                            TO BE HELD MARCH 4, 2005

         This proxy material and the enclosed form of proxy are being sent to
the shareholders of Nobility Homes, Inc. on or about February 4, 2005, in
connection with the solicitation by Nobility's board of directors of proxies to
be used at the annual meeting of the shareholders of Nobility. The meeting will
be held at the Ocala Hilton, 3600 S.W. 36th Avenue, Ocala, Florida, at 10:00
A.M., local time, on Friday, March 4, 2005.

         If the enclosed form of proxy is executed and returned, you may revoke
it at any time if it has not yet been exercised, by delivering a later dated
proxy or written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the meeting or by
attending the annual meeting and electing to vote in person. The shares
represented by the proxy will be voted unless the proxy is received in such form
as to render it not votable. The proxy is in ballot form so that you may
specifically grant or withhold authority to vote for the election of each
director. Unless you direct otherwise, the shares represented by the proxy will
be voted "for" the election of each director nominated by the board of
directors. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shares
entitled to vote at the meeting.

         Shareholders of record at the close of business on January 28, 2005,
will be entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on
any matter to come before the meeting. As of January 28, 2005, Nobility had
4,039,132 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

         The complete mailing address of Nobility's principal executive office

             SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, a Form 4 reporting
the acquisition or disposition of Company securities by an officer, director or
10% shareholder must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission no
later than the second business day after the date on which the transaction
occurred unless certain exceptions apply. Most transactions not reported on Form
4 must be reported on Form 5 within 45 days after the end of Nobility's fiscal
year. Based on information provided by Nobility's directors and executive
officers, during the fiscal year ended November 6, 2004, all required reports
were filed when due except as follows:

         On each of March 17, 2004, June 11, 2004 and September 15, 2004, 100
shares of restricted stock were granted to both Jean Etheredge and John Cramer.
Through inadvertence, the restricted stock grants were not reported on Form 4
within two business days. The original grants were reported in Form 4 filings on
January 31, 2005.


                                       4


                        BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

         The board of directors of Nobility is comprised of a majority of
independent directors. The board of directors has determined that Messrs.
Richard Barberie, Robert Holliday and Robert Saltsman are all independent
according to current Nasdaq rules. During the fiscal year ended November 6,
2004, the board of directors of Nobility held four regular meetings and one
special meeting. All directors of Nobility attended 100% of the meetings of the
board of directors and committees of the board on which they served. During the
year ended November 6, 2004, directors who were not employees of Nobility were
paid quarterly fees of $1,500.

         We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to the principal
executive officer, principal financial officer, executive vice presidents and
controller. The code has been designed in accordance with provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to promote honest and ethical conduct. Our code of
ethics is available on our website at www.nobilityhomes.com.

         Nobility presently has three standing committees of its board of
directors, an audit committee, a salary review committee and a nominating
committee.

         Salary Review Committee. The salary review committee is presently
comprised of Messrs. Richard Barberie, Robert Holliday and Robert Saltsman. The
salary review committee meets each quarter and recommends to the board of
directors the salaries and bonuses, if any, to be paid to the officers of
Nobility. The salary review committee met four times during fiscal year 2004.

         Audit Committee. Nobility's audit committee has been established in
accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act. During
fiscal 2004, Nobility's audit committee was comprised of Messrs. Robert
Saltsman, Robert Holliday and Richard Barberie, all of whom are considered
independent under current Nasdaq rules. The audit committee has a written
charter which establishes the scope of the committee's responsibilities and how
it is to carry out those responsibilities. A copy of the audit committee's
charter is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement. The audit committee
charter charges the committee with overseeing management's conduct of Nobility's
financial reporting process, including (1) the integrity of the financial
statements of Nobility, (2) the compliance by Nobility with legal and regulatory
requirements, and (3) the independence and performance of Nobility's internal
and external auditors. The audit committee met four times during fiscal 2004.

         Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Robert Saltsman is the
audit committee financial expert, and is independent as defined by Rule
4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

         Nominating Committee. The board of directors has established a
nominating committee comprised of Messrs. Robert Saltsman, Robert Holliday and
Richard Barberie, all of whom are considered independent under current Nasdaq
rules. The nominating committee's charter is available on our website at
www.nobilityhomes.com. Our bylaws include provisions that address the process by
which shareholders may nominate an individual to stand for election to the board


                                       5


at our annual meeting of shareholders. For additional information, see
"Shareholder Proposals and Communication with the Board of Directors" elsewhere
in this proxy statement.

