1st time I have ever heard a 4-door sedan referred to as a "Quad Cab" Looks to be solid and original with an updated SBC drivetrain. But we have no Idea what the Passenger side, front or rear ends look like. They are asking $8000.00 https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/d/leechburg-1964-nova-quadcab/7112960820.html
Fender emblem indicates this originally had a six in it. No way to tell whether it was the 194 or the 230. Kinda wish it still had the six...…. If you're looking for an old Chevy II, and it has the 230 in it, that's a big plus in my book. Was a substantial improvement over the 194 in around-town performance, without sacrificing much in the way of mpg. Dad had a 194 in the '63 Nova he bought new, but when it got stolen, there was a 230 in the rental Nova he had. Said he liked the increased power a lot.
Assuming the rest of it is as good as the left side I’d say that’s a fair price. This is another car where I think 4 doors looks as good if not better than 2. Quad cab I mean
I don't think there was a V8 option in that year for a Nova or Chevy II, I4 or I6's only. Even the SS's were the big I6.
Well, I don't know where they happened to find a 3-speed automatic which wasn't put into production until 2 years later https://www.chevyhardcore.com/news/nova-engine-options-1964/ I wonder as to how much thriftier the fours were, compared to the sixes, if at all. Unless they were hooked up to 4- or 5-speed gearboxes, they'd have to work harder. Which doesen't do much for economy
Actually, 1964 WAS the first year a V8 was available in the Chevy II. Two versions of the 283 were available, 195 hp (2 barrel) and 220 hp (4 barrel). Came with a 3-speed manual, or optional 4-speed manual, or Powerglide. My dad had the 283 in the 1965 Nova wagon we had. I never drove it myself. Got the impression is was just the 2-barrel version. In '65 though, you could also get a 327 in the Chevy II - a 250 hp version and a 300 hp version, which wasn't available in wagons, according to the brochure.
