Saddle Tan w/Tan interior 327ci V8, 3-spd automatic transmission.
It's not often that we get in a Nova station wagon. Come to think of it, it's not often we get in station wagon's of any kind! However, we thought this one was special enough to add to our inventory and we think you'll agree!
Wagons of all shapes and sizes were very popular in the '50's and '60's. As our rapidly expanding freeway system allowed for easy cross country travel, more and more families wanted to explore the U.S. together. And what better way than the "family wagon". As time went on and the S.U.V. became the family conveyance of choice, the wagon kind of drifted into the sunset as a relic of the past. However, they never fell out of favor with the surfing and hot rod crowd! As a result, you can occasionally still see them on the street in various stages modification. That being said, it's become a much rarer sight to see a wagon that appears to be completely stock and void of custom paint, a blower sticking out of the hood and a narrowed and tubbed rear end. Not that there's anything wrong with that! But, there are exceptions to this rule. Which brings us to our featured wagon . . .
We acquired this '63 Nova from a client who just purchased a '67 Corvette from us. At first glance, it appears completely stock with it's arrow straight body, Saddle Tan paint and beautiful interior with a rare, rear facing bench seat still in place! But a look under the hood belies appearance with a "slightly worked" 327 V8 and Turbo 350 3-spd transmission replacing the straight 6-cyl engine and 2-spd Powerglide transmission it was born with! Dealer installed V8 conversions were quite popular back in the day. And although we don't know if this engine was dropped in way back when or a number of years after, we do know that it makes for quite a nice package, with power to cruise the highways and byways of America and room to spare for family or friends. And with options including factory a-c (not currently working), power front disc brakes, power steering and radial tires, you'll want to take this Nova out every chance you get! It's also documented with the original Shipped, Dealer Invoice, Oklahoma Title and Owner's Manual! A neat wagon indeed! Stock #5770
