1963 Nova Wagon

[DBasher]

You are so ass backwards...LS in a foxbody and foxbody seats in a Nova, I love it! What’s your take on the headlights, are they worth the cabbage?


The armrests, wheel and center console are classic.

Wholly crap, you weren't kidding about the cage for the battery, that thing must weight 200 lbs.!! Does it double as a trailer hitch?

Oh man it is beast. Has a cotter pin that drops one end of the whole thing and it comes down. I seriously think it affects the tail happiness of this car a bit.

Yeah, Foxbody stuff everywhere. Geez....

The plan with the headlights was kinda temporary-ish.... was gonna eventually swap them to the Camaro.... they are absolutely bad ass lights but not sure the look is right.

Awesome family wagon; might be inspired now to make an offer on a mint Falcon wagon that’s parked on the street near me and make similar upgrades. Happy to see you’re hitting up some of the classic eats of Oakland.

Love your wagon.

Nice "project," Dave! What kind of mileage does it get?

Thanks.... that's actually exactly what started the search for ours... we saw a little old lady white 66 Nova Wagon down the block from our 4plex in West Oakland... I talked to that lady twice about it over a few months but no dice. She owned it since early 70's. So we moved on and found this one.

Go get that Falcon!

We got 19 steadily on the trip back from AL to CA... and that was fairly "sprited"

Oh you know I can turn a done car into a project.....

Got it through a friend who is a Ridetech dealer. I never heard of it being discontinued but I don't know about current status.

Thanks! The car seat brackets were just whipped up and fabbed by Vince. I told him what I needed and he just made it happen!

The 4 link did need some modification actually. I see if I can dig up those pics and post them and elaborate. Nothing major.
