Vehicle Description
With a rarity only second to the convertible version, a 1963
Chevrolet Chevy II Nova wagon is the perfect candidate for restomod
customization. With amazing paint, a powerful crate V8, updated
interior, and upgraded suspension, this one has left its family
hauler days in the rear view mirror.
Turning grocery-getters into go-fact machines is an art. The best
way erase the suburban blues is by investing in a bold red. But
more than just color, the canvas has to be at its best, so there's
plenty spent in making the sheetmetal look great. Arguably the
Nova's angular style offers the best-looking wagon of the mid-60s,
and it has a stance that's perfect for an aggressive update. Only
adding to the mystique are the mirror-like chrome bumpers, clean
grille design, and a set of iconic American Racing Torq Thrust
wheels. Plus, you're going to love all the details, from the tinted
windows, to the racing flag emblems, to the custom cowl hood.
The tan interior is beautifully customized, starting with a set of
comfortable cloth bucket seats with arm rests for long haul
usability. The rear keeps a nod to the family hauler past by
retaining the easy to clean vinyl. The total package coordinates
very nicely with the seats matching the custom door panels and new
carpeting. Some of the upgrades are quite obvious like the classic
Chevy performance three-spoke steering wheel, auxiliary gauge
package, and the large tach. Other upgrades like modern insulation
IS hidden under the carpet, but you'll certainly appreciate it on
those times when you want to be shielded from the enhanced rumble
that begins under the hood.
The engine bay holds your favorite upgrade. In 1963, Chevrolet was
still a few years away from installing a V8 in the Chevy II, but
this one surpasses even its successors. That's a 350 cubic-inch
crate motor filling the engine bay. The small block V8 looks great
with the dark valve covers and headers matching the painted fender
walls. It gives bold elements like the tidy red plug wires a chance
to really standout. But more than just look good, this motor has
290 hp out of the box. Plus, it has been enhanced with an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, aluminum radiator, and
long tube headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. And more
than just the motor has been upgraded. The TH350 three-speed
automatic transmission was rebuilt to include a shift kit, and it
feeds a rebuilt rear end. Plus, the front suspension has been
upgraded with a Classic Performance Products setup that includes
tubular A-arms, sway bar, and quick ratio power steering.
This is the perfect classic. After all, you'll convince everyone
that you bought a versatile family vehicle with plenty of cargo
space. But really it's the small block power and performance
suspension that sold you. Since you're not the only one who would
like to disguise his dream car as a practical classic, you should
hurry and call today!
