For sale is a 1962 Chevy II/Nova Convertible. I purchased this car around 2009/2010. I cleaned the car up and got it road worthy. From then it has been a great around town on a nice day car. This car is not perfect and needs some work. It is a great driver and gets a lot of looks and thumbs up.  I will provide the most honest description possible, if you have any questions or think I missed something please contact me.

The Nova has a Chevy L6 230, which was rebuilt by the previous owner.  The motor runs very smooth with great power and has been upgraded to HEI. The transmission is a factory powerglide and history is unknown, shift great with no issues.  The Nova has 4 lug and drum brakes all around with factory wheels and hubcaps. New tires were added and have very few miles on them. The car has the following factory options: Dash Pad, Power Brakes, Courtesy lights, Bumper Guards Front and rear. I have added a factory SS gauge cluster to the car. The oil pressure, fuel and speedometer all work. The temp gauge is not hooked up to the SS cluster and is currently ran to an under dash gauge.  All lights and wipers work. I put some new speakers and a radio (in glove box). Very quick job, just so my daughter could listen to some tunes. Has two sets of key, one original GM set and backup set.

The body of this car is in overall good shape. All the bodywork was done prior to me getting the car. As you can see it is painted a “Man Purple” color. There is some rust on the car and pictures in description show the trouble areas, so there are no surprises. The hood will need to be replaced, poor paint prep has left some of the areas prone. Please review the included pictures to see the rust locations and severity.  None of the rust areas are through the body. The car does clean up very nice.  The top on the car is need of replacement; it was outfitted with a glass back window, which is included in purchase. Most cars have plastic back windows, which fade and become a problem. The interior was redone around the same time as the paint, it shows some wear and cracking from sun on the top of the rear seats. Seat belts for four mounted in the car.  Carpet is faded, but I have placed a nice NOS floor mat in the front.

The car will come with a lot of parts, around seven plastic tubs and many boxes. Parts are not all convertible specific, but Nova 62-65. I believe it will all fit in the car with the top up for transport, if being shipped. Parts included the following and more. NOS Brake light kits X 4, NOS door lock kits, trim, two NOS floor mats for wagon, nice kick panel vents, nice windwing glass, low mileage heater, trim, gauges, hubcaps, window sets (tinted wagon), Pypes SS exhaust for passenger side with muffler, wiring, brackets, misc nuts, bolts, etc. Also included is a brand new California Car Cover custom fit cover, replacing the previous one.

UPDATE 9/3/14: I was asked to check the floor pans for an interested party. Pictures have been taken are available via requesting through eBay. The passenger side of the floor is 100% solid and in great shape. The driveride, has few spots that are through, near drain plugs, however the previous owner patched from above and riveted the patch on. I tried to remove the carpet for better pictures, but it is glued so well it will be a full day job. Any questions please message through eBay. Thank for looking.

This is a list of thing I know the car needs done if wanted:

-        Hook up heater

o   Included is a low mileage heater with a good heater core. (Removed from a 40K car)

-       Roof to top latches

o   These will need to be replaced

-       Vent windows

o   Driverside is cracked and rusted, have OEM glass will perfect chrome to replace (both side)

-       Alignment

o   Car does pull a little to the left

-       Replace top

o   If planning on driving in weather, replacement of the top would be smart. Or run with the top down.


This has been a great family car for us, but a new project is on the way and the convertible needs to find a new home.

I am willing to work with the new owner on assisting with getting the car shipped. I will make sure it is packed and secure for the shipper to pickup.

I am the current owner and it has a clean CA title in my name. The car will come with the original CA black plates. I have the records from the previous owner also. Totaling around $4500, which was done in the 1990’s.

This is an old vehicle and is sold AS IS.

If you would like to see the car in person, it is located in Capitola CA and I can arrange if needed.

I have tried to provided an honest and complete description unlike many do on eBay, if you would like specific pictures or have any questions, please contact me through eBay.

