1962 Chevrolet Nova hardtop coupe Description

Arizona car rust free!
very clean upgraded 2 door Chevy II - 1962 - first year of the nova. These have a small wheel base, light weight and therefore great for speed.
solid throughout with front floor pans replaced, primed and painted in trunk, engine bay, underneath, everywhere. not a show car or a trailer queen- a solid driver (or good platform for street race car). stripes are not vinyl- they are professionally painted & clear, acrylic urethane satin pewter metallic.
i will try to list everything i know here:
upgrades:
new rack and pinion steering and cross member and ujoint kit from Unisteer, new steering column, (its manual steering for more horsepower if you go that route with it- car is little and light),(The original steering system was bad on these, so beware if you are looking at another chevy 2) Professionally aligned at Network. New ball joints and red poly bushings.
small block v8 upgraded with Holley Street Dominator aluminum intake and Edelbrock 4 barrel carb. since this car model is so light it flies even with its stock motor.. could easily put a turbo kit on it or whatever you want.POSI REAR differential- the stronger 10 bolt diff that can handle more h.p, (it's quick off line- gears in 3:5 range i guess? but rides nice at 80mph too)Turbo 350 auto trans with new filter service.
new nice wide dual exhaust with mufflers so it's not too loud, but flows good. adjustable coil over shocks, new fuel sending unit, electric fuel pump in rear, new aluminum oversized radiator, new alternator 1 wire conversion.
the alloy Iroc wheels are wider in the rear, brand new Cooper tires up front, good tread wide super sports on back.Body and frame is solid and comes with extra matching paint (half gallon approx) included in case you want to redo any blemish areas to your liking.
interior:
nice blue from a previous restoration and paint, has a few scratches here and there. new carpet, 2012 matching greyR/T seats- very comfortable and supportive with power adjustable drivers seat. front windows crank nicely.
have the original good heater box and fan unit (good and working) and wiper motor in a box.
new steering column (original will come with it also if you want it, the turn signals and horn not hooked up yet into that new harness. have the original headliner brackets which are hard to find, but no headliner installed, just primed and coated. the black soft vinyl door panels have a few defects, but are decent enough or easy to redo.
lights and brake lights are hooked up and workin, as well as the speedo gauge and fuel gauge with new sender. some elect things still need reconnected, but not needed to drive, rear deck was shaved so it dies latch closed, but sits down nice and heavy with a new seal kit. passenger door sags and a new hinge pin would fix that. there's just some little things that could be done still, so you can have some tinkering on things here and there.
Genuine original SS bumper grill guard piece.
parts in the trunk: original chrome center console would look cool installed, original front running lights (not installed), new in package rear window seal from Precision (i preferred keeping the chrome look strips on rear window, but you can go to the new black rubber seal instead). extra paint kit- enough for a whole car. original steering column
Great daily driver muscle car, Get's a lot of "thumbs up" from car guys.
The first year of the Nova makes this a desirable model year with big upside in value, worth holding on to.
