The Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova is a small automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, and produced in five generations for the 1962 through 1979, and 1985 through 1988 model years. Nova was the top model in the Chevy II lineup through 1968. The Chevy II nameplate was dropped after 1968, with Nova becoming the nameplate for all of the 1969 through 1979 models. Built on the X-body platform, the Nova was replaced by the 1980 Chevrolet Citation introduced in the spring of 1979. The Nova nameplate returned in 1985, produced through 1988 as a S-car based, NUMMI manufactured, subcompact based on the front wheel drive, Japan home-based Toyota Sprinter.
After the rear-engine Chevrolet Corvair was outsold by the conventional Ford Falcon in 1960, Chevrolet completed work on a more conventional compact car that would eventually become the Chevy II. The car was of semi-unibody construction having a bolt on front section joined to its unitized cabin and trunk rear section, available in two- and four-door sedan configurations as well as convertible and 4-door station wagon versions. The 1962 Chevy II came in three series and five body styles-the 100 Series, 300 Series and Nova 400 Series. A 200 series was also introduced, but was discontinued almost immediately.[2] The sportiest-looking of the lot was the US$2,475 ($21,175 in 2020 dollars [3]) Nova 400 convertible-23,741 were produced that year.
Available engines for the Chevy II in 1962 and 1963 included Chevrolet's inline-four engine of 153 cu in (2.5 l) and a new 194 cu in (3.2 l) Hi-Thrift straight-six engine. All Chevy II engines featured overhead valves. A V8 engine was not available in 1962 and 1963. With no documentation proving it, the legend of a dealer installed V8 engine being in a 1962 or 1963 model year Chevy II is a myth. Refer to the GM Heritage Center 1963 Chevrolet Nova information available on the GM Heritage site.[5] In addition, that documentation does not list a V8 engine as a possible dealer installed option.
In 1962 and 1963 the Nova option for the Chevy II was available in a convertible body style, and a two-door hardtop was available from 1962 to 1965, although the hardtop was dropped when the 1964 models were first introduced, but subsequently brought back to the line later in the model year. Like all Chevy two-door hardtops, the body style was marketed as the Sport Coupe.
For 1963, the Chevy II Nova Super Sport was released, under RPO Z03.[6] It featured special emblems, instrument package, wheel covers, side moldings, bucket seats, and floor shifter, and was available only on the 400 series sport coupe and convertible.[6] Cost of the package was US$161.40, equal to $1,364.36 today.[7] As mentioned above, the Nova option could not officially have V8 engines at this time-the standard SS engine was the six-cylinder (this was also applicable to the Impala (and later the early Chevelle c. 1964-65) when the SS was a sport and appearance package)-but small-block V8 engine swaps were commonplace among enthusiasts.
For 1964, sales were hit hard by the introduction of the new Chevelle,[8] and the Chevy II received its first factory V8 option, a 195 hp (145 kW) 283 cu in (4.6 l), as well as a 230 cu in (3.8 l) straight six.[9] The six-cylinder was all-new, replacing the older Stovebolt engine.
The Nova Super Sport came as a Sport Coupe only, and its production dipped to just 9,100 cars. Super Sports had a new brushed-chrome console with floor-mounted four-speed manual transmission or Powerglide automatic, but a column-mounted three-speed manual remained standard. Bucket seats wore textured vinyl trim, and the dashboard held ammeter, oil pressure, and temperature gauges. An expanded engine lineup gave customers six power choices of the six-cylinder or V-8 engines; the four-cylinder was available only in the 100. But, for Chevy II enthusiasts, 1965 is best remembered as the year the Chevy II became a muscle car. A 327 cu in (5.4 l) V8 was available with up to 300 hp (220 kW), suddenly putting Nova SS performance practically on a par with the GTO, 4-4-2, and 271 bhp Mustang 289s-at least in straight-line acceleration. Midyear also brought a more potent 283 with dual exhausts and 220 horsepower.

