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.

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.

$24,999

The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked the end of the C3 era, making it a fitting final chapter for one of the Corvette’s most recognizable generations. This example shows approximately 50,346 miles and pairs its 350ci L83 V8 with Cross-Fire electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in silver with a dark gray lower accent over a light gray leather interior, it carries the unmistakable late-C3 look with removable glass T-tops, factory alloy wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and the model’s sculpted front and rear aero treatment. An aftermarket air conditioning system adds a useful modern touch to a car that still feels very much rooted in the early-1980s Corvette experience.

1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Current Ask
$47,200

The 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was built as Chevrolet’s personal-luxury coupe, but this example leans much harder into the muscle-car side of that formula. Showing approximately 69,681 miles, it has been upgraded with a 350ci BluePrint V8, 4-barrel carburetor, Turbo 350 3-speed automatic, aftermarket headers, and an aftermarket exhaust system. Power steering, power disc brakes, upgraded suspension components, and factory air conditioning make the package far more usable than a stripped-down street build, while Rally wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and a black vinyl top preserve the period look enthusiasts expect from an early Monte Carlo.

1964 Chevrolet C10 Restomod LS3

Current Ask
$275,000

This 1964 Chevrolet C10 Restomod has the look of a proper custom street truck and the hardware to make good on it. Showing just 475 miles, it packs a 6.2L LS3 V8, electronic fuel injection, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic, and a Ford 9-inch rear end into one seriously reworked classic Chevy platform. A custom frame, aftermarket suspension setup, and 4-wheel disc brakes give the truck a far more modern foundation underneath, while the black paint and copper-finished wheels bring the kind of stance and attitude that make a build like this hard to ignore. It is the sort of C10 that appeals as much to the person who wants to inspect every detail at a show as it does to someone who simply wants to fire up an LS-powered classic and enjoy the drive.