         In evaluating director nominees, including candidates submitted by
shareholders, the nominating committee will consider the candidate's experience,
integrity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, understanding of
our business environment and willingness to devote adequate time to board
duties. The nominating committee will also consider whether a candidate meets
the definition of "independent director" under Nasdaq rules. There are no stated
minimum criteria for director nominees, and the nominating committee may also
consider such other factors as it deems to be in the best interest of Nobility
and its shareholders.

             COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         Nobility's salary review committee (the "salary review committee")
consists of Messrs. Richard Barberie, Robert Holliday and Robert Saltsman.
Nobility's executive compensation policy seeks to fairly compensate executives
for their performance and contributions to Nobility and to provide incentives
that will attract and retain key employees. Compensation of executive officers
for fiscal 2004 performance generally consisted of a base salary and profit
bonuses tied to the performance of Nobility.

         Base salaries and profit bonuses historically have been reviewed and
adjusted from time to time based primarily on a non-quantitative assessment of
factors such as an individual's performance, contributions, changes in job
responsibilities and Nobility's performance and economic conditions. The salary


                                       7


review committee reviewed and approved the base salary and the profit bonuses
provided to executive officers in fiscal 2004. In doing so the salary review
committee considered (i) Nobility's financial results for fiscal 2004 and the
continued improvement in the financial condition of Nobility and (ii) certain
non-quantitative factors, with emphasis on the qualitative performance of
Nobility's executives. It is an objective of the salary review committee to
maintain base salaries that are reflective of the individual executive's
experience and responsibilities level, and that are competitive with the salary
levels of executives at other companies engaged in the same or similar line of
business with revenues in a range comparable to those of Nobility.

         The base salary of the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
has remained unchanged at his request. His bonuses are tied directly to the net
profit before income taxes of the overall Company and are approved on a
quarterly basis by the salary review committee. It is the committee's belief
that the CEO is undercompensated compared to the compensation paid to chief
executive officers by other companies in the industry of similar size and
performance. However, it is the CEO's desire to maintain his compensation in its
present range, with a major incentive for his performance taking the form of
increases in the value of his substantial stock ownership in Nobility.

         Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted in 1993, precludes
a public corporation from deducting compensation of more than $1 million each
for its chief executive officer or for any of its four other highest paid
officers. Certain performance-based compensation is exempt from this limitation.
Because non-exempt options and other forms of compensation to Nobility's
officers are not expected to be anywhere near $1 million, the salary review
committee does not presently have a policy regarding whether it would authorize
compensation that would not be deductible for Nobility for federal income tax
purposes by reason of Section 162(m).

                             AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

         The purpose of the audit committee is to assist the board of directors
in its oversight of management's conduct of Nobility's financial reporting
process. During the fiscal year ended November 6, 2004 the audit committee was
comprised of Messrs. Robert Saltsman, Robert Holliday and Richard Barberie, each
of whom is "independent" under current Nasdaq rules. For the fiscal year ended
November 6, 2004 the audit committee:

         *      Reviewed and discussed Nobility's fiscal 2004 financial 
                statements with management and representatives of Tedder, James,
                Worden & Associates, P.A., Nobility's independent public 
                accountants;

         *      Discussed with Tedder, James, Worden & Associates, P.A. the 
                matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing 
                Standards Nos. 61, 89 and 90;

         *      Received the written disclosures and the letter from Tedder, 
                James, Worden & Associates, P.A. required by Independence 
                Standards Board Standard No. 1, and discussed with Tedder, 
                James, Worden & Associates, P.A. its independence; and

         *      Based on the foregoing review, discussions and disclosures,
                recommended to the board of directors that Nobility's audited
                financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 6,
                2004 be included in Nobility's annual report on Form 10-K for
                the fiscal year.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         Nobility is the owner and beneficiary of three life insurance policies
on the life of Terry E. Trexler, having an aggregate death benefit of
approximately $2 million. In September 2001 Nobility entered into an agreement
with Mr. Trexler the proceeds of these life insurance policies will be used to
purchase shares of Company common stock from his estate. The number of shares to
be purchased will be determined by dividing the amount of the insurance proceeds
by the average closing price of Nobility's common stock for the five days prior
to Mr. Trexler's death.

