1965 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova

1965 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova, finished in white with a black interior.

• This Chevy II has been extensively modified for racing. Its factory-fitted drivetrain has reportedly been replaced by a General Motors-sourced 6.2-liter LS3 V8 and a Tremec T-56 6-speed manual transmission.
• A partial list of notable currently installed equipment reported by the seller includes a Holley Terminator X engine management system, a trunk-mounted fuel cell, a Total Cost Involved front and rear suspension system, Wilwood Engineering front and rear disc brakes, fiberglass body panels, and Corbeau front seats.
• The first-generation Chevy II made its debut for 1962 as a more mainstream alternative to the compact Corvair. The model was offered in numerous body styles, including two- and four-door sedans, and buyers had several engines to choose from. Production ended after the 1965 model year, and the Nova designation used as a trim level on the original Chevy II later became a standalone model.
• Power comes from a 6.2-liter V8, rated at 429 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque according to a dyno sheet pictured in the gallery. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
