For Sale By:Private Seller
Drive Type: rwd
Model: Chevelle
Mileage: 159,453
Trim: SS
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.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
