Moebius 2320
The Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova is a small automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, and produced in five generations for the 1962 through 1979, and 1985 through 1988 model years. Nova was the top model in the Chevy II lineup through 1968. The Chevy II nameplate was dropped after 1968, with Nova becoming the nameplate for all of the 1969 through 1979 models. Built on the X-body platform, the Nova was replaced by the 1980 Chevrolet Citation introduced in the spring of 1979. The Nova nameplate returned in 1985, produced through 1988 as a S-car based, NUMMI manufactured, subcompact based on the front wheel drive, Japan home-based Toyota Sprinter.
After the rear-engine Chevrolet Corvair was outsold by the conventional Ford Falcon in 1960, Chevrolet completed work on a more conventional compact car that would eventually become the Chevy II. The car was of semi-unibody construction having a bolt on front section joined to its unitized cabin and trunk rear section, available in two- and four-door sedan configurations as well as convertible and 4-door station wagon versions. The 1962 Chevy II came in three series and five body styles-the 100 Series, 300 Series and Nova 400 Series. A 200 series was also introduced, but was discontinued almost immediately.[2] The sportiest-looking of the lot was the US$2,475 ($21,175 in 2020 dollars [3]) Nova 400 convertible-23,741 were produced that year.
Available engines for the Chevy II in 1962 and 1963 included Chevrolet's inline-four engine of 153 cu in (2.5 l) and a new 194 cu in (3.2 l) Hi-Thrift straight-six engine. All Chevy II engines featured overhead valves. A V8 engine was not available in 1962 and 1963. With no documentation proving it, the legend of a dealer installed V8 engine being in a 1962 or 1963 model year Chevy II is a myth. Refer to the GM Heritage Center 1963 Chevrolet Nova information available on the GM Heritage site.[5] In addition, that documentation does not list a V8 engine as a possible dealer installed option.
In 1962 and 1963 the Nova option for the Chevy II was available in a convertible body style, and a two-door hardtop was available from 1962 to 1965, although the hardtop was dropped when the 1964 models were first introduced, but subsequently brought back to the line later in the model year. Like all Chevy two-door hardtops, the body style was marketed as the Sport Coupe.
For 1963, the Chevy II Nova Super Sport was released, under RPO Z03.[6] It featured special emblems, instrument package, wheel covers, side moldings, bucket seats, and floor shifter, and was available only on the 400 series sport coupe and convertible.[6] Cost of the package was US$161.40, equal to $1,364.36 today.[7] As mentioned above, the Nova option could not officially have V8 engines at this time-the standard SS engine was the six-cylinder (this was also applicable to the Impala (and later the early Chevelle c. 1964-65) when the SS was a sport and appearance package)-but small-block V8 engine swaps were commonplace among enthusiasts.
For 1964, sales were hit hard by the introduction of the new Chevelle,[8] and the Chevy II received its first factory V8 option, a 195 hp (145 kW) 283 cu in (4.6 l), as well as a 230 cu in (3.8 l) straight six.[9] The six-cylinder was all-new, replacing the older Stovebolt engine.
The Nova Super Sport came as a Sport Coupe only, and its production dipped to just 9,100 cars. Super Sports had a new brushed-chrome console with floor-mounted four-speed manual transmission or Powerglide automatic, but a column-mounted three-speed manual remained standard. Bucket seats wore textured vinyl trim, and the dashboard held ammeter, oil pressure, and temperature gauges. An expanded engine lineup gave customers six power choices of the six-cylinder or V-8 engines; the four-cylinder was available only in the 100. But, for Chevy II enthusiasts, 1965 is best remembered as the year the Chevy II became a muscle car. A 327 cu in (5.4 l) V8 was available with up to 300 hp (220 kW), suddenly putting Nova SS performance practically on a par with the GTO, 4-4-2, and 271 bhp Mustang 289s-at least in straight-line acceleration. Midyear also brought a more potent 283 with dual exhausts and 220 horsepower.
Nicely built detailing on the little Chevy
I got them both and I'm using the '65 body to build my Dad's Nova when he was a teen. His was a '64 two-door post. The parts are wonderfully interchangeable, as should be expected!
That chassis is going to look great under the AMT 63 Chevy II wagon!
Chris, That is the color I need for mine. It was my sister's and she just bought it new.(65) She left me use it to go to junior prom 1966. I loved that car. Maroon poly, 283, 4-speed.
That's a GREAT kit to build and the Gasser was enjoyable too!! 👍👍👍
Great build and great review of this kit. Love the color choice for the body. I am so happy that you built this one first. Everyone on CZcams is building the ‘65 gasser, but this version is the one I am most interested in seeing and, eventually, purchasing. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate it.
It even has the power steering slave unit attached to the center link! Nice.
OMG!!! Nova II is my favorite Chevy of all time. Model Round up here I come. Thanks again for the build. Can't wait....
Nice looking model! Ordered my 64 Nova last week. Can't wait to build it!
Bumper options..... front & rear. LOL. I can't even count how many times I've had a brain fart just like that. Keep up the good work & never stop being human by editing things like that out of the videos.
Wow! I'm an "older" guy and this brings back memories. . .I took my driving test to get my first drivers license in a 1962 Nova. . .The examiner flunked me the first time because a light turned yellow just as we were about to enter an intersection and instead of slamming on the brakes I just went through. Came back the next day though and got my license. . .Memories. . .
You're the Wilson of model building. Home Improvement we saw his eyes and hat. We just see your hands. 🤣
This kit looks awesome...I just ordered this and the Gasser from Model Roundup
I've never had a moebius kit, but wow this looks incredible
I had the thought that this might be a reissue of the Trumpeter kit, but theirs was a ‘63 Nova. I have the convertible Trumpeter’63 Nova, would love the hardtop.
SSWWEEETT Lil Car Chris ‼️🤗👍👍, God Bless All.
Nice model. Mobius is good stuff. Love the detail and really nice job Chris. I love the Molotow pens myself. SO much easier than Bare Metal Foil imho. And I think it's easier to get the chrome trim more to scale, again imho. Sometimes the trim comes out looking too wide is all ahm sayin.... Well what do I know anyway...
Awsome it's on my list of mudt haves like wagon too
Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobius! Crisp moldings!
Nice kit 👌
