interior matches the
exterior nicely and maintains the sporty SS feel. The seats appear
to have been recovered at some point and present respectably for a
driver-quality vehicle. Overall, the interior shows typical wear
and age. Buyers should note that the horn, radio, speedometer, and
heater are currently not functioning, but the door panels, dash,
seats, and carpet are all present and intact. While there are some
small repairs to be made, this interior makes it easy to focus on
the major improvements first! MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Power comes from
a 194ci inline six cylinder engine, which for 1963 was the only
engine option in a Nova. The car has been converted from an
automatic to a 3-speed manual transmission for a more engaging
driving experience, but an automatic transmission is included with
the sale for anyone that wishes to swap it back. It runs and
drives, making it a solid starting point for continued improvement
or restoration while enjoying the car in between repairs. WHAT
YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: • Genuine factory Super Sport
convertible • Desirable color combination with classic top-down
appeal • Manual transmission adds driving involvement, and wasn't
available from the factory in 1963 • Drivable project you can enjoy
while improving! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: • Rust and
prior rust repairs will require attention • Older paint shows age
and imperfections • Not a turn-key show car DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?:
Yes. This Nova should be viewed as a rolling restoration or
drivable project. Rust repair, cosmetic refinishing, and attention
to non-working accessories will be needed to bring it to the next
level. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?: This car is ideal for
the enthusiast seeking an authentic factory SS convertible at an
approachable price point. Perfect for someone who enjoys hands-on
ownership and wants a classic they can drive now while restoring
over time, rather than paying a premium for a completed car (and
without being able to brag about doing it themselves!) Contact Rare
