You are bidding on my 1965 Chevelle 300 Deluxe 2-door post coupe.  Out of the 378,000+ Chevelles produced in 1965, just over 8,000 were the 300 Deluxe 2-door post coupe model, making it very rare today. The post coupe is favored by drag racers and hot rodders for its light weight and rigid body.  


The interior features correct OEM '65 low-back bucket seats and full rear bench.  Door panels are good, brand-new carpet, door sill plates, trunk divider, package tray, glove box liner and headliner.  While not perfect, the interior does looks very good.  The dash features a vintage Sun Super Tach II tachometer front and center for a nice clean look, while accessory oil pressure and water temperature gauges monitor the vitals.  The speedometer and engine warning lights work, as do the head lights, tail lights, and brake lights.  A new B&M Pistol-Grip Quarter Stick shifter is mounted on the floor to handle the shifting duty.  Overall, the interior looks and feels comfortable, clean, and complete just as it is.

The engine is a High Performance 1970 396 Big Block, rebuilt with under 30K miles; still tight and fresh.  The engine internals include 10.25-1 compression flat top pistons, mild performance hydraulic camshaft and lifters, high volume oil pump, and a balanced bottom end.  The heads have been surfaced, have a 3-angle valve job, dual valve springs, screw-in studs, pushrod guide plates, and poly locks.  The top end features a Holly Street Dominator aluminum high rise intake, while a high-volume electric fuel pump delivers the fuel to a new Edelbrock 750 carburetor, sparked by an HEI ignition.  The custom driveline was professionally balanced.

 New Hooker big-tube headers and full 2 1/2" dual exhaust with X-pipe handle the exhaust.  A Champion custom 4-row aluminum high-capacity radiator keeps the engine running at under 190 degrees.  Oil pressure is strong and steady.  New plugs, wires, battery, alternator, regulator, starter, belts, and hoses. Fresh engine oil and filter, as well as 50/50 antifreeze. The engine is backed up by a '70 Turbo 400 automatic and 10-bolt rear end.  The transmission was also just serviced with new fluid, filter, and pan gasket.

The engine/trans combination is in good, strong running condition with a fresh professional performance tune-up. 

The entire underside of the car has been cleaned and painted, with almost all the fasteners having been replaced as well... looks great underneath.  Front suspension has been redone with new shocks all around, new brakes, and restored '71 Chevelle Rally wheels with new trim rings and inserts mounted with good Daytona radial tires.  Manual steering is  tight and surprisingly easy to steer; manual brakes work great with solid pedal feel.

The body appears to be virtually rust-free; I can't find evidence of any outer-body rust anywhere.  The trunk has been restored to original speckled paint and looks great; no rust there either.  It was originally Turquoise Metallic, and is now in gray primer.  

The chrome is nice, the stainless is good but not perfect, and the glass is very good.  All the windows roll up and down smoothly, doors open and close well, panels align well.

It still needs the outside, dual mirrors, lower body "300" belt moldings, front marker lights, and license plate lights. Inside, passenger side- and rear arm rests, and a paint job.

As you can see, the car is still what I'd call a light project.  I believe I've priced the car fairly to leave some room to finish it out and still be right-side up.  All the big stuff is done and the car is a great runner/driver as-is.

While every effort is being made to describe the car accurately, please keep in mind it is a 47-year-old classic, and therefore being sold "as-is," without warranty expressed or implied.

Please contact me upon auction completion to make arrangements to pay within 3 days by bank wire transfer, major bank cashier's check, or cash.  Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, and I will make myself available to your carrier for pickup and loading.  Please, no zero-feedback bidders without checking with me prior to bidding.

I am open to a reasonable offer on the car, and you may call me at 360-936-9257 to discuss anything you wish.

