Exterior:  Madeira Maroon

Interior:  Medium Saddle Ramada Cloth & Imitation Leather interior, carpeted floors and protective floor mats

283 cu. in. V-8, 195 Hp;  2-bbl carburetor, Powerglide Automatic Transmission, 3:31 Positraction Rear End

Manual Steering, Manual Brakes

14” Wheels with the Chevelle Wheel Covers

Spare Tire in the Trunk

Frigette Air Conditioning Unit (after market)

Odometer Mileage:  < 100,500; Numbers matching car

Manufactured in Fremont (March, 3rd Week, 1965)

The Malibu was purchased from Bob Coyle Chevrolet, 117 E. Santa Clara Street, San Jose, CA and the original owner took delivery on 3/23/65.  The car is being offered for sale for the first time in its garaged life.  The car was never a hand me down, never seen a high school parking or mistreated in anyway.

The car went under a repaint in 1983.  Madeira Maroon paint surface is crazed on the hood, top and truck.   Besides being 30-years old, the crazing is due to the original paint not being removed but sanded, primed and repainted with lacquer. 

No body corrosion outside of the standard spots associated with the Chevelle Malibu, which is along the lip of the sheet metal under the truck where a rubber strip lays on top to give a finished appearance to the bumper application.  Moisture and dirt tended to gather between the metal and rubber and set up corrosion.

This car is a 100% California clean find.  The car has been parked in a garage in Santa Clara County since the year 2000.  It has been brought back to life beginning in June 2013.  

The following is the work that has been completed.

Rebuilt Carburetor

New Fuel Pump and Filter

New Fuel Tank and fuel level sending unit

New Water Pump

Cooling System Flushed and Coolant Replaced

New Heater Hoses and Upper & Lower Radiator Hoses

New Front and Rear Brake Cylinders (four wheel drum brakes)

New Master Brake Cylinder

New radial Uni-Royal Tiger Paw whitewall tires

Frigette AC Unit blows cold (evacuated & recharged with new R134a refrigerant)

There are no tears in the upholstery and the headliner is perfect.  Doors and windows open and close easily.  The driver side roll up window needs adjustment in the door to prevent minor sagging.  This car does not exhibit ever having been in an accident.  The original owners said they got bumped in the teacher’s parking lot on two occasions in the side fender panels.  These events are not detectable on the body.  The car is straight, the sheet metal is in great shape and the bumpers are perfect with out dents or even crooked.

The engine long block has never been opened.  The car received regular maintenance, starts easily and runs smoothly.  The Powerglide transmission shifts appropriately and smoothly.  It handles like a car built in the mid-60’s but it runs true and straight on the freeway with zero pull to left or right.  With the new brake cylinders the manual brakes operate smoothly and evenly when stopping.

The original 1965 Chevrolet Owner Protection Plan with the Protect-O-Plate comes with the car.  The original working AM pushbutton radio is with the car and stored carefully in the truck.

This automobile is a blank sheet of white paper to become whatever the 2nd titled owner desires the car to become.  It is a rare find.

The ’65 Malibu may be seen at the Goodguys All American Get-Together this weekend at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, CA.  Come to the “Cars for Sale Corral”.    

If the ’65 Malibu does not discover it’s new owner this weekend it will be on sale at the Goodguys 17th Colorado Nationals, June 6-8 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), The Ranch Events Complex, 5280 Arena Circle, Loveland, CO 80538.  Come to the “Cars 4 Sale Corral”.

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

Nissan Leaf sets new November sales record, Chevy Volt drops again

Tue, Dec 2 2014

When you talk to people in the plug-in vehicle industry, one theme you hear repeatedly is that the more plug-in cars that are out there, the better things are for everyone. One reason is that more EVs build a need for more public chargers, and more chargers mean more people see that plugging in is feasible. But there's still something to be said for old-fashioned competition, and in the sales race between the two long-running plug-in vehicles in the US, the Nissan Leaf is resoundingly beating the Chevy Volt for 2014. In fact, it won't be long before the EV's cumulative sales top the PHEV's. But that's a topic for another month. For now, we have the sales results from November. Unsurprisingly, Nissan set another monthly record (that is, the best Leaf sales in any November, the 22nd time in a row we've seen a monthly record) with 2,687 sales last month. That's up 34 percent over last November and up 35 percent year-to-date. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of electric vehicle marketing, said in a statement that, "Our 'Kick Gas' ad campaign and 'No Charge to Charge' launch in Chicago and Atlanta drove an increase in November Leaf sales. Even with gas prices falling across the country, consumers appreciate that the cost of driving a Nissan Leaf is still a fraction of that of a gas-powered car." Over on the Chevy side of the ledger, there were 1,336 Volt sales last month, down 30.4 percent from the 1,920 sold in November 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 16.4 percent and Chevy has sold 17,315 Volts in 2014. As we said last month, the Volt slump might be due to people waiting on the new version to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show next month before going on sale in the second half of 2015. So far in 2014, Nissan has sold 27,098 Leafs. Look for our detailed post of US green car sales in the near future. Until then, please discuss last month's Leaf and Volt sale in the comments, below.