Thanks for sharing some time with your dad with us all. I miss having my dad around to share my builds with. He didn't build any models, but he did build a table for me to put my HO race track on in the garage. Spent hours on end enjoying that track and my models that he would listen to me describing all the details of each kit I assembled. ❤
1964, at 17, I left school for a Texaco Mechanic job. "Grumpy Bill" Jenkins had discovered that Chevy had left exactly enough space and proper motor mount points to fit a 409 engine into a Chevy II Nova - and so he did. The Summers of '64 and '65 were filled with the burn outs on magazine covers that made Grumpy Bill as famous as his 409 Nova. I love the build and totally appreciate you sharing your craft with us. It's been a fun four years. Thanks, here's to four more.

Cool story!
If Mobius started producing Chevy trucks, I would be broke constantly. I already have all their Ford trucks. Really enjoy building them.

I wish someone (preferably Mobius) would do a '63-'66 GMC or at least make the truck kit with optional Chevrolet grill and tailgate/GMC grill and tailgate.
Thought I was going crazy, you did the assembly twice!? Really nice build!

I was wondering that too but it's fine.
I love the tire decals from Model Roundup! The best way to do it!
The one thing that could have made this kit a little better was having speaker grills in doors and in the rear package shelf. Just my opinion though. nice build though.

That would be a cool detail. Especially the rear window shelf since most cars had them.
Great job, Chris! Thanks for showing the boo-boos, too-makes me feel better about my builds!😊
Very nice build
The traction bars are mounted in the wrong location. The rear portion should be right over the rear so the snubber (front) contacts the front spring eye. Sharp looking car and l know "build for you.
That Nova is off the hook! Great job as usual.
Very nicely done on the Nova! She came out very nice! I can relate to that Moebius tire issue as I've had that same thing with the Ford pickup kits!
Looking through your comments I forgot about it being April 1st. That explains it 😄. This build reminds me of the early 80's when I was modifying my '70 Monte Carlo. I used the same air filter, mine was an Edelbrock. It wasn't that attractive but it sure let that 350 breath good. I had a Summit catalog and 2 others I ordered from all the time. I never had those traction bars but seen them around a lot. Thanks for the memories.
Great work. Love the paint scheme. 👍
Looks good - I like the paint job - another fun build. Thanks
Gotta get one of these. Moebius Novas are popping up in numerous KZread vids.
Great review and awesome build as always.love the color combo.always look forward to your next build.peace.
Just realized it's April 1st because there was no usual recap before painting
Absolutely love the color choice.
Love it.
Love Nova's. Great video and review.
Ran across 8yr old video of you in your shop showing our kit stash. Maby we can git a 2023 updated view
These are nice kit's they have the traction bars located in the wrong place they go over the spring brackets they printed it wrong
Very nice build. Neat color choices. You did an excellent job with the assembly. The kit looks like it is well engineered. Everything looks good except for the issue with the tires. I really like the extra parts in the Moebius kits. Thanks for sharing.
I Just cant belive it.
Nice build!

Moebius-kits are very fine quality. I very like your version of this kit,sweet colours. Btw,this year of the Malibu looks a little bit of our German Opel Kadett B. The Chevy came years earlier,i know.

Is there a sequence issue or something else? As always great build.
An my uncle an aunt had a emerald green nova it was the Same year as my dads
Beautiful mate👍
Really great work Chris KUTGW
Back then thear weren't no seats belts
Real nice 👍🏿
Hey the bar at the Ramada Inn called!...Hey want their ashtray back....!
I would love.if mobius produced any year dodge truck,
He should build the AMT 1957 fairlane 500
The traction bars are too far forward. The end of the bar should be even with the front of the spring eye. Cool build.
@26:20 TOTALLY AGREE!!!!! WHY do they do it this way??
Were there no spray painting sequences this video or did I miss something???
I was up all night watching your videos. It's been a long time since I saw one. Do you prefer these models over the other brands? I like the F-250 snow plow build. I work for the city I live in and have to plow snow. I thought about buying that kit and making it like my towns plows back in the day.
I always cut the plastic nubs off the wheels when I go to mount the tires. That seems to work of for me.
Nice looking build sir! Curious what they will come out with next?
