The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Older repaint showing some chips. Some rust around headlights that was repaired with body filler recently, as well as driver's side lower quarter panel. Passenger side quarter panel had a lower half made from sheet metal and welded to body about a year ago. All areas were smoothed with some filler and painted with available GM color to match as close as possible. Sheet metal is good on rest of car and floors are solid. I have driven this car over 6,000 miles this past year."

1963 CHEVROLET CHEVY II NOVA MODEL 300 4 DOOR SEDAN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO FROM THE SECOND OWNER. IT IS REGISTERED, INSURED BY HAGERTY, AND INSPECTED IN MY NAME AND LICENSED FOR ROAD USE. IT IS A 62,340 ORIGINAL MILE CAR AND I HAVE ORIGINAL INVOICE, CANCELLED CHECK, THIRD EDITION OWNERS MANUAL, AND FUTURE REGULATIONS FORM FROM JUNE 8, 1963 WHEN VEHICLE WAS ORDERED, AND AUGUST 7,1963 WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM RICHARD CHEVROLET (NOW PAUL CONTE CHEVROLET) ON SUNRISE HIGHWAY IN FREEPORT, NY. THIS PAPERWORK GOES WITH THE CAR INCLUDING THE CHEVROLET PLASTIC ENVELOPE.

POWERTRAIN IS A 194 CUBIC INCH 6 CYLINDER INLINE ENGINE WITH 3 SPEED ON THE TREE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT IS A BASE NOVA WITH RADIO DELETE BLOCKOFF PLATE AND 10 GALLON FUEL TANK. CAR HAS HEATER AND DEFROSTER THAT WORK FINE. ONLY THE DOOR AND KICK PANELS, CARPET AND BACK SHELF WERE REDONE. SECOND OWNER INSTALLED A STEREO WHICH I REMOVED AND HAS HOLES FOR SPEAKERS ON REAR SHELF OF BACK SEAT. THE REST OF INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL.

WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS RESTORED, ALL COMPONENTS NECESSARY FOR RELIABLE DRIVING WERE ADDRESSED. IN ADDITION TO BODYWORK AND PAINT DESCRIBED ABOVE, THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF MECHANICAL WORK DONE.

 

NEW SPARK PLUGS, PLUG WIRES, POINTS,COIL, CONDENSER, CAP, ROTOR. NEW FUEL PUMP, EXHAUST AND INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS, HOSES AND THERMOSTAT. REBUILT STARTER AND ALTERNATOR AND NEW VOLTAGE REGULATOR. REBUILT ORIGINAL CARBURETOR AND NEW AIR CLEANER. ONE NEW PASSENGER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT, COMPLETE NEW BRAKE SYSTEM, INCLUDING REBUILT ORIGINAL WHEEL CYLINDERS, SLOW CUT DRUMS, NEW SHOES BEVELED FOR SUPERB STOPPING, NEW HOSES AND MASTER CYLINDER. NEW 13 INCH FIRESTONE PRIMEWELL BLACKWALL RADIAL TIRES AND THE ORIGINAL JACK WORKS PERFECTLY. ALL LIGHTS WORK AND CAR STARTS WITH ONE PUSH OF THROTTLE TO SET CHOKE AND TURN THE KEY. CLUTCH IS SMOOTH AND ENGAGES AT THE RIGHT SPOT. SHIFT LEVER IS LIKE BUTTER, ALTHOUGH FIRST GEAR IS NOT SYNCHRONIZED, SO SOME DOUBLE CLUTCHING IS NECESSARY.

THIS IS A WELL PRESERVED ORIGINAL BASE MODEL CAR. COST NEW WAS $2200 AND I HAVE CHECK STUB FROM ORIGINAL OWNERS ACCOUNT IN ROSLYN SAVING BANK ON AUGUST 7,1963 TOO.IF YOU WANT A SUPER SPORT, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OR MUSCLE CAR, THIS CAR IS NOT FOR YOU. IF YOU WANT A BEST IN SHOW WINNER THAT IS SHINY ALL OVER, DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR. BUT IF YOU WANT AN ORIGINAL ANTIQUE NOVA THAT DRIVES AS IT DID WHEN NEW, AND LOOKS AS IT DID WITH ALL DOCUMENTATION BACK TO ORIGINAL PURCHASE, THIS IS THE CAR FOR YOU.

STARTS AT $0.01 WITH NO RESERVE. THIS CAR IS UNIQUE ENOUGH THAT SOME SERIOUS ANTIQUE CAR COLLECTOR WILL APPRECIATE IT. WHEN THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF JFK ASSASSINATION TAKES PLACE LATER THIS YEAR, YOU WILL OWN A TRUE ANTIQUE THAT WAS A FEW MONTHS OLD WHEN THIS HISTORIC EVENT HAPPENED. AND YOU CAN OWN A CAR THAT CAN BE DISPLAYED WITH PRIDE TO SHOW OTHERS WHAT A BASIC CAR LOOKED LIKE BACK THEN, WITH ALL PAPERS FROM AUGUST 1963. EVERYONE DID NOT DRIVE SUPER SPORT IMPALAS OR CORVETTES. PLEASE EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS. COME PICK IT UP, PAY FOR IT, AND DRIVE IT HOME, EVEN TO CALIFORNIA. CAR CRUISES AT 70 MPH AND HAS IMPRESSIVE ACCELERATION, IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH COLUMN SHIFT. FUEL ECONOMY IS 14-17 MPG.
