1963 Chevrolet Nova 400

1963 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova 400 Series station wagon.
4 doors, 2 seats, 6 passengers. 194ci Inline 6-cylinder engine with 3-speed manual transmission.
Actual barn find. I found this on a farm in Central California where it had been sitting for years. I purchased it from the original owner. The body is very straight with minimal dents, the pinch welds are perfect. Accident, rust and cancer free. Repainted once sometime in the 80s. Paint/clear is fading. All brightwork/trim is accounted for and is in good shape. Vehicle is currently registered and is registered to the original issue 1963 black/yellow California license plates. Both license plates are still on the car.
I have had it gone through completely to make it a safe, reliable daily driver. I originally built this for my father, but he can no longer drive.
Over $23,000 invested.
There may be other Nova wagons for sale but I doubt any of them are as unmolested, straight and solid as this one. Ready to go. Get in it and drive it.
