1962 Chevy Nova Rescue

[CC Rider]

It's Friday night, it's raining, I'm bored, so I thought I would post some pictures you may find entertaining. Hope you enjoy it.

I work part time on (some) Saturdays at a friend's repair shop. It's another way to put some extra cash in my pocket to support my car car hobby. Anyway, a regular customer had repeated told us over the years of a '62 Nova that had been in her family since new and wanted to have towed back to Maryland so she could fix it up and sell it.

In January of 2007, she told us her parents had died, the property was up for sale, and the Nova HAD to be removed from the garage or she would lose it. It seems it was willed to her. After some communication back and forth, the address was obtained,and I was asked to come along to help and, as I always do, take pictures. We had no idea what condition the car would be in, only that it did not run from sitting so long.


When we arrived, her brother (very protective of the property) opened the door to the garage. Some large items needed to be removed from the entrance, but luckily nothing was piled on the car.


Once we cleared the right side away and removed the remains of a car cover, this is what we found.



The missing trim was found in the trunk.



Can't say I've ever seen an interior decor like this!






These were found on a shelf by the left rear of the car.
