1965 Chevy Ii Nova 2 Door Sedan.12,000 Orig Miles, 99% Orig.rust Free, Runs Good on 2040-cars

Year:1965 Mileage:12625
Location:

Sunnyvale, California, United States

Sunnyvale, California, United States

12,625 original miles and almost all original (not restored, original). Here is the condition described as best as I can:

 

A rust free, unrestored, completely stock, nice driving vehicle. It is literally, as-purchased in 1965 with the 194 ci. 6 cylinder engine, powerglide automatic, heater, radio delete and seat belts. Engine and transmission run superbly and all systems, except for the heater, work properly including the dome light, all gauges, indicator lights, turn signals, headlights, taillights, parking lights, etc. The heater fan and controls work fine but the heater core leaked and the core was bypassed and never replaced.

It has all 5 original 13”- 5 bolt rims, tires, and dog dish hubcaps. I just put new tires are on it, and I have the originals. 4 of the 5 originals held air but have cracks and are too old to use. Hubcaps have some cracks and dents, but are restorable.

I am not a Nova expert, but believe all body, interior, engine, trans, radiator, suspension, brakes, shocks, engine compartment, exhaust system, bushings, bearings, etc are original except for oil filter, oil, cap, rotor, ignition wires, water pump, carb, battery hold down and battery.

I did a tune-up, oil change, and water pump when I got it; the battery hold down was missing; the carb just recently started leaking and I installed a new one in the last few days. I have the original carb.

All interior is original. Front and rear seats are excellent with some slight age related discoloring, Rear seat doesn’t look like it was ever sat in. Original rubber floor mats still have original sound deadening. Mat is torn on the passenger side from being pulled up with the heater core issue. Passenger door armrest plastic mount was broken by me. I have the replacement with the original pad. Brake and gas pedal pads are original with almost no wear. Headliner is undamaged and looks great.

Door and trunk weather stripping is complete and original, but is cracking from age. dorrs and trunk close tight.

The body/frame/suspension are rust free other than surface coloration from bare spots, scratches and two exceptions. 1)The heater core leaked and no one paid attention, so there is an easily fixed pin hole in the passenger side floorboard; 2)The bottom of the battery tray has some corrosion.

The paint is original and has the usual age related patina with all sorts of minor chips, dings and scratches. The body seems unhit and straight except for a fixable dent in the driver door and a scrape/dent on the driver’s side lower panel. (See photos). The front bumper has a slight tweak at the bumper bracket. Bumpers are bright and shiny with very light pitting. All of the other trim is as good if not better.

 

The car was last registered in 1983 and stored in a garage/barn in North Carolina (barn find?) until I purchased it from the nephew of the original buyer. (See photo) It was protected, and out of weather, but used as a shelf and people walked next to it and opened doors into it.

It was bought new in 1965 by an older school teacher who used it very little through 1979 when she retired and used it even less. She passed away in 1983 and left the car to her 13 year old nephew when it was put away for him. He titled it in 1988 in his name but had no interest in it and left it stored until I purchased it from him. It was shipped to me in good running condition and on the original tires. It has 12,625 miles on the odometer at this writing and is currently registered with a good  California pink slip/title. I have pictures of when I purchased the car.

I have the original protect-o-plate and maintenance book, and what I believe is the original 2 sets of keys, a copy of the title from when it was transferred to him in 1988, as well as 2 North Carolina state inspection records from 1982 with 10,682 miles, and 1983 with 10,711 miles.

 

Every effort has been made to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible. Please contact me for any more information or photos. There are no warranties expressed or implied and I encourage you to inspect it yourself or have it inspected by a knowledgeable car person. Everything except the undercarriage has been cleaned, but not detailed. It is the real McCoy.

A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours. Balance of payment must be cleared within 7 days or contact me to make other arrangements. I will not release vehicle until all funds are cleared by my bank. I can store the vehicle for up to 30 days at no extra charge as long as it is paid for in full within 7 days. Pickup/delivery/shipping is your responsibility. I will help with coordinating it conveniently with you and assist with any type of shipping including personal delivery for a fair price. I am happy to discuss any details with you by e-mail or phone. Interested parties can send me an e-mail with your phone number and best time to call or I will send you my number. 

Available separately! I had thoughts of making this into a mini-muscle clone, so I collected some parts to make it into a 327, 4 speed, sleeper, grandma’s car. I have a nice factory stock clutch and brake pedal assembly, a full factory original SS gauge package, factory stock 283/327 engine mounts, an original bench seat Muncie shifter assembly and factory original crossed flag and 327 fender emblems. They are available for an additional price, either with the car or separately after it’s sold.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.

Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe

Fri, Aug 14 2015

A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:

Chevy Volt owners log half a billion electric miles, 2015 production starts

Thu, Jun 19 2014

As General Motors gets ready to start 2015 Volt production Monday, Chevrolet is looking back at some of the numbers that got the car to where it is today. The headline number is that Volt owners have collectively put more than a half-billion electric miles on their cars. The unsurprising upshot is that, if you went out and bought a Volt, you're pretty keen on getting as many electric miles out of it as possible. 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. The typical Volt driver goes 970 miles between fill-ups, GM says, and that means that 63 percent of all miles are done on battery power. General Motors executive director Larry Nitz gave AutoblogGreen a few more details on the usage habits of Volt drivers, including that 81 percent of commuting miles are electric. Two-thirds of US Volt drivers charge their vehicle 1.4 times a day, a clear indicator of drivers trying to maximize electric miles through opportunity charging. In fact, Nitz said, 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. GM also says that the Volt's official 35 miles of electric range is still doable for many owners who have had their car for more than 30 months. Looking ahead, we know that one upgrade for the 2015 Volt will be 4G LTE connectivity that can turn the car, like others in the GM family, into a mobile wifi hotspot. We're of course much more interested in when GM is finally going to start production of the next-gen Volt, but GM officials would only tell us that they're very excited about the still-secret vehicle, promising we'll be learning more "soon." Nitz did confirm that today's Volt drivers are most interested in three things from the next-gen model: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. He did not say whether or not GM will be able to deliver on those requests. Chevrolet Volt Owners Surpass Half a Billion Electric Miles After 30 months of use, a sampling of Volts shows consistent all-electric range 2014-06-19 DETROIT – Since its launch in late 2010, Chevrolet Volt owners have accumulated more than half a billion all-electric miles. Additionally, based on a General Motors' study of more than 300 Volts in service in California for more than 30 months, many owners are exceeding the EPA-rated label of 35 miles of EV range per full charge, with about 15 percent surpassing 40 miles of range.
