The 1962 Chevrolet Nova Convertible is a special classic that combines rarity and character. Imported to the Netherlands in 2001, this car is a rare sight, especially on European roads. Since 2013, it has been owned by the current owner, who has done a lot to this Nova with care and attention.
The Chevrolet Nova was introduced in the early 1960s as a compact car, but with its elegant lines and powerful performance, it quickly won a loyal fan base. The convertible version, like this one from 1962, adds an extra touch of flair and fun to the driving experience. The sunroof and classic American styling make every drive a joy.
Currently, the interior and exterior have several imperfections. Nevertheless, much work has been done recently to keep the car mechanically in top condition. In 2023/2024, the engine block and cylinder head were thoroughly overhauled, ensuring reliable and powerful performance.
A more modern upgrade is the replacement of the brake system. The original drum brakes have given way to disc brakes, significantly improving not only safety but also ride comfort. In the process, new rims and tires were installed, with the distinctive whitewall tires that perfectly match the classic look of the car. The convertible roof, replaced in 2020, ensures that the car can be used even in less sunny weather.
The wiring harness, a crucial component for the car's electrical systems, has also been replaced. Updates such as these ensure that this Chevrolet Nova is not only a beautiful piece of automotive history, but also remains a reliable and user-friendly classic.
This 1962 Chevrolet Nova Convertible offers a unique combination of historic charm and modern upgrades. For fans of classic American cars, this is a godsend. Despite its imperfections, it exudes character and authenticity, and with recent mechanical upgrades it is ready for many years of driving enjoyment. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
