1962 Chevrolet Nova AFX Gasser

Experience a piece of drag racing history with this remarkable 1962 Chevrolet Nova, affectionately nicknamed “Novacaine,” an A/Factory Experimental (A/FX) gasser from the iconic muscle car era. This Nova preserves the classic styling cues of the 400 series model while showcasing a high stance that speaks to its racing pedigree. The metallic flake red paint finish and eye-catching gold leaf style lettering make the exterior a true show-stopper, with chrome accents and a raised front end hinting at its high-performance capabilities.

Step inside to find the original charm intact with pristine black embossed door panels, a black padded factory dashboard, and a metal flake red rimmed steering wheel. The classic vinyl upholstered seating in black with 60’s tuck and roll design adds a nostalgic touch. Equipped with a custom 3-point roll bar and a Hurst shifter, this vehicle maintains a fine balance between heritage and functionality.

Under the hood lies the heart of this beast: a powerful, fresh Merlin block 496ci V8 engine. Enhanced with polished and ported aluminum L88 heads and FAST fuel injection, this car is engineered for performance. With a robust 4-speed manual transmission and a Moser big bearing Ford 9″ rear axle featuring 4.11 gears and Positraction, it promises a thrilling driving experience.

The undercarriage features a solid front axle with semi-elliptic springs and ladder bars with leaf springs at the rear, achieving a wild high stance. Equipped with all-around drum brakes and snake-like header exhausts, this Nova is built to deliver in both aesthetics and performance.

Although never raced and only showcased at events, this gasser retains a clean title and runs efficiently on premium pump gas. It combines groundbreaking engine modifications with a nearly stock-appearing interior, making it a quality contender as a vintage performance vehicle.
