The formula was a good one: take a lightweight car like the Chevy II and stuff it full of Corvette V8 prowess. This 1962 Chevrolet Chevy II (also known as the Nova) is a road-ready example of that formula in action, and it offers a host of upgrades and a top-flight restoration that make it a first-class cruiser with a ton of eyeball appeal. And yes, it's got a 4-speed manual gearbox too!
Subtle colors help give Chevy's most popular compact a bigger presence, and you're probably not going to see this one coming until it's too late. They're not big cars, which is why they're so potent out on the road, but in dark colors you have no choice but to treat them with respect. The sinister, deep black paint and bodywork on this car was done to a very high standard and remains in excellent overall condition after only 1,376 reported miles on the build. And because it's so fresh and has seen so few miles out on the open road, there are really no signs of use to speak of. It's not a perfect trailer queen that should be sealed away in a museum (although we would rate it as a borderline show-quality classic), of course, but if you like to drive, there aren't many better Bowties for the job. The steel underneath is laser straight and shows off near-perfect gaps, clear evidence that the builders really took their time when they were putting this car together. Tasteful pinstriping on the hood and deck lid add a touch of sophistication to this black beauty, along with just enough contrast to break up the black finish a little. Nice chrome and brightwork, including the factory grille, bright bumpers fore and aft, and finned rocker panel molding give it just enough flash to get some extra attention as you go rolling past.
The interior is extremely well done too, offering fresh upholstery and carpets throughout, all in bright red to perfectly complement the car's miles-deep black paintwork. Period correct low-back buckets up front are in fantastic shape, as is the matching rear bench, and the rest of the interior is on the same high-end level and manages to pretty much stick to the factory recipe throughout. The door panels were restored to stock as well and look completely untouched, an aftermarket 3-spoke steering wheel was swapped in for some added sportiness, and the plush red carpets on the floors are protected with black 'Bowtie' carpeted mats. A Hurst shifter with a cue ball knob manages the 4-speed manual below and it's a whole lot of fun racking it through the gears and hammering down the throttle. The factory gauges in the dash cover the basics, but an AutoMeter tachometer was neatly strapped to the steering column and a trio of aftermarket dials were hung underneath the dash to augment the original pieces. Above that aftermarket gauge stack is a factory-style A/C unit from Old Aire Products that pumps cold R134a air throughout the cabin. And just above it, an upgraded retro-style AM/FM/Cassette radio lives in the center of the dash, while a set of seatbelts were added up front for safety. The back seat was upholstered to match the low-back buckets up front and the super-clean trunk carries a correct mat, a full-size tire, and a relocated battery inside a dedicated tray.
Factory Nova's didn't come with V8s until 1964, but nevertheless, the powerful 350/375HP small block V8 that was swapped into this lightweight car looks as if it always belonged. Donated from a 1970 Corvette with all the machine work completed by the pros at Arlington Machine Shop, it utilizes authentic finishes and equipment combined with polished and chrome dress-up pieces, and it has a great period-performance look with plenty of horsepower on tap. Upgrades include double hump heads, a Comp cam, Edelbrock intake manifold, Holley 4-barrel double-pumper carburetor, a giant aluminum radiator with an electric fan, and an HEI ignition. So, it's not just pretty, it has plenty of pop for the modern environment, too. The Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission is plenty tough for V8 duty and channels power to a 10-bolt rear end with 3.73 posi-traction gears, borrowed from a 1964 wagon. Sanderson shorty headers feed into a burly Flowmaster dual exhaust system that gives it a sinister voice and you'll note that the chassis is in great shape with clean floors and lots of newer hardware, including a strut-rod conversion kit with a 1-inch sway bar up front, and multi-leaf springs with adjustable drag shocks out back. Shiny Rallye wheels really fill the wheel wells nicely and keep the '60s performance look intact, and they carry staggered 195/70/14 front and 225/60/14 rear BFGoodrich T/A white-letter radials with plenty of grip.
This is one mean little Chevy II with a ton of firepower on tap. If you like the promise of light curb weight coupled with heavy horsepower, all wrapped up in a show-worthy vintage package, then perhaps this Nova deserves a much closer look. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
