Chevy II, Nova 400 and later Nova chassis decoding
Chevrolet Chevy II & Nova VIN Decoder and Registry
Nova coverage now begins with the 1962 Chevy II instead of skipping the first six model years. PetrolJunky follows the compact through the Chevy II 100/300/Nova 400 period, Nova Super Sport VIN-defined series where applicable, and later Nova formats through 1979.

Decoder reference
What this decoder page is designed to answer.
1962–1964 Chevy II VINs start with the model year
The early compact uses a year digit followed by two-digit series and body style. Those series separate Chevy II 100, 300 and Nova 400 families and can identify the 1964 Nova Super Sport body-series combination when the VIN itself supports it.
1965–1971 moves into the Chevrolet division layout
Chevy II and Nova then use the division-leading 1 format shared by other Chevrolet passenger cars. Series codes preserve four-, six- or eight-cylinder family information, while body codes distinguish two-door and four-door configurations. Later SS packages are not assumed from a normal Nova VIN.
1972–1979 uses letter-series VINs
The X and Y series carry Nova and Nova Custom/Concours families in the later format, with a dedicated engine character, model-year digit, plant and six-digit production sequence. That gives PetrolJunky a continuous reviewed Nova lineage rather than a late-model-only decoder.
