Good old fashioned fun!For consignment, have your dreams become reality with this 1962Chevrolet Nova offered up. It is on top notch form, with its wetlooking menacing black finish, mirror-like accents, and futuristicdash and perfect seats in blazing red to accent the black. Throw ina modern 350ci mill with a B&M torque converter on thetransmission and this once unassuming grocery getter meant for thesuburban mom becomes your competitions worst nightmare. Drop thehanky, but your rivals better pick it up on the way down the stripbecause its all over but the cryin and theyll need it.ExteriorLaser straight steel panels have been artfully crafted and formedonto the classic look that oozes the early 1960s. Beautifullypolished chrome makes up the egg crate grille leading the way withits single flanking headlight within a shiny bezel on either side.The matching perfectly polished bumper below frames the frontbottom and prepares us for the visual journey rearward. On thefront quarter corners are dual streak like trimmings just aft ofthe headlights and these give the appearance of movement all thewhile the car is merely sitting there, laughing at how nice it is.A perfectly aligned hood mounts between these quarters and moves upand down effortlessly. Clear glass for the windshield and thepassenger compartment which have shiny trimmings surrounding them.The door skinstake the central crease in the steel and keep ingoing to the rear quarters where in between the quarters is achromed rocker trimming on the bottom. Hanging off the doors is asmall round mirror within which you could brush your teeth and combyour hair on the outside chroming, they are that perfect. A shinygas cap covering is now on and some nifty badging of the era on theback of each quarter. On the back, the small trunk deck isdefinitely of the compact car cars and has edged trimmings for morehighlighting. These trimmings frame vertical rectangular taillights and back lights on either corner, with a central badge.Below is another perfection mirror-like bumper framing the centrallicense plate. 15-inch American Racing special edition polished 5spoke wheels are wrapped with like new black wall rubber. Soapplause please.InteriorThe original full metal jacket dash with its dual, edge spearstamped center is bathed in perfectly applied red. An ovalinstrument cluster is within a white sprayed aluminum panel whichhas round gauges on either edge and is fronted by an original redsteering wheel with half chromed horn ring. In the center isanother pointed oval panel housing the radio which has been updatedto a retro styled AM/FM/Cassette neatly installed in the oval.Plenty of shiny knobs and pulls are below and on the drivers leftis a trio of aftermarket gauges hanging below the dash in a shinystamped panel. Turning our eyes to the chairs,which are arrest mered benches front and back, are tighter than a high school bandsdrums. These chairs have tuck and roll center inserts and smoothbolsters and centers, as well as piped patterned uppers on thebacks with more smooth red vinyl. Door panels are equally asimpressive with vertical arrest me red vinyl tuck and rolling andsmooth uppers and lowers. These all sporting perfect polishedcranks and actuators. Red carpeting, stain free and like new, isunder the seats and throughout the interior. A shout out to theblack canvas convertible top which is also like new, has a plasticclear rear window and moves up and down effortlessly. It also has ared tonneau covering which looks spectacular in the down positionmatching the red interior. Were cruisin now!DrivetrainA lift of the hood and we are still within the spectacular realm ofeye candy so sweet Im about to turn for my insulin. Here we see abeautifully restored and blinged with chrome 327ci V8. It haschromed valve coverings, a polished Edelbrock intake manifold and4-barrel carb also from Edelbrock. On back a TH350 3-speedautomatic with a B&M 2800-3200rpm converter and for thespinning of the rear tires a 10 bolt 2.73 rear axle. Otherhighlights include ribbed stainless hoses, an orange painted blockand red radiator which is aluminum, and more chrome coating for thefan. Shiny black paint coats all the surrounds and even a polishedmaster cylinder completes the high level of detailing of the enginebay.UndercarriagePutting this showpiece up on the lift and the hits just keep oncomin. Here we see a like new fuel tank, black painted steelstamped and cast surfaces, and a dual exhaust. The floor pans havebeen repaired but all is now very secure and rust free. Upfront,independent coil springs are providing the ride, and on back leafsprings with traction bars grab the tarmac. Power disc braking isnew in front and power drums on back. As Mr. Burns would sayExcellent as he wrings his hands!Drive-AbilityI love this showpiece and it did not disappoint on my test drive. Aquick fire up and a wonderful sound came from the car. On the testtrack it performed flawlessly as expected. I did find the hornnotable to toot, the exhaust rattled against the body just a bit,and the speedo read 120mph and higher at ALL times. I heard anoccasional vacuum leak under the dash as well.
