1965 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova SS Description

1965 Chevy II Nova Super Sport - Black on Black

One of Chevrolet's most popular early Super Sports is the Nova SS Coupe. Often replicated, there is nothing like finding the original. This 1965 Nova SS is a true Super Sport survivor and maintains its original 283 Turbo Fire V8 with M35 Powerglide transmission. Only 643 SS Nova V8s were built in 1965, and this is one of them. Get your hands on a piece of history!

The factory original 283ci V8 is presented just as it was when new. No aftermarket hod rod parts on this one. Clean and simple. It starts easy and runs well, no smoke or clatter. It makes great power and the transmission shifts crisp and smooth. A well maintained survivor.

As we all know, a black finish shows every imperfection, but you'll find very few. Other than a couple of paint cracks near the center hood line, the finish presents very nicely. This car was refinished in late 2014/early 2015. With straight panels and consistent gaps, this is a very nice example of the early Nova SS. Even the door jambs were painted and look great. Both front and rear bumpers gleam with brilliance. The grille is straight, showing the slightest hint of aging, true also of some other original trim on the car. All glass is in good condition.

Inside, this Nova SS has aged gracefully. A beautiful survivor and a testament to the very low miles showing on the odometer. The carpets look new, and the seats look fresh, both front and rear-front buckets, rear bench. The vinyl appears original-surely someone sat in this car, but it sure doesn't look like it! The door panels also appear original, and in excellent condition. The headliner is snug and straight. Only with the console do we start to see hints that this car is a half-century old, and in a way, it's reassuring.

This black SS is a blast to drive and a real head turner. It pulls strong, shifts well, and stops straight and proper. The lights and switches and gauges all work, making it a fantastic driver or a unique addition to any collection. There aren't many cars like this left, especially with only 643 being made!

The only thing it's missing is a driver. That could be you! Call Art & Speed at (901) 850-0507 to make it happen.
