1965 Chevelle Malibu Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1965 Mileage:45222

San Marcos, Texas, United States

Welcome!  You are bidding on a beautiful 1965 Chevelle Malibu Convertible.  This car has been garage kept for the past 10 years and is in great shape.  I have driven it across the state of Texas several times, but now it is only driven on Saturdays and Sundays as a cruiser. This is one fantastic ride!!!! And, YES, THIS CAR HAS 45,222 miles on the odometer.  I bought the car in 2003 in Houston, TX.  The then owner told me that he kept the car in the garage and rarely drove it (he had owned the car for 6 years).  He also told me that the gentleman that he bought the car from had owned it for 20 years, and kept it in the garage permanently, only taking it out for service!

In Line 6 cylinder 230 engine - This is only the second engine to go into this car.  It was rebuilt and put in the car 8 years ago, and only has about 2k miles on it. 

Interior is all original with exception to the carpet and glove box (SEATS ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION!).  Carpet is in good shape.  Glove box is original, but the guts were taken out to make room for a cd player that I custom installed when I bought the car.  The glove box lock is not currently working and will need to be replaced. 

Cream Vinyl soft top convertible - This is only the second top put on the car and was on it when I purchased the car in 2003.  The top is electric powered by a switch on the driver's side.  Currently, the hydraulic pump is not working well and likely needs to be replaced.  The top still comes down and goes up, but needs a little manual assistance.  Just a couple of small cuts on the top (cuts do NOT leak, they are not all the way through the top).  The top cover also comes with the car. 

16 inch Craiger rims, but comes with the ORIGINAL hubs (as seen in pictures) that are in fantastic shape! Spare tire included as well. 

This Car does not have power steering. 

The only problem with this car is the small amount of rust in the rear wheel wells.  These panels will eventually need to be replaced. 

The car has a beautiful paint job and looks great as you can see in the pics, but there are slight chips in the paint here and there.

Weatherproofing throughout needs to be replaced.  Most of it has dried up and is pretty fragile.

Chrome decals and kit are on just fine, but will eventually need to be replaced as well.  See Pics.

There is a small hole in the trunk that you can see in the photo.

Interior door panels are worn/torn at the bottom, see pics.

Small crack in the windshield on passenger side (see pic).  This is not expanding at all and does not obstruct view.





HAPPY BIDDING!!!

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.
