This website lists some of the codes, but unfortunately, your codes have no descriptions, no one knows, or someone knows and they are not sharing the data! www.348-409.com/acc1.html posted:  January 14, 2009   mdduster      Interesting site, I didnt know that even existed. The problem with the early Chevrolet ACC. codes is that you can easily clone a car if you know the right codes and their is not anyone that can dispute it, unless an original broadcast sheet is found. I was told that the codes were used for later assembly line production of options which impacted the body or an option which would require body modifications or alterations outside the norm, for instance a 4 speed transmission or mirrors. I suppose you could start a process of elimination and look for options the car has, which would require body mods.... posted:  January 14, 2009   lange97sbcglobalne      I just purchased the car, It has V8 motor mounts and and clutch pedal. I can't find anything that shows the 62 as having a V8 option posted:  January 14, 2009   hevychevy      Whenever I am looking for Nova info I always check novaresource.com They have a list of RPO codes www.novaresource.org/rpo1.htm and even cowl tag info www.novaresource.org/cowltags.htm posted:  January 14, 2009   lange97sbcglobalne      That's a great site, I was able to find info on my VIN there but not the ACC codes. posted:  January 14, 2009   dipstick      Somebody must have modified this vehicle and equipped it with a V8 because I'm pretty sure that all 62's only came with a 6 cylinder engine. posted:  January 14, 2009   chevystar      Selected as Best Answer Contrary to Mr. Dipstick, there were V8's in the 1962 Nova. You could order a 283 or 327 cu in. engine as a Dealer option. There is a book you might be interested in ordering www.msa-1.com/custom/index.cfm?ID=34890 Chevy Cowl Tags - 1950 to1975 "This book contains information about the build date, model, year, plant, colors in and out, and OPTIONS. This book covers Cowl Tags, Protect-O-Plates, VIN plates, Date Codes and FISHER BODY CODES that give the cars original OPTIONS. All Chevy car Models are covered." posted:  January 14, 2009
