1963 Chevrolet Nova Convertible - NovAir

1963 Chevrolet Nova Convertible Headlight And Grille

Wheels and tires on the Nova consist of a set of polished 15x7-inch American Racing T70 Torq-Thrust wheels wrapped with P195/50x15-inch in the front and P225/60x15-inch Goodyear Eagle radial rubber on the rear.

Powering this beauty is a highly detailed .060-inch overbore, Ed Taylor Racing Engines/Ventura Motorsports '65 327 Corvette "fuelie" engine equipped with a set of TRW 10.5:1 compression pistons, a Competition Cams cam and kit, a set of Kenny Dutweiller-TFS big-valve aluminum alloy cylinder heads, and lots of detailing.

1963 Chevrolet Nova Convertible Steering Wheel

Three of the more interesting features of the interior are its Bill Cook-modified '58-60 Chevrolet Impala steering wheel bolted up to a Bob Chandler-Steering Column Pros '64 Nova/GM six-way-tilt custom steering column, and the '67 Chevelle "knee knocker" mechanical tachometer.

1963 Chevrolet Nova Convertible Rear Suspension

Riding out back is a fully detailed, 3.73:1-geared, Tom's Differentials-axle-equipped, narrowed GM 12-bolt Posi-traction rear axle riding on Nova rear leaf springs equipped with a set of KYB gas-charged shock absorbers.

1963 Chevrolet Nova Convertible Front Suspension

Up front, you'll find a set of chrome-plated '63 Nova control arms hooked up to a pair of Super 2-inch-dropped front spindles equipped with a pair of Superior-Chevelle 11-inch front disc brakes.

1963 Chevrolet Nova Convertible Passenger Side View

Painter/car builder Frank Saenz was able to pick up the "NovAir" project after Steve Sanford became too involved with his booming automotive art and illustration business.

1963 Chevrolet Nova Convertible Interior

Inside, you'll find a Mac's Upholstery-installed PUI/Modern Performance Nova classic white vinyl interior kit with red cut pile carpeting.

This machine is detailed to the nines.

This car is a real beauty.
