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: NEDC's NOx problems, autonomous Chevy Volts
Mon, Dec 7 2015The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found a significant difference in NOx emissions in Euro 6 diesel cars in NEDC and WLTC testing. While 88 percent of the cars tested met emissions standards for NEDC, NOx emissions averaged five times higher under WLTC, with only 27 percent of vehicles under the limit. WLTC is considered to be a more realistic driving cycle, using hot starts and factoring a higher top speed as well as harder and more frequent accelerations than the NEDC. Read more at Green Car Congress.GM Canada will build a fleet of autonomous 2017 Chevrolet Volts. The self-driving Volts will be deployed for testing at GM's Warren, Michigan Technical Center. Employees will be able to use a carsharing app to reserve a car, which will then drive itself to the set destination. The project will allow GM to collect important data and experience to help the company more quickly develop autonomous driving technology. Read in a press release more from GM Canada, or at Green Car Congress.Carwatt is showing an electric Renault Trafic powered by second-life batteries at the COP21 environmental summit in Paris. The lithium-ion batteries used to power the EV were recycled from other Renault EVs. With the electric Trafic, Carwatt – a company that converts vehicles to use electric power – aims to demonstrate the "circular economy" of batteries, which can provide more value through a longer lifecycle. Read more in the press release below. Carwatt presents a unique automotive application for second-life batteries from electric vehicles. On the sidelines of the COP21 summit, in the Solutions Gallery running from 2 to 9 December 2015 in Le Bourget near Paris, Carwatt and its partners —Renault, Paris City Council, BPI France, the Ales Ecole des Mines Engineering School, and the Bobigny Business Campus — are showing a very special electric Renault Trafic. This prototype vehicle, the only one of kind in the world, is powered by second-life lithium-ion batteries recycled from Renault electric cars. Circular economy at work with electric vehicles When, over time, the batteries of a Renault electric vehicle fall the performance threshold specified for their initial automotive power duty (around 75% of initial capacity), they can still provide valuable service in "second-life" applications before end-of-life disposal at a recycling centre. Experiments are already under way on power storage applications, for example.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online
Wed, Jun 25 2014Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.