This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

A deposit of $500.00 via Paypal is required at end of auction within 24 hours, the remaining amount is due within 7 days. 

Thank you.

GM earnings rise 1% as buyers pay more for popular pickups

Thu, Aug 1 2019

DETROIT — General Motors said Thursday that higher prices for popular pickup trucks and SUVs helped overcome slowing global sales and profit rose by 1% in the second quarter. The Detroit automaker said it made $2.42 billion, or $1.66 per share, from April through June. Adjusting for restructuring costs, GM made $1.64 per share, blowing by analyst estimates of $1.44. Quarterly revenue fell 2% to $36.06 billion, but still beat estimates. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $35.97 billion. Global sales fell 6% to 1.94 million vehicles led by declines in North America and Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The company says sales in China were weak, and it expects that to continue through the year. In the United States, customers paid an average of $41,461 for a GM vehicle during the quarter, an increase of 2.2%, as buyers went for loaded-out pickups and SUVs, according to the Edmunds.com auto pricing site. The U.S. is GM's most profitable market. Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara said she expects the strong pricing to continue, especially as GM rolls out a diesel pickup and new heavy-duty trucks in the second half of the year. "We think the fundamentals do remain strong, especially in the truck market," she said, adding that strength in the overall economy and aging trucks now on the road should help keep the trend going. Light trucks accounted for 83.1% of GM's sales in the quarter, and pickup truck sales rose 8.5% as GM transitioned to new models of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, according to Edmunds, which provides content to The Associated Press. As usual, GM made most of its money in North America, reporting $3 billion in pretax earnings. International operations including China broke even, while the company spent $300 million on its GM Cruise automated vehicle unit. Its financial arm made $500 million in pretax income. Suryadevara said GM saw $700 million in savings during the quarter from restructuring actions announced late last year that included cutting about 8,000 white-collar workers through layoffs, buyouts and early retirements. The company also announced plans to close five North American factories, shedding another 6,000 jobs. About 3,000 factory workers in the U.S. whose jobs were eliminated at four plants will be placed at other factories, but they could have to relocate. GM expects the restructuring to generate $2 billion to $2.5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of this year.

GM seeks national mandate for zero-emissions cars

Fri, Oct 26 2018

DETROIT — General Motors says it will ask the federal government for one national gas mileage standard, including a requirement that a percentage of auto companies' sales be zero-emissions vehicles. Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president of product development, said the company will propose that a certain percentage of nationwide sales be made up of vehicles that run on electricity or hydrogen fuel cells. GM says a nationwide program modeled on such a requirement in California could result in 7 million electric vehicles, or EVs, on U.S. roads by 2030. California wants 15.4 percent of vehicle sales by 2025 to be EVs or other zero emission vehicles. Nine other states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, have adopted those requirements. In January, California Governor Jerry Brown set a target of 5 million zero-emission vehicles in California by 2030. The Trump administration criticizes California's ZEV mandate, saying it requires automakers to spend tens of billions of dollars developing vehicles that most consumers do not want, only to sell them at a loss. Reuss told reporters that governments and industries in Asia and Europe "are working together to enact policies now to hasten the shift to an all-electric future. It's very simple: America has the opportunity to lead in the technologies of the future." A national mandate also would create jobs and reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and "make EVs more affordable," Reuss added. GM, the nation's largest automaker, will spell out the request Friday in written comments on a Trump administration proposal to roll back Obama-era fuel economy and emissions standards, freezing them at 2020 levels instead of gradually making them tougher. Under a regulation finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency at the end of the Obama administration, the fleet of new automobiles would have to get 36 miles per gallon by 2025, 10 mpg higher than the current requirement. But the Trump administration's preferred plan is to freeze the standards starting in 2021. Administration officials say waiving the tougher fuel efficiency requirements would make vehicles more affordable, which would get safer cars into consumer hands more quickly. GM on Thursday said it doesn't support the freeze, but wants flexibility to deal with consumers' shift from cars to less-efficient SUVs and trucks.
