1962 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova 400 Convertible for Sale

For the initial year of the Chevy II Nova, the company only offered four or six-cylinder engines, but whatever mill was under the hood of this Nova was replaced with a 283-cu.

in, small-block Chevrolet V-8. That engine, available in the intermediate cars in '62, tucks neatly under the Nova Convertible's hood, and looks like it belongs there.

Reflecting the attention to detail paid during the restoration, the engine bay remains cleans and looks hardly used after five years since the redo. Atop the small block is a polished aluminum Edelbrock EPS intake, along with an Edelbrock carburetor. Chrome Chevrolet valve covers and that highly detailed engine bay add to the appeal.

Paired with the 283 is a three-speed Turbo Hydra Matic 350, a stout upgrade over a stock two-speed Powerglide that would have been the standard automatic on the Nova, and a gearbox ready for anything that a 283 can throw at it. Inside the car, the shifter is mounted neatly to the floor, without a center console, giving it a cool, minimalist look.
