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.
