    Hello all, Been watching the site for years but just starting to post about working on my 1965 coupe. I've had the car for a year already but unfortunately barely touched it. Got it basically as an empty roller. Spent some money getting parts and getting ready to spend a lot more, so lots of...

    New to the site guys. Hope this is the best place to post this. I have a 65 4 door, I want to know if its possible to do convert it to a 2 door with new quarters and doors. I'm not sure if there's a difference in roof heights, windows and such. I've tried all my research to find out if anyone's...

    Been wanting one of these a LONG time. Finally! My first plan is disc brakes and back seat belts for the teenagers in the family. It came with a 400 small block, 400 turbo transmission and B&M shifter, so I've been having a blast driving it. Found lots of good stuff on this site, thank you for...
  4. Ebay, etc. Discussion
    My grill is a little tired and I thought maybe I would look for a new one. So, I looked on ebay. I found this one for $1500.00 obo. Really? they are that scarce? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Chevy-II-Nova-New-NOS-Grill-/301893540788?hash=item464a41dbb4:g:H88AAOSwoBtW4LnK&vxp=mtr

    I notice all the repop hood spears for 1st generation list 1962-1964. Does 1965 have a unique spear? Is it longer? Different shape? My original 65 spear has 6 attachment points and seems to look like the repop. Unfortunately the chrome though not pitting, does not look so good. Thanks in advance...
  6. 1st & 2nd Generation Chevy II/Nova's
    I have done all of the searching through old threads and the archives on this issue. I want to keep my column shift and go to a tilt column. My car is original manual steering with no modifications to the front end. I see it staying that way for quite a while. From my research, I realize that...

  8. Originality
    I am starting a restoration of a 1965 Nova and it came without some of what I think I will need to mount the headlights. The problem is that since this is my first Nova, I do not know what the headlight mounting looks like in order to see what I am missing. Can anyone who has photos of this...

    I am in need of a firewall for a 65 Nova, 2 door, non-SS car, inline 6. Other than Chevy2, does anybody know where a reproduction can be found? I appreciate it.
  10. Steering, Suspension, and Chassis
    I was all excited when i thought i killed two birds with one stone. I had this wobble in my steering wheel and coincidentally i had a short that was draining my battery. I removed the steering wheel and noticed the turn signal mechanism had a gold colored metallic ring that had worked its way...

  12. Drivetrain & Performance
    Since I am new to this I need advice on an engine and tranny set up. I know a fellow that has a 327, 300HP, with a moderately built TH 350. The engine is 100% complete and already mated to the tranny. He is asking $2000 for the combo and I am not sure if that is a deal or not. Once I buy the...
  13. Drivetrain & Performance
    I will be replacing my V6 and 2 speed Power Glide with a 327 and TH 350. What I am unsure of is the throttle linkage. Does anybody know what changes/modifications I will need to make to the linkage, brackets, or anything else? As you can tell this is my first project and I am open to any and all...
  14. Body and Interior
    Hey guys, I need some help! I recently purchased a 65 Nova and I need some help locating some reasonably priced parts. I need a back seat, a 327 oil pan (I'm taking out the V6 and replacing it with a 327), steering column (converting to floor shift), and a posi trac rear end. I have searched the...
  15. 1st & 2nd Generation Chevy II/Nova's
    Has anyone repaired/replaced the mounting studs on their Trunk Diecast? I have 3 studs that are broken off with about 1/4" remaining. Are these studs screwed in or cast with the rest of the part? My 1965 Diecast is good otherwise. I suppose I could use 3M mounting tape if there is no other...
  16. Body and Interior
    Ive been looking around and I cant seem to find a place that sells a dash pad for a 65. Does anybody know of any places that do? Also, does the dash pad for earlier novas such as 62-64 novas fit on the 65? or are they different?
