62 Canadian Nova Convertible - For sale or trade, bring it back to Canada
Permalink  

I have a 62 Chevy Nova 400 convertible built in Oshawa and sold new in Alberta.  I have GM Canada documentation and the car is one of 1451 built in Canada.  It also has a power top from the factory and that option was not available from the factory on U.S. built Nova convertibles in 62.
This car is a complete original car with one repaint, years ago.  The car is driveable, the drivetrain was replaced by the previous owner who owned the car for 21 yrs until I bought it about 8 years ago.
The only part of the car that is not original is the 350 V-8 and 350 turbo trans.  Car has factory bucket seats with a column shift.  Exterior is twilight turqoise and interior is aqua.  Convertible top is white.  The car is a driver and could stand to have most everything updated.  It comes with an aqua factory boot for the top.
When I bought this car, I drove it from British Columbia to Reno and then to Michigan.  Eveerything works on the car and it got about 16 mpg when I drove it across the U.S.
The power top has stopped working and will need to be repaired.  Windshield is cracked.  The car has always been stored inside and needs minor rust repair.
The car is stored in Michigan and I'm currently in Florida.  I will be returning to Michigan in mid-april.
Delivery of the car is available in my enclosed trailer for a very reasonable fee.
I want $12,000 USD for the car.  
Please email me for additional information and pictures.  Halletts1@chartermi.net

RE: 1962 Canadian Chevy Nova Convertible - For sale

I wanted to bump this ad because I'm heading home from Florida this month.  I should be in Michigan about April 16 and at that time I plan to offer both of my cars for sale.  When I complete a sale of one of the cars, I will take the remaining car off the market.  I will always have at least one collectible car in the garage.
We are exploring the possibility of buying property in Florida for a winter home and that is the only reason for sale of one of my cars.  Plus the fact I can give up my storage and keep all my old car stuff at home.

Carl, there are so many Canadians down here, you must be related to one of them.
Actually, there are a group of Canadians here in Ft Myers that have formed a "Canadian Home Owners Association".  They have pooled their money and they are buying up foreclosed properties in the Ft Myers area for future sale to fellow Canadians.  You may be able to get the Canadian discount by paying in CDN $.

I wanted to bump this ad up because I'm currently in Florida until April and would like to sell this car while the market is good for a convertible.
Therefore, I'm lowering the price to $10,000 which includes delivery to Sarnia or Sault ST Marie, ON upon my return to Michigan in April.
Of course the car can also be delivered to any location between Florida and Michigan during my return trip in April.
We are currently using the car for daily transportation while her in Ft Myers, FL and I will be driving it up to the National Nostalgic Nova club mini convention in Kissimmee, FL, Feb. 24-28, 2010.
For those of you car poor like myself, I will consider any and all trades except those that involve me adding cash to the car.
I prefer to discuss sale or trading terms via email  Halletts1@chartermi.net
Thanks for looking,  Norm

Where are all the Canadian Saviors, bring this car back to Canada.
Permalink  

Help me out here all you Canadian Saviors.  I recently refused to sell this car to a guy here in the U.S. that had no interest in the Canadian Heritage and expressed a desire to paint it red.
I told him I would not sell him the car because he had no appreciation of a true survivor car, one of 1451 built, limited two years of production and a convertible that is structually sound when so many of these unibody cars are not.
You can enhance the performance of the 350 V-8 with upgrades to the suspension and wheels & tires.  Or, you can bolt the 4 lug 13" wheels back on with the original hub caps and enjoy the originality of this 48 year old car with an excellent color scheme true to the late 50's-early 60's.
Thanks for looking,  Norm
Last summer I installed a new tinted windshield with new gasket and a couple weeks ago I installed a new power top pump/motor combo that works great and the car looks great with the top down and the original aqua boot installed.  My wife and I took about a 20 mile drive yesterday with the top down.

Red!!!??? Ick! Looks marvelous in its original color scheme. A nice-looking cruiser. With a little surprise punch under the hood. If I had room for it ... I guess if I had a second Canadian-built car I could apply for dual citizenship, eh? smile.gif

In the early 90's we had a 86 Chrysler convertible, retired from daily duty, that we kept for when our kids who lived out of state came to visit so they had a Flordia Cruiser, an added enticement for them to come. I don't know if I would trust any of our kids with a classic like Norm's, though. Would I trust Carl??? Hmmmm smile.gif

Yes, $100 will get you Courtsey Curb Service at Ft Myers International Airport.  Just send me the day, time and flight # and I will arrive with the top down and load your luggage.

So some get disgruntled when our friends south of the border buy our Cdn cars, yet we buy their realestate.  My ideal solution would be to own a Cdn classic (like this one) while living in Florida.  Alas, young kids and too many bills...
Good luck with the sale, and thanks for caring enough to try to find it a respectful owner!

Well I may be jumping the gun here but at least at this time it appears the convertible won't be going back to Canada.  We have certainly enjoyed having it down here in Florida and rediscovered the joy and pleasure of driving around town and on the highway with the top down.
We drove the car up to Kissimmee a couple weeks ago in mid to high 70's with the top down and with the for sale sign in the window, we were stopped twice on the highway by people interested in getting a number and taking a closer look at the car.
About 6 weeks ago I listed the car on racing junk dot com as a sell or trade and that has generated 10-12 valid trade offers.
After bypassing the trucks, motorcycles and mustangs, I ended up with two nice Novas, offered by guys seriously wanting to own a convertible.
Normally, I would not consider trading a convertible for a hardtop but both of these cars come equipped with a legit L-79 under the hood.
I have made a choice between the two cars, going for the legit SS car with the original interior, muncie 4 spd and my favorite turquoise interior.
We will be going to New York next month before going home and upon inspection by both parties, hopefully, we will trade and he gets a convertible and I take home an L-79 car that I have always wanted to own.
I will never own a car collection but owning them one at a time isn't all bad.

NICE....great to hear , hope the L79 turns out to be the gem it sounds like!!

can't go wrong, owning the ones you want one at a time is smart !! get to enjoy them that way, and not do continual maintenance...just ask me!!

Well, I did jump the gun on the L-79 car.  The owner finally realized my convertible is not a restored car but a survivor.
Let me bump this back up for your viewing pleasure.
Please email me with any interesting traders that are complete and driveable.
Thanks,  Norm

I took the opportunity yesterday to uncover some of the unknown area's of
my convertible.  I have stated all along that the only area needing rust repair
was visible on the exterior of the car.
In order to prove or disprove this statement, I decided to remove the rear seat
and expose one of the most vulnerable area's of a Nova convertible.
Many of these cars were stored outside and the plastic rear window was very
vulnerable to the weather.  So many times the rear window would crack and allow
moisture into the area behind the rear seat.  This area is totally inaccessible
from the trunk or rear seat unless the seat is removed.  I have many many times
heard from people that removed the rear seat of their convertible only to find
rusted seat springs and/or floor pan area.  These rear seats are unique to the
convertible only and routinely bring $500 on eBay.
Attached are pictures of what I found after removing the rear seat of my
convertible.
You can see the seat springs and brackets still have the original black paint on
them with no signs of even surface rust.  The floor area under the rear seat is
better than you could ever expect from a 48 year old car.  Again, remember, the
floor pan and incorporated braces are the total support for this unibody car
with no permanent top.
