Stevesnovasite had a pretty good discussion about this car when it appeared on Ebay in April with a BIN of $45,900!!! One of the members talked to the seller who had absolutely nothing in the way of proof to backup the COPO claim. The car was built in Oakland third week of March/63. The cowl tag shows the SS option, radio, driver door mirror and powerglide. The general consensus is that this is a real nice 63 Nova SS that, like many of these cars, had the six swapped out for a 283 V/8. There are frequent listings of 63 Chevy IIs purported to have the dealer installed V/8 and 4 speed conversion, however they all seem to be short on proof. These installs were more than half the price of the car, so there weren't many takers. Those that did must have been a little more than upset when the 283 introduced for the 64 Chevy II was only a $108 option plus $188 for a 4 speed.
