NUMBERS MATCHING 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS, 283 2bbl carb, Powerglide automatic transmission, 10 bolt rear, 64,724.8 original miles... hasn't been driven since the 1980's. NUMBERS MATCHING The VIN, engine ID code and transmission oil pan code match the included original Protect-O-Plate card (see pictures). The rear axle code could not be located (the casting number is 3863495N, which some claim is fairly rare to the 65 Chevelle) nor could I find a partial VIN code on the transmission, but I have no reason to believe either are not original to the car. Service documentation shows the Powerglide had been worked on in the mid 1980's. As far as I can tell from the paper work, the tranny was rebuilt and not replaced, so I believe the oil pan is still bolted to the original transmission case. The trim tag and engine/transmission codes show the car to be an very early model which was assembled at the Baltimore, Maryland plant in August 1964. The car was purchased from Winders Chevrolet in Columbus, Ohio. The delivery date written in the Chevrolet Owner Protection Plan warranty booklet is October, 7 1964. NEEDS A TOTAL RESTORATION The 283 hasn't been started in five years, but it is not locked up; you can turn it over by hand. The car was disassembled and the majority of the small parts/trim have been labeled and boxed. The interior is complete minus the carpet and headliner but will need restored (the original seat covers have the early ribbed centers). There are no cracks in the dash pad or steering wheel. The only other items missing that I am aware of are the heater box cover, blower motor, wheel opening moldings, rocker panel moldings, radio and original wheel covers. The frame, floor and trunk pans, rear quarters, fenders and many other body panels and sheet metal parts will need repaired or replaced (see pictures). This is a 51 year old Ohio car... it has rust. Please look carefully at the pictures below this description and ask any questions before buying or making an offer. This would be an extremely nice and valuable car once restored, or the perfect donor car for someone restoring or recreating a Malibu SS - there are plenty of good parts to work with. EXTRAS Included is a very usable 1964 Chevelle front end which consists of fenders, inner fenders, radiator support, grille and front/rear bumpers. Also included is the original 1965 owners manual with the protective plastic sleeve, original Owner Protection Plan booklet with the Protect-O-Plate card, 1965 Custom Feature Accessories booklet, trim sheet, original dealer window sticker, original Opti-Kleen washer bottle with cap and service documentation from the 70's and 80's. TRANSPORTING Although the car was disassembled, I have since bolted on the doors, fenders and trunk lid to help with transporting. The first picture below shows the vehicle as it currently sits. The hood is in place and latched, but the hinges are not installed, so a strap may be needed to hold it in place. The fenders are bolted at the cowl and radiator support (the inner fenders are inside the car). Both doors have 4 of the 6 bolts holding them on and will open and close. The door glass is still in place, so the front windows will roll up. The quarter windows and track have been removed, but will be carefully packed. The rear bumper is still bolted on. The front bumper is inside the car with all the '64 parts. The interior is currently inside a garage, but should fit inside the car with all the other parts - IT WILL BE A TIGHT FIT. The car doesn't have brakes, but the transmission can be shifted into park and neutral... so plan accordingly. I have a clear title in my name. The car is being sold as-is where-is with no warranty expressed or implied. A non-refundable PayPal deposit of $175 is due within 24 hours. The remaining balance can be paid in cash when the vehicle is picked up. We do not deliver - the buyer is solely responsible for transport from Albany, Ohio. Posted below are about 70 pictures of the car.  Please look  at them closely and ask any questions before you buy. The two coffee cans in the above picture do not belong or go with the car. The below pictures were taken 5 years ago before disassembling. Thanks for looking!
