You are looking at a rare piece of history here! As most of you know, the only years of convertible Nova’s/Chevy II were 1962 & 1963. I addition, a V-8 was not offered until 1964. There were however some that were “dealer conversions” Excerpt from Wikipedia: Available engines for the Chevy II in 1962 and 1963 included a Chevrolet 153 4-cylinder engine (153 cu in (2.5 l)) and a new third generation 194 cu in (3.2 l) Chevrolet straight-6 engine . All Chevy II engines featured Overhead valves. Although the Nova was not originally available with a V8 option, it wouldn't be long before Chevrolet V8s were offered as dealer-installed options (between 1962 and 1963), up to and including the fuel-injected version available in the Corvette. The combination of readily available V8 power and light weight made the Nova a popular choice of drag racers. This car, from what my brother and I have discerned so
far is a dealer conversion. There are
many reasons we think it is. The inner
wells under the hood in the engine bay are not cut and the install looks
professional like a dealer converted it back in the day for a customer who
wanted a V-8. We believe the motor is a
1965 283 V-8 and the transmission is a 1965 M21 Muncie 4 speed. Headers and good condition dual exhaust with chrome tips. Even the shifter itself is of an older
variety that my brother (he is a total gear head and used to work in a pit
crew) says is from way back because the top handle of the shifter is welded to
the shifting rod, and it has a line lock on it (not connected) which is also
from way back. The motor has power pack
heads on it, and the old clip on retainers for the Chevrolet valve covers. I have heard there is a database somewhere of
dealer converted VINS, but have yet to dig into it. I cannot guarantee it is a dealer converted
car, but there are a lot of signs that it is.
If whoever gets this car does the digging, they may end up with
something far more valuable than I am selling it for. Mileage on the odometer shows 46950. I could not tell you whether it has flipped or not because the condition is so good. To be on the safe side though, considering it is 51 years old, it may very well have. The car is in incredible condition for a unrestored 1963, and turns heads every where it goes because it’s not that common. That is why I bought it and because it’s a convertible. As you can see from the pictures the paint looks great and the chrome even better. The paint does have some blemishes and dings/chips here and there, but overall still looks great and has a nice shine. The front bumper is a rare optioned bumper as well with the middle safety bar (I think it looks better than without). It has all the appropriate SS badging, but the VIN plate is not SS coded (again leads me to believe it was a dealer conversion). It also has the spinner capped SS hubcaps which are in great shape. The undercarriage is in great shape with virtually no rust. The trunk and all pans are also in great shape. The convertible top has one small spot where there was a small tear, but it was patched and is hardly noticeable. Otherwise it is in great shape. The rear zip out plastic window does have some clouding and could be replaced, but I bought the car to drive topless, so it has never been an issue. The drivers seat is covered with a matching leather piece on the lower portion, but the original cover is below it. Just replaced all the bushings on the front end, and the car drives tight and straight hands free. A non-refundable $500 deposit will be required at the end of the auction. The remainder will be due in cash or certified check/personal check. I am listing the car locally as well; as such the auction may end early. The vehicle is being sold as-is where-is with no warranty implied. Vehicle will be released once all funds are secured. I will work with your shipper but you will need to set it up. All inspections of the car are welcome, and must be done prior to the end of the auction.

Mary Barra reportedly confirms GM's electric pickup truck plans
Tue, Apr 30 2019According to Motor Authority, CEO Mary Barra confirmed General Motors' intentions to build an electric pickup truck this week. Whether or not it would be an all-new vehicle is unknown. The news comes not even a week after Ford announced a $500 million investment in electric-vehicle startup Rivian. First, electric powertrains were integrated into cars. Then came the crossovers and the SUVs. Naturally, then, the next wave will be pickup trucks. Ford is set to produce an electric F-150, Rivian has the R1T, and now General Motors has reportedly confirmed its plans to introduce a competitor into the field. The article says the topic was brought up in a recent investor call as part of a brief overview of the automaker's electrification strategy. That's where the details end, however, as there is no indication of a timeline, what GM brand would carry the truck, or whether it would be an entirely new product or an adaptation of a current model. The latter seems most likely, which points to the Chevrolet Silverado or the GMC Sierra as possibilities. Chevrolet has been GM's electrification leader this decade with the Bolt and Volt, so an electric Silverado would align well with that messaging and branding. However, an electric pickup would likely be a pricier premium product, which could align it better with GMC. Autoblog has reached out to GM for comment and will update this space when we get a response.

GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue
Sun, Jan 4 2015General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.
2015 Chevy Volt will be available with 4G LTE
Tue, Jan 14 2014General Motors teased consumers two years ago when it showed off a Chevrolet Volt decked out with 4G LTE connectivity. More details were finally unveiled this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: the 2015 Chevy Volt will have a 4G LTE option and will offer consumers an as-yet-unpriced option with much faster wireless internet connection and more smartphone apps. GM's OnStar has teamed up with AT&T to come up with several mobile apps alongside the roadside assistance. The Volt joins the 2015 Corvette, Impala and Malibuz models that will debut with a 4G LTE option this year. The first four 4G ChevroLTE models will be released this summer and will be joined by the Spark (EV and gas versions), Equinox, Silverado and Silverado HD. GM has yet to announce whether any Cadillac or Buick models will get the 4G option. Chevrolet Accelerates to 4G LTE Speeds in 2014 Bowtie brand models in U.S. and Canada to get OnStar 4G LTE by summer LAS VEGAS – Starting this summer, Chevrolet will have some of the fastest vehicles on the roads, and that has nothing to do with horsepower. Chevrolet drivers will be enjoying high-speed data - made possible by a new OnStar 4G LTE connection in the vehicle, running on AT&T's network, the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network. Chevrolet today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu, and Volt would be the first General Motors' vehicles to come optionally equipped with OnStar 4G LTE. They will be followed by the Equinox, Silverado, Silverado HD, Spark and Spark EV. In the Canadian market, OnStar with 4G LTE will be introduced on the Chevrolet Trax as well. The majority of the 2015 Chevrolet lineup in the U.S and Canada will have a 4G LTE connection built-in at vehicle launch. More models will be announced later this year. "Chevrolet is expected to implement the broadest deployment of 4G LTE in the automotive industry," said Alan Batey, senior vice president of Global Chevrolet. "The fact that OnStar with 4G LTE will be available in models that range from the Chevrolet Spark to the Silverado to the Corvette, is indicative of our broad commitment to deliver more value and convenience through smart technology applications.
