Chevy Ii Nova Convertible, L6, Powerglide, Parts Lot, No Reserve on 2040-cars

For sale is a 1962 Chevy II/Nova Convertible. I purchased this car around 2009/2010. I cleaned the car up and got it road worthy. From then it has been a great around town on a nice day car. This car is not perfect and needs some work. It is a great driver and gets a lot of looks and thumbs up.  I will provide the most honest description possible, if you have any questions or think I missed something please contact me.

The Nova has a Chevy L6 230, which was rebuilt by the previous owner.  The motor runs very smooth with great power and has been upgraded to HEI. The transmission is a factory powerglide and history is unknown, shift great with no issues.  The Nova has 4 lug and drum brakes all around with factory wheels and hubcaps. New tires were added and have very few miles on them. The car has the following factory options: Dash Pad, Power Brakes, Courtesy lights, Bumper Guards Front and rear. I have added a factory SS gauge cluster to the car. The oil pressure, fuel and speedometer all work. The temp gauge is not hooked up to the SS cluster and is currently ran to an under dash gauge.  All lights and wipers work. I put some new speakers and a radio (in glove box). Very quick job, just so my daughter could listen to some tunes. Has two sets of key, one original GM set and backup set.

The body of this car is in overall good shape. All the bodywork was done prior to me getting the car. As you can see it is painted a “Man Purple” color. There is some rust on the car and pictures in description show the trouble areas, so there are no surprises. The hood will need to be replaced, poor paint prep has left some of the areas prone. Please review the included pictures to see the rust locations and severity.  None of the rust areas are through the body. The car does clean up very nice.  The top on the car is need of replacement; it was outfitted with a glass back window, which is included in purchase. Most cars have plastic back windows, which fade and become a problem. The interior was redone around the same time as the paint, it shows some wear and cracking from sun on the top of the rear seats. Seat belts for four mounted in the car.  Carpet is faded, but I have placed a nice NOS floor mat in the front.

The car will come with a lot of parts, around seven plastic tubs and many boxes. Parts are not all convertible specific, but Nova 62-65. I believe it will all fit in the car with the top up for transport, if being shipped. Parts included the following and more. NOS Brake light kits X 4, NOS door lock kits, trim, two NOS floor mats for wagon, nice kick panel vents, nice windwing glass, low mileage heater, trim, gauges, hubcaps, window sets (tinted wagon), Pypes SS exhaust for passenger side with muffler, wiring, brackets, misc nuts, bolts, etc. Also included is a brand new California Car Cover custom fit cover, replacing the previous one.

UPDATE 9/3/14: I was asked to check the floor pans for an interested party. Pictures have been taken are available via requesting through eBay. The passenger side of the floor is 100% solid and in great shape. The driveride, has few spots that are through, near drain plugs, however the previous owner patched from above and riveted the patch on. I tried to remove the carpet for better pictures, but it is glued so well it will be a full day job. Any questions please message through eBay. Thank for looking.

This is a list of thing I know the car needs done if wanted:

-        Hook up heater

o   Included is a low mileage heater with a good heater core. (Removed from a 40K car)

-       Roof to top latches

o   These will need to be replaced

-       Vent windows

o   Driverside is cracked and rusted, have OEM glass will perfect chrome to replace (both side)

-       Alignment

o   Car does pull a little to the left

-       Replace top

o   If planning on driving in weather, replacement of the top would be smart. Or run with the top down.

This has been a great family car for us, but a new project is on the way and the convertible needs to find a new home.

I am willing to work with the new owner on assisting with getting the car shipped. I will make sure it is packed and secure for the shipper to pickup.

I am the current owner and it has a clean CA title in my name. The car will come with the original CA black plates. I have the records from the previous owner also. Totaling around $4500, which was done in the 1990’s.

This is an old vehicle and is sold AS IS.

If you would like to see the car in person, it is located in Capitola CA and I can arrange if needed.

I have tried to provided an honest and complete description unlike many do on eBay, if you would like specific pictures or have any questions, please contact me through eBay.

This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

A deposit of $500.00 via Paypal is required at end of auction within 24 hours, the remaining amount is due within 7 days.
