How Do I Find Chevy Nova Cars to Restore?
The Chevy Nova, manufactured starting in 1962, is no longer manufactured but can be purchased second-hand. Chevy ended production on the first run of the Nova in 1979, but the vehicle had a second run from 1985 to 1988. Because of their age, many Chevy Novas are in subpar condition and will require a large amount of restoration. Luckily, there are many websites devoted to the Chevy Nova, including those that give restoration tips and those that sell the vehicle.

Visit your local used-car dealership. Ask a manager or salesperson if the dealership has any selection of Chevy Novas. If the dealership is a chain, the manager may be able to check the inventory of multiple dealerships. Typically, cars at a dealership will be in good condition and will need only minor restoration.

Search the classified ads in the newspaper under the "Cars" or "For Sale" section. Call anyone listing a Chevy Nova for sale. As of December 2010, a used Chevy Nova should cost $1000 to $3000, depending on the condition.
