Dick’s Classic Motors is proud to present this stunning 1962 Chevrolet Nova LS 6-Speed Automatic Convertible for sale in our Mesa, AZ showroom. Entering the early 60s, Chevrolet set out to create a new compact car and unknowingly produced a classic that has been cherished by car enthusiasts for generations. The convertible body style was only offered for two years, making it a rare and desirable model. Finished in Ermine White (936) with blue and ivory vinyl bucket seats (741), this Nova has undergone a full restoration.
The interior of this Nova is far from the simple designs of the original Chevy II models. Step inside and you’re greeted by a classic Ivory vinyl interior, now updated with new upholstery. The two comfortable bucket seats are in excellent condition. The aftermarket steering wheel sits on a painted steering column and frames the custom dash with a Classic Instruments gauge cluster. The floor is protected by burgundy carpets, which remain in fantastic shape. Overall, the interior perfectly complements the burgundy exterior, making for a stunning package.
Pop the hood and you’ll find a 5.3L LM7 fuel-injected V8 that’s been upgraded with a Wilson Fast 92mm intake, Fast fuel rails, and Stainless Works long tube headers. This engine runs beautifully and is mated to a 6-speed 6L80E automatic transmission for smooth, reliable shifting. For cooling, it features a 4-core radiator to keep the engine cool on those hot summer days. With Vintage Air for ice-cold air conditioning and Dirty Dingo accessory brackets, this custom setup delivers both style and performance.
This Nova is equipped with 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes to ensure excellent stopping power. New shocks, along with a new fuel tank, help maintain its great ride. The car also boasts a 10-bolt rear end that sends power to the 6-speed transmission. Dual exhausts add a great sound to the performance package.
This Nova rides on aftermarket rallye replica rims with 215/45ZR17 tires on the front and 225/45ZR17 tires on the rear, giving it a sporty and aggressive stance.
