Car description

Very restorable 63 Nova 400 Sport Coupe hot rod/gasser/SS clone project. It is a project being sold as-is, but overall and all things considered, is a solid foundation that will need only minimal metal repairs/patching in a few spots. The trans tunnel was cut out for a floor shifter at some point in time, thus the sheet metal piece there right now in the floor pic(not a big deal IMHO). The previous owner did some initial, small patching work in the top front of both fenders. Also repaired the right inner fender area behind the hood hinge, and started doing the same on the left side but is not done yet(I have the steel section he was going to graft in there). You can see this in the pics if you look closely. I also took a pic of the area at the base of the left rear inner wheel well that will need a small bit of repair work. These are common rust issue areas on these as most with Nova experience know, so got a good jump on the few areas that need minimal work. I can send pics of any particular areas of interest not shown in this auction.
Car is a roller only - no motor or tranny. Sale includes about $800 worth of brand new parts for a front end disc brake 5 bolt conversion that includes brake booster, etc. - still new in boxes. Car has a 10 bolt rear end, do not know gear ratio but likely an open rear with highway gears. It rolls nicely(towed home on a car dolly 300 miles with no issues).

I have all the glass in nice shape, and most of the trim, except for the stainless pieces that go around the back of the decklid. I will have to double check on the bezels for around the headlights, but believe those are there as well. Speedometer, gauges, taillights, inside and outside door handles, and other items all in a box as well. Has a fiberglass rear bumper. Have other things like new motor/trans mounts, old chrome traction bars and maybe a couple more items I am not remembering. Rear wheel wells were radiused at some point. The previous owner started re-doing the left side lip just before I bought it. He also started welding in some of the side trim holes as he was going smooth on the body with no trim.
Picked up last year near South Dakota/Nebraska border as it sits in pics. Car was stripped by previous owner and has no interior, except a nice black vinyl rear seat. I do have a pair of manual black vinyl bucket seats from a later model vehicle I was going to use in it - will throw them in on the deal if buyer wants them.

*. * An original, real deal straight axle front clip from a 64 Nova that ran on drag strips back in the day. It's a stock front clip that was modified for the strip with a Ford straight axle installed - would just need to unbolt the stock front clip and bolt this one on. I was not able to get a pic of it at this time for the auction. It is in need of some clean up and/or reconditioning, but is a functional, complete gasser front clip. I was going to use it for my gasser build. If you don't want it, I will gladly keep it! I can send pics outside this auction to anyone interested.
Clear MN title in my name. Shipping is responsibility of the buyer. I can help load, and would consider delivering for a fee within a couple hundred mile radius of St Joseph, MN. No bidders with zero feedback. $500 Paypal down payment due within 24 hrs of end of auction - will not accept full payment via Paypal, down payment only.
Ask any questions before bidding. I am easy to work with, just communicate - my reserve is very fair!!

Took some more pics today for another eBayer. Cannot add any more to this auction, but can send more pics of inside the trunk and a lot of other areas to anyone seriously interested. As far as interior, I do have the visors, door arm rests, headliner bows and misc items - do not have the door or quarter trim panels. Also have things like wipers, antenna, emblems, etc.

I took pics of all the trim I got with the car, the interior parts and other parts, and all the parts from the Speedway disc brake 5 bolt conversion kit. Also a pic of the trim plate from the cowl. If you are seriously interested I can send these pics to you.
