The original 95 owner told me his story why he bought this Nova. He bought this Convertible off the showroom floor 12/24/1961 for a surprise Christmas gift for his wife. So this was her car. They did not have any kids so she was the only driver. Always garaged, She passed away in 1996. After that it was in and out of storage for quite sometime. He would fire it up a few times a year for a short drive.
Everything works, Most of the Roman Red paint is originalWhite OriginalTop In Great Condition, with new white boot the original red boot comes with the car. The Chrome in amazing condition, The grilleis in wonderful condition. The Bumpers have a few scuffs a small dent or two, The side molding trim has a lot of dings, But some are not to bad, But the rare trim is all there! The floor Pans, Doors, Trunk, Hood and Jams very solid no rust, All original Glass,There are a few small surface rust spots under convertible boot, They do not go all the way through.It comes with original hub caps only that are in some ofthe pictures.
