Overview of 1965 Chevrolet Nova For Sale by Owner

Chevrolet's Chevy II and Nova was a compact car that was made between 1961 and 1979. It resurfaced briefly in the eighties as a subcompact, too. A small car from Chevy in the sixties might have seemed rather uncharacteristic, when the automaker was making large and potent machines. However, there were plenty of people who preferred something smaller but could still give them the performance thrills with a V8 under the hood. This first-generation 1965 Chevrolet Nova is a prime example of that fact, and it comes to you after being reportedly refreshed. The current owner reports that the motor is non-numbers matching, but is period correct. That shouldn’t detract from owning this car, though. It’s still a fantastic sixties American classic.

Exterior and Interior

Just cast your eyes on the yellow outlook of this 1965 Chevrolet Nova, and it’s hard not to smile. The car’s two-door hardtop design, paired with its aftermarket mag wheels, gives it a suitably distinctive appearance. It also has new tires, so you can enjoy the drive without worrying about old rubber. Then, the windows have been resealed, ensuring that weather protection is optimal. So, you can drive this sixties beauty through rain or shine, showcasing its beautiful chrome detailing and slim-pillared design with pride. The interior of this 1965 Chevrolet Nova can easily accommodate four adults across the front plus rear bench seats. In fact, during its heyday, six will have crammed into its cabin for joyful jaunts filled with conversation. However, we’d recommend sticking to four. The car’s seats sport new upholstery, and there’s a tilt steering wheel for easier access and better ergonomics. You’ve also got an AM/FM radio with speakers for your entertainment. Popping the trunk reveals an ample space that, even with the spare wheel in situ, can easily handle several pieces of moderately-sized luggage.

Engine

This 1965 Chevrolet Nova comes with a 283ci V8 under the hood that was factory-rated for around 195 horses. Power goes to the rear wheels through a two-speed Powerglide automatic gearbox. The current owner says that the engine has 462 heads, headers, a cam, and a 4-barrel carburetor. Meanwhile, there’s an electric fan to ensure optimal cooling. Disc brakes all around and power steering are present, too, further making driving pleasant in this beautiful classic Chevy.

The custom orange finish gives the car plenty of presence, while Rally-style wheels, factory air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes make the package feel especially usable.

1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours

Current Ask
$25,500

The 1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours Coupe represents the more refined side of Chevrolet’s compact lineup, and this example stands out even further thanks to its rare Concours package and remarkably low 20,299 miles. Finished in Antique White over a Dark Firethorn interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The Concours treatment brought a much more upscale character to the Nova, with a Dark Firethorn vinyl roof, woodgrain interior trim, additional brightwork, and a comfort-focused cabin that separated it from more basic examples. The seller also reports that the interior still smells like new, a detail that speaks to just how unusually preserved the cabin feels. With its low mileage, rare Concours specification, V8 power, and distinctively 1970s luxury-oriented presentation, this Nova offers a particularly interesting blend of originality, comfort, and classic Chevrolet character.

1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod

Current Ask
$39,700

The El Camino has always lived in its own lane—part muscle car, part pickup, and all attitude—and this 1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod leans hard into the performance side of that equation. Showing approximately 538 miles, it wears a custom Burgundy finish over a Black Procar interior and packs a 383ci stroker V8 backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. This isn’t a lightly updated cruiser; the build reaches into the engine bay, suspension, braking system, cabin, and supporting hardware to give the first-year El Camino a much sharper, more modern personality while keeping the long-roofline-meets-pickup-bed silhouette that made these cars so memorable in the first place.