Cheapest SUVs of 2024

Mon, Jan 29 2024

There is no doubt that cost is the number one decision maker when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. As prices continue to climb, affordable choices are getting harder to find, so we dug through what's available to find the least expensive SUVs in the most popular classes.  These prices are current as of January 2024, using available manufacturer suggested retail prices for 2024 models wherever possible. The prices include destination fees, but not dealer markups or incentives. Cheapest small SUV: 2024 Hyundai Venue Not surprisingly, the most affordable SUVs are the smallest. There's a whole host of subcompact SUVs out there, with some of the first introduced being the Nissan Juke, Mini Countryman and Kia Soul. In the beginning, these micro utes were marketed to empty nesters and first-time buyers, but nowadays they represent an alternative to the conventional sedan and have been increasing market share ever since. Profit margins in this class are narrow and popularity is high, which means the entrants are competitively priced. The top choices in the class are only a couple thousand dollars more than the most affordable alternatives below, so it may make sense to consider our favorites that include the Mazda CX-30, Volkswagen Taos and Chevrolet Trax. 2024 Hyundai Venue: $21,135 The Hyundai Venue debuted in 2020 and earned praise for its overall value. You get a ton of features for the money as well as a very generous warranty. Holding it back is its rather weak engine and very tiny proportions. Honorable mentions: 2024 Chevrolet Trax: $21,495 2024 Kia Soul: $21,565 Cheapest midsize SUV: 2024 Chevrolet Equinox Compact SUVs have the broadest appeal thanks to a very diverse group. It seems as though there's a great pick for nearly every taste, whether you're seeking something sporty, rugged or luxurious. They're a great pick for small families with one child and/or a dog. The class is led by vehicles that include the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Mazda CX-50, which are still within reach of most shoppers' budgets. 2024 Chevrolet Equinox: $27,995 The Equinox debuted back in 2005 and this current third-generation was last redesigned in 2018, though a new one is right around the corner for the 2025 model year. While the current 2024 model may be showing its age, it still deserves your consideration for its comfortable ride quality, confident cornering and roomy passenger space.

Opel's version of the Chevy Bolt will confuse people at Paris Motor Show

Fri, Aug 26 2016

Two things are now official. First, Opel will reveal the Ampera-e, or the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt, at the Paris Motor Show in October. Second, General Motors has outdone itself in brand confusion, topping the Bolt/Volt ridiculousness. Opel isn't giving a single-charge range for the Ampera-e but the company is promising a "significantly longer range" than other electric vehicles. The Bolt is estimated to have a 200-mile range on the EPA scale, so whatever the Opel achieves on the European cycle will be done with the same batteries and motor as the Chevy. Opel is also looking to appeal to the auto enthusiasts with other factoids, which are basically just Bolt stats translated into metric. For instance, the Ampera-e will be able to go 0 to 50 kilometers per hour (which is 31 miles per hour to us Americans, but we're talking Europe here) in just 3.2 seconds. And for those looking to stay connected, as many as seven mobile devices can attached to the car's wireless hot spot. GM said in February that the European of the Bolt would be available across the pond next year, so the most recent bit of news isn't shocking. Still, General Motors continues to create confusion between all-electric Bolt and the extended-range plug-in Volt. It's already been reported that the Korean symbol and pronunciation of what is "B" in English is identical to the English "V," meaning that there is no difference between "Bolt" and "Volt" in that country (though there are no plans to sell the Bolt in South Korea as of yet). Now, in Europe, they're taking the name they used to use for the European of the Volt — Ampera — and merely adding an "-e" at the end of it. For those looking to be less confused, take a look at Opel's press release here.

Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt have best sales month of 2015

Tue, Jun 2 2015

Things are trending upwards for the two best-selling plug-in vehicles in the US. Both the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf had their best sales month of 2015 in May, with the Volt selling 1,618 units and the Leaf moving 2,104. The upward swings come at an interesting time, with lots of excess first-gen Volts waiting for buyers and some buyers already ordering their second-gen Volts. So far in 2015, the Leaf has outsold the Volt 7,742 to 4,397. While 7,700 Leafs is respectable, it's nowhere near the numbers that Nissan will have to hit to reach the 50,000 annual sales that CEO Carlos Ghosn says is possible in the US. Still, the Leaf had its best sales month since December 2014 (when it sold 3,102 units) in May, but last month was still down 32.5 percent compared to May 2014. Despite the smaller overall number, May represents a big positive for Chevy, which has seen sluggish sales for the Volt for a long while now. The 1,618 Volts sold last month are only 3.9 percent lower than the 1,684 sold in May 2014 and May 2015 was the best month for Volt sales since August 2014. Perhaps salesmen are ready to make deals, what with thousands sitting around on dealer lots right now. The next-gen Volt is due this fall, and the order books (in California, at least) opened up this week. Like every month, our full wrap-up of green car sales in the US is coming soon (the VW e-Golf, for example, hit a best-ever high of 410 sales). Until then, feel free to discuss the Volt and Leaf sales figures in the Comments. Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid ev sales hybrid sales
