I'm a Nova guy too. I have the 1962 2 door hard top car my mom bought new. White with red guts. My dad did a .125" overbore 283/4-speed swap in 1963, drove it until 1972 then stored it... thankfully inside. It was given to me in 2013 with 27k miles. I freshened it up and it's now near perfect. I love that car and it goes like hell! I then bought a 1962 wagon in 2017 from a junk yard in Oklahoma on line. It was like yours...good bones but no floor and trashed. I stripped it, new floors, added borgenson power steering, power brakes, AC, tilt steering, cruise and a fuel injected 87 Corvette TPI 350/TH700R4. It's nearing completion with the paint and body work. Hopefully done by spring. Hopefully
I know exactly how that feels! Its awesome to see there's other people like me out there with these old wagons! Hopefully mine should be back on the road by next summer...hopefully
Became a Chauffer at 15 8 months in a 63 Nova Wagon at 16 started looking for a car, wanted a dependable 6 cyl. 3 speed car. Most in my price range were trash. Salesmen kept telling my Parents I'd hop it up like most kids. No I kept saying I want dependable; I want Freedom not a project like my friends stuck in a driveway. ended up at 17 6 months with a Rambler always wanted a two door 6 cyl Nova with underdash add on A/C
From humble beginnings my guy! Enjoyed being able to be a small part in helping you fix it up from time to time! Can't wait to see the next part 👍
Love all the help I have gotten from you man!
