The Chevrolet Nova 1962-1965 was built from 1962 to 1965.
The Nova, the most traded version: The first-generation Chevrolet Nova represents one of GM's most successful compact car launches, though calling it a sports car stretches the definition. Built on the new X-body platform, the Nova replaced the troublesome Corvair as Chevy's compact entry. The clean, Bill Mitchell-influenced styling aged gracefully, while the 194-cubic-inch inline-six provided reliable motivation. What makes early Novas collectible today is their transformation potential—these cars became the foundation for countless muscle car builds thanks to their robust chassis and engine bay that easily accommodated small-block V8s. The SS versions, introduced in 1963, offered factory performance with 283 and later 327 V8s. Production exceeded 1.8 million units across four years, making survivors relatively affordable entry points into the collector market. Clean, original examples are increasingly sought after, while modified versions showcase the platform's versatility that made it a favorite among hot rodders for decades.