         During prior years Nobility paid premiums in the aggregate amount of
approximately $597,000 on two split dollar life insurance policies insuring Mr.
Trexler and naming his family as beneficiaries. The net cash surrender value of
these policies was pledged to Nobility as collateral for these advances.
Subsequent to November 1, 2003, all premiums previously paid by Nobility were
repaid.

         Terry E. Trexler and Thomas W. Trexler each own 50% of the stock of
TLT, Inc., which develops, owns and manages manufactured home communities in
Florida that cater to the retirement market. During fiscal 2004, the Company had
sales to TLT manufactured home communities of $83,260. Management of Nobility
anticipates that TLT and related manufactured homes communities will continue to
purchase homes from Nobility during fiscal 2005 and beyond until TLT's
manufactured home communities are built out.


                         INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

         On July 15, 2003, we dismissed our auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
("PWC") and appointed Tedder, James, Worden & Associates, P.A. ("Tedder, James")
as our new independent auditors, effective July 15, 2003. This change was
approved by the audit committee.

         During the two fiscal years ended November 2, 2002, and November 3,
2001, and the subsequent interim period through July 15, 2003, there were no
disagreements between us and PWC on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to PWC's satisfaction, would have caused PWC to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
reports on our financial statements for such years.

         None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K occurred within the two fiscal years of Nobility ended November
2, 2002 and November 3, 2001 or within the subsequent interim period through
July 15, 2003.

         The audit reports of PWC on our financial statements as of November 2,
2002 and for the fiscal years ended November 2, 2002 and November 3, 2001 did
not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.


                                       11


         During the two fiscal years of Nobility ended November 2, 2002 and
November 3, 2001 or within the subsequent interim period through July 15, 2003,
Nobility did not consult with Tedder, James on (i) the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type
of audit opinion that may be rendered on Nobility's financial statements, and
neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to Nobility that Tedder,
James concluded was an important factor considered by Nobility in reaching a
decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues; or (ii)
the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation
S-K and the related instructions, or reportable event.

         A letter from PWC is attached as an exhibit to our current report on
Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 2003.

         The board of directors has selected Tedder, James, Worden & Associates,
P.A. to serve as our independent certified public accountants for the current
fiscal year ending November 5, 2005. That firm has served as our auditors
beginning on June 15, 2003 for the fiscal years ended November 1, 2003 and
November 6, 2004. A representative of Tedder, James, Worden & Associates, P.A.
is expected to be present at the annual meeting of shareholders and will be
accorded the opportunity to make a statement, if he so desires, and to respond
to appropriate questions from shareholders.

         The following table provides information relating to the fees PWC and
Tedder James billed or will bill to Nobility for the fiscal years ended November
6, 2004 and November 1, 2003.

(1) Audit fees include all fees for services in connection with the annual audit
for Nobility.

(2) Audit-related fees include all fees for services in connection with the
review of quarterly financial statements of Nobility.

(3) Tax fees are for preparation of federal and state income tax returns. The
audit committee discussed these services with Tedder, James and determined that
their provision would not impair Tedder, James' independence.


                                       12


         All decisions regarding selection of independent accounting firms and
approval of accounting services and fees are made by our audit committee in
accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There are no
exceptions to the policy of securing pre-approval of our audit committee for any
service provided by our independent accounting firm.

                            SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND
                    COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         Any shareholder desiring to present a proposal to be included in
Nobility's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 for the next annual meeting of
the shareholders scheduled to be held in early March 2006, should submit a
written copy of such proposal to the principal offices of Nobility no later than
October 7, 2005. Notice to Nobility of a shareholder proposal submitted
otherwise than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 will be considered untimely if received by
Nobility after December 6, 2005, and the persons named in proxies solicited by
Nobility's board for its annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2006 may
exercise discretionary voting power with respect to any such proposal as to
which Nobility does not receive timely notice. Proposals should be submitted by
certified mail, return receipt requested.

