Vehicle Description

• Blue exterior with white convertible top
• Blue vinyl bucket seat interior
• 194ci inline six cylinder engine
• Converted to 3-speed manual transmission
• Automatic transmission included
• True driver-project
BODY OVERVIEW:
This Nova SS convertible retains its classic early-’60s charm and unmistakable Super Sport identity. As a factory SS car, it has added desirability, even in its current driver condition. The body shows age and prior repairs, including visible rust areas and previously patched sections that will require attention (depending what you’re going for!). This is not a restored example—it is an honest, time-worn classic that invites improvement for the individual in the right mindset. As shown in the photos, areas of concern include quarter panels, wheel arches, and floor pans.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The blue paint is an older repaint and is showing its age. There are cosmetic imperfections consistent with a car that has been enjoyed and not recently refinished. It presents well enough for casual cruising but does not attempt to hide its driver-grade status. While some may prefer to repaint after doing any necessary body repairs, others may enjoy its time-sweetened appearance as a piece of living history.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The blue vinyl bucket seat interior matches the exterior nicely and maintains the sporty SS feel. The seats appear to have been recovered at some point and present respectably for a driver-quality vehicle. Overall, the interior shows typical wear and age. Buyers should note that the horn, radio, speedometer, and heater are currently not functioning, but the door panels, dash, seats, and carpet are all present and intact. While there are some small repairs to be made, this interior makes it easy to focus on the major improvements first!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Power comes from a 194ci inline six cylinder engine, which for 1963 was the only engine option in a Nova. The car has been converted from an automatic to a 3-speed manual transmission for a more engaging driving experience, but an automatic transmission is included with the sale for anyone that wishes to swap it back. It runs and drives, making it a solid starting point for continued improvement or restoration while enjoying the car in between repairs.
WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
• Genuine factory Super Sport convertible
• Desirable color combination with classic top-down appeal
• Manual transmission
• Drivable project you can enjoy while improving!
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
• Rust and prior rust repairs will require attention
• Older paint shows age and imperfections
• Not a turn-key show car
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?:
Yes. This Nova should be viewed as a rolling restoration or drivable project. Rust repair, cosmetic refinishing, and attention to non-working accessories will be needed to bring it to the next level.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?: This car is ideal for the enthusiast seeking an authentic factory SS convertible at an approachable price point. Perfect for someone who enjoys hands-on ownership and wants a classic they can drive now while restoring over time, rather than paying a premium for a completed car (and without being able to brag about doing it themselves!)
