While the 1962 Nova may not have boasted the same power as the Impala Super Sport or the potent engines found in full-size models, it still held its own as a truly fascinating car. Its appeal was evident from its debut year on the market, with Chevrolet producing a substantial 326,607 units, the majority being four-door sedans (139,004).
Available with either a four- or six-cylinder engine, the six-cylinder variant was preferred by most buyers during an era dominated by high-performance engines. However, only a fraction of the 1962 Novas, a mere 24,000 units, rolled off the assembly lines equipped with a four-cylinder engine. For enthusiasts of the Nova, a rare gem awaits discovery.
This 1962 convertible has remained within the same family throughout its existence, with the eBay seller, harley98kenneth, assuring potential buyers that the car has never endured any wrecks or accidents. Despite showing signs of its age, with occasional spots of minor rust visible in the shared photos, the Nova boasts all-original panels.
All features, including lights, wipers, and heater, are in working order, making it road-ready for enthusiasts eager to relive the nostalgia of a bygone era. Under the hood lies a six-cylinder engine, starting, running, and driving smoothly without emitting any smoke.
Recently started on a 100-mile journey without incident, this Nova awaits its next adventure on the roads of Youngstown, Ohio, offering interested buyers the opportunity for an in-person inspection before making a decision.