         Shareholders who wish to communicate with the board of directors or
with a particular director may send a letter to the Secretary of Nobility at
P.O. Box 1659, Ocala, Florida 34478. The mailing envelope should contain a clear
notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a "Shareholder-Board
Communication" or "Shareholder-Director Communication." All such letters should
identify the author as a shareholder and clearly state whether the intended
recipients are all members of the board or just certain specified individual
directors. The Secretary will make copies of all such letters and circulate them
to the appropriate director or directors.

         Nobility does not have a formal policy requiring directors to attend
annual meetings. However, because the annual meeting generally is held on the
same day as a regular board meeting, Nobility anticipates that directors would
attend the annual meeting unless, for some reason, they are unable to attend the
board meeting on the same date. All directors attended the 2004 annual meeting.


                                  ANNUAL REPORT

         A copy of Nobility's annual report for the fiscal year ended November
6, 2004, accompanies this proxy statement. Any shareholder who would like an
additional copy of the annual report may obtain one by writing the Treasurer of
Nobility at Post Office Box 1659, Ocala, Florida 34478.


                                       13


                                  OTHER MATTERS

         Management does not know of any other matters to come before the
meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the meeting, it is
the intention of the persons designated as proxies to vote in accordance with
their best judgment on such matters.


                            EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION

         The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by Nobility. Nobility does
not expect to pay any compensation for the solicitation of proxies but may
reimburse brokers and other persons holding stock in their names, or in the
names of nominees, for their expenses of sending proxy material to principals
and obtaining their proxies.

         Please specify your choices, date, sign and return the enclosed proxy
in the enclosed envelope, postage for which has been provided. Prompt response
is helpful. Your cooperation will be appreciated.

                                   APPENDIX A
                             AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

                              NOBILITY HOMES, INC.

                                     Purpose

                                     -------

         The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors with the
primary purpose of assisting the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to
oversee management's conduct of the Company's financial reporting process,
including (1) the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, (2) the
compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements, and (3) the
independence and performance of the Company's internal and external auditors.

         In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to
investigate any matter brought to its attention with full access to all books,
records, facilities and personnel of the Company and the power to retain outside
counsel, auditors or other experts for this purpose. The Board and the Committee
are in place to represent the Company's shareholders; accordingly, the outside
auditor is ultimately accountable to the Board and the Committee. The Audit
Committee may request any officer or employee of the Company or the Company's
outside counsel or independent auditor to attend a meeting of the Committee or
to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee.

                                   Membership

                                   ----------

         The Committee shall be comprised of not less than three member of the
Board, and the Committee's composition will meet the requirement of the Audit
Committee Policy of the NASD.

         According, all of the members will be directors:

         1. Who have no relationship to the Company that may interfere with the
exercise of their independence from management and the Company; and

         2. Who are financially literate or who become financially literate
within a reasonable period of time after appointment to the Committee. In
addition, at least one member of the Committee shall have accounting or related
financial management expertise.


                                       15


                              Key Responsibilities
                              --------------------

         The Committee's job is one of oversight and it recognizes that the
Company's management is responsible for preparing the Company's financial
statements and that the outside auditors are responsible for auditing those
financial statements. Additionally, the Committee recognizes that financial
management, as well as the outside auditors, have more time, knowledge and more
detailed information on the Company than do Committee members; consequently, in
carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Committee is not providing any
expert or special assurance as to the Company's financial statements or any
professional certification as to the outside auditor's work.

         The following functions shall be the common recurring activities of the
Committee in carrying out its oversight function. These functions are set forth
as a guide with the understanding that the Committee may diverge from this guide
as appropriate given the circumstances.

         The Audit Committee shall:

         1. Review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually and
recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.

         2. Review the annual audited financial statements with management,
including major issues regarding accounting and auditing principles as well as
the adequacy of internal controls that could significantly affect the Company's
financial statements.

         3. Review an analysis prepared by management and the independent
auditor of significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in
connection with the preparation of the Company's financial statements.

         4. Review with management and the independent auditor the Company's
quarterly financial statements prior to the release of quarterly earnings.

         5. Meet periodically with management to review the Company's major
financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and
control such exposures.

         6. Review major changes to the Company's auditing and accounting
principles and practices as suggested by the independent auditor, internal
