1962 Chevrolet Nova Convertible For $400!

cheap-nova-convertible

This Nova is claimed to have been in the same family since new! It was a graduation gift to the seller’s mother and the mileage is supposedly correct (56k). It obviously needs a lot of work, but how could you go wrong for four hundred bucks? This was the first generation of the Nova. Well, actually it was a Chevy II with the Nova being the top model level. Anyway, find this cheap droptop project here on craigslist out of St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Thanks goes to Greg F for the tip!

        Someone must have wanted to make sure they got there before everyone else started calling. Hopefully you were near the front of the line already.

    The C/L ad says it’s been in mom’s “care” all these years. Yikes!

      At that price you have about 15 minutes to get there.

        In Minnesota people will actually hold things for a buyer. Kinda weird??

      Actually Minnesota gets far less salt than most
      Of the rust belt states. The bitter cold makes salt far less effective.

    For 400 scoots, I don’t see any way to go wrong with this. There’s probably lots of tin still around to replace rusty bits if necessary, and a good metal/welding guy can do the rest.

    My only question would be: leave the stock engine in it, or swing for the fences with a 350 and a manual trans.? Chevy IIs offered a lot of scope for “improvements” if that’s your thing, even though bone-stock would be just fine with me.

    I love convertibles, but have to admit I’d want a coupe if I was hunting for a Chevy II. I still can’t get memories of the Chevy II that Bill Thomas — builder of the “Cheetah” — put together. That was a seriously evil machine!

    Ad is already flagged for removal so someone likely got a great deal. Hope we get to see it here when it’s a driver again.

    Lots of people really love these cars, myself included.
    Hopefully someone just got a great deal on their dream car project. I would hate to see some opportunistic flipper get ahold of it and relist it next week…
