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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter
Thu, Nov 6 2014We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
