1962 CHEVY II NOVA 400 CONVERTIBLE LONG STORY SHORT, I BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT 13 YRS AGO WITH HOPES OF RESTORING, BUT NEVER STARTED THE RESTORATION, THE MAIN PROBLEM WAS I HAVEN'T HAD THE EXTRA MONEY TO DO IT. IT DOES RUN AND DRIVE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE ONLY STARTED IT AND MOVED IT AROUND A COUPLE TIMES EACH YEAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT, AND HAVEN'T TAKEN IT DOWN THE ROAD IN PROBABLY 8 YRS. IT IS A FUN LITTLE CAR TO HAVE. IT HAS A LOT OF POTENTIAL, AND JUST NEEDS SOME TLC. I'M GETTING RID OF IT BECAUSE I COULD USE THE MONEY, AND NEED THE SPACE IT'S OCCUPYING. I COLLECT COINS AND CAST IRON COOKWARE OF ALL KINDS, SO I WOULD CONSIDER A PARTIAL TRADE AS WELL IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN THOSE AREAS. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GOT, AND WE'LL TALK. WHO KNOWS??? IT NEEDS NEW TOP, FLOOR PANS, TRUNK MECHANISM OPENS WITH A SCREWDRIVER, BUT HAVE THE PART THAT THE KEY GOES INTO IF I HAD THE KEY, MISSING ONE WIPER ARM. THE TOP HAS A FEW RI[S. AND IN ROUGH SHAPE, BUT IT GOES UP AND DOWN. IT'S A MANUAL TYPE. THE VENT WINDOWS ARE INTACT BUT CRACKED. THE CHROME ON THE BUMPERS SHOULD BE REDONE. I HAVE MOST OF THE TRIM FOR THE EXTERIOR LAYING IN THE BARN, AND HEADLIGHT BEZELS ARE SITTING ON THE SEAT. IT IS SOLID UNDER THE HOOD AND INSIDE THE TRUNK. BRAKES WORK BUT SHOULD HAVE SOME ATTENTION ONE FRONT CATCHES HARDER SO IT PULLS ONE WAY. IT SMOKES SOME AFTER IT HAS WARMED UP, PROBABLY FROM VALVE GUIDES DRYING & SEEPING FROM LACK OF RUNNING, OR MAYBE FROM THE TRANS FLUID I DUMPED DOWN THE CARB IN THE PAST BEFORE STARTING JUST TO LUBE EVERYTHING UP BEFORE FIRING IT. SITS MORE THAN ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT. I HAVE ALWAYS STORED IT INDOORS SINCE I GOT IT. THE FRONT SEAT NEEDS WORK, BUT THE BACK SEAT IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION. WIPER MOTOR DOESN'T WORK IF I REMEMBER RIGHT. IT NEEDS A RADIO, BUT I DO HAVE IT'S OUTSIDE RADIO FACE PLATE. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE - 2 SPEED AUTO. 13" RUBBER, NOT ORIGINAL HUBCAPS VEGA MAYBE?. PAINT NEEDS REDONE. WAS A BLUE BUT SOMEONE PAINTED OVER IT IN BLACK. I STARTED SANDING OFF THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO SEE WHAT WAS UNDER IT. THERE IS A FLAW IN WINDSHIELD WHERE A STONE HIT IT, THE ROUND CRACK IS ABOUT 1/2" IN DIAMETER BUT STILL INTACT. THE DOOR ARM RESTS NEED SOME WORK. THE PEDAL IS MISSING FROM THE ACCELATOR ON FLOOR, JUST THE STEEL ROD THAT IT ATTACHES TO IS THERE. THE ENGINE GOT A NEW CAP & ROTOR ABOUT 8 YRS AGO. THE AIR BREATHER IS MISSING. I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED WHEN I STARTED IT LAST WEEK THAT THE HEATER CORE HAS DEVELOPED A SMALL LEAK. THE ORIGINAL INGNITION KEY IS MISSING, BUT THE MECHANISM WORKS WITH OUT IT. IF YOU NEED ANY PARTICULAR PICTURES THAT ARE NOT SHOWN LET ME KNOW AND I CAN SHOOT WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE AND SEND THEM TO YOU IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS BUYER. CAN'T THINK OF WHAT ELSE TO SAY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL ME, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM, AND USUALLY DONE WITHIN 24 HRS. PAYMENT TERMS OF THIS CAR: I WOULD LIKE $500 SENT TO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT AND THE REST IN CASH OR TRADE WITH IN 10 DAYS, UNLESS WE DISCUSS AND COME UP WITH DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENTS. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!!
