For Sale By:Private Seller
Drive Type: rwd
Model: Chevelle
Mileage: 159,453
Trim: SS
This auction is for a 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. This was purchased new by my father on May 20, 1965. It was purchased at Bob Peck Chevrolet in Arlington Virginia.
I have the original title and paperwork to verify this. The title is still in my father's name so the purchaser will be the true 2nd owner of this Chevelle.
This car came new with a 283 4 barrel (I believe), it had the bucket seat and the floor shifted Powerglide automatic transmission. There was no A/C.
It had the following options on it when purchased:
Powerglide Transmission - $199.10
Radio - $58.65
C & C Group - $30.15 (I do not know what that is)
Undercoating - $30.00
Rear Speaker - $14.35
Power Steering - $86.10
White Wall Tires - $31.90
The car had a restoration started on it in the mid 1990's. Then time / money / life / ect, got in the way and it has been sitting in a garage for many, many years. Now it time for it to get a new owner, that will finish it and enjoy it.
This car is not drivable in its current condition, All the parts were stripped off, down to the bare frame. The frame had 1 small rust spot fixed (front driver's side), and was primed and painted black. The body was put back on the frame using energy suspension polyurethane body mounts and new bolts. The body had the driver's floor replaced, the driver's and the center floor pan brace replaced. A complete trunk floor was replaced. 2 rear 1/4 skins were replaced. (all parts from Year One). The body was put back on the frame. The rear suspension has the original 10 bolt axle, New coil springs, the factory upper control arms had polyurethane bushings inserted, the lower control arms were replaced with factory boxed arms with polyurethane bushings and a factory sway bar. Then factory cross member brackets from a big block car were added (rear crossmember reinforcements). There is no front suspension bolted in the car.
The rest of the car need to be assembled. To the best of my knowledge the following is ready for the car:
Front upper and lower control arms have polyurethane bushings in them, There is a full length fuel and brake lines that are stainless steel. New coil springs for the front, new ball joints, new idler arm. Lots of different nuts, bolt and various hardware. The original 14" wheels are included, along with 4 15" wheels from a 80's / 90's?? model Camaro along with a Power front disc conversion kit from Original Parts Group.
The original 283 motor is long gone, replaced a long time ago. The 350 crate motor was in the car, along with what I think is a 327 from a Corvette, the other motor came out of a 1962 Corvette and was running at the time but was not the original motor for that car. It might need a rebuild or might still be fine.
As you can see by the pictures there are boxes and boxes of parts. All the glass is original (I'm pretty sure) except the windshield that was replaced and the replacement was broken so there is no windshield now.
The seats had been redone once so the original covers are not on them. They will need to be redone again.
There are lots of new parts that have been installed or are waiting to be installed.
I have reciepts totaling about $3,200.00 for the parts.
A Library of 38 pictures can be found here: http://s204.photobucket.com/user/gocntry/library/65%20Chevelle?sort=4&page=1
Reserve is set Under $4750.00
Any questions feel free to ask and I will answer as best I can. I can also take more pictures if requested.
A $1000.00 deposit by PayPal will be due within 72 Hours of a winning bid on this auction. The rest of the winning bid amount shall be paid CASH in person before car is released.
Winning buyer will have 30 days from auction end to remove vehicle and all parts from the premises.
The car is moveable with a cart I have under the front end. I will help to load any parts and the vehicle, but bringing a buddy is recommended.
There is a concrete driveway to the vehicle, but there is a 7 1/2' clearance to get there. We can work around that, just a lot of pushing (on concrete).
I do have an engine crane available to lift the engines, but 1 engine is on a dolly, the other on a stand and both can go with the engines.
Thanks for Looking at my auction.
Good Luck to the winning bidder.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
