The Chevy II saw significant growth in 1963 when the GM brand debuted the Nova Super Sport option. Although it kind of contradicts the idea of the Super Sport, the Chevy II wasn’t yet available with a V8, as the first such upgrade was offered a year later. The Nova SS, also known as RPO Z03, could only be bought with a six-cylinder engine.
It does not, however, imply that a Nova SS with a V8 under the engine is unattainable. Many buyers of the car expressly for the SS upgrade—which came with bucket seats, a floor shifter, wheel covers, a unique instrument cluster, and the Super Sport emblems—turned out to be the ones who replaced the stock engine with a V8.
As a result, the Super Sport got the performance treatment it deserved, though not in official ways. Chevrolet noticed the growing demand for V8s, so in 1964, it finally introduced a 283 with 195 horsepower.
The previous generation of the Nova SS retains the six-cylinder engine that Chevrolet fitted before it left the manufacturing line in place instead of a V8.
Because it possesses the three magic factors that collectors seek out these days—it is undamaged, original, and unrestored—the car looks amazing for its age. The vendor claims that the car was originally bought by his grandfather and then stored by his father, but it has been in the same family for the entirety of its existence.
The vehicle hasn’t seen the road since 1980, but it still survived the test of time with flying colors. You won’t find any concerning rust on this Nova, or at least, that’s what the owner promises. There’s only surface damage, which you should be able to deal with quite easily, but otherwise, the floors and the trunk pan shouldn’t be wrecked.
The car has probably been kept in excellent condition on all fronts by being kept in a garage with the proper humidity levels. Aside from a few small tweaks, the interior looks fantastic, and the Nova SS won’t need any further repairs.
Regarding the engine’s functioning condition, the owner remains silent, but I don’t anticipate a seizure. It’s safe to assume that a car this nice at least rolls over by hand because it probably has a running mill, but you should still inquire about the engine.
