PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT INTEND ON BUYING. WE ARE RE-LISTING DUE TO A BIDDER BEING UNABLE TO PAY Up for auction is a 1965 Chevy Chevelle. This is a true SS, it is a factory 327, 4 speed car. It has never been fully restored, and it is in original well kept condition. But it does have a few upgrades which includes a brand new Flowmaster exhaust, a brand new 4 core radiator, a digital 2 knob radio and a brand new GM Goodwrench 350 engine (the number's matching 327 is included with purchase but needs a crankshaft). Everything else in the car is pretty much stock. The body is very solid and it does not have any rust issues. The paint is in daily driver condition it does have little rock chip here and there but nothing serious. It is still the factory dark blue but has been repainted. The drivers door on the bottom inside has some surface rust but nothing bad at all. All the body panel are original to the car and have no signs or rust or rust repair. I did buy a replacement door and hinges which have not been installed and I will send along with the car. Floors and trunk are original and super solid. The front end has been completely rebuilt, as well as the entire braking system. This car goes down the road straight and stops perfectly. It has manual brakes and it is a non power steering car, but you can't tell when driving it. It has brand new 17X8 inch American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels with new 225/55/17 inch tires. I do have the numbers matching 327 in my possession. It is included in the sell and I will gladly have it shipped once the car is sold and paid for. The engine was in perfect running condition when I got the car. A friend and I were out cruising it around and we noticed a knocking sound so we took it home and pulled the engine and noticed that the crank had broken near the number 8 piston, so all it needs is a new crank. Instead of having the 327 built, I bought a new GM crate motor and installed it as soon as it arrived. The interior has been redone by previous owner, the original color is light blue, and as you can see in the pictures, it is now black. This is a fun car to drive and it turned head everywhere we go. The paint is decent but in no way show quality. I bought the car with plans to restore it, but plans have changed. I could easily restore this car and ask crazy amounts of money, but I have had fun owning it and it's time to move on. This is in no way a rust bucket nor is it a bondo bucket, the body is in good condition for a unrestored car. These 65 Malibu SS are very hard to come by in this condition at reasonable price, so bid with confidence and feel free to ask me any questions. We are being up front and honest about the car and we have nothing to hide, so I urge anyone who is interested to come check it out in person or have it inspected before the auction ends. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION. Please if you are not a serious buyer please don't run the price up I want this to be a fair auction. I have had an insurance appraisal ($34,500) and I have also had an restoration expert appraisal ($25,000) in as-is condition. It is not a show car and we are not asking show car money for it, so bid accordingly. All the lights, horn and wipers do function properly as well as the parking brake. The 4 speed transmission shifts perfectly and the clutch is fairly new. All gauges are functioning perfectly. I have only put about 600 miles on it since installing the new motor and I did properly break in the motor and changed the oil afterwards. The cars has absolutely no fluid leaks at all. The engine code for the original 327 is F09I8EB, which makes it a 300 hp 327 and the other number stamped on the block is G106043 which matches the last numbers of the vin. I have pics of these numbers on the engine and I can send them via email if anyone is interested.On Mar-28-14 at 11:03:50 PDT, seller added the following information: I want to address a few questions I keep getting. 1. Why are you selling the Malibu without a RESERVE? I feel that the car is valuable enough to sell itself and I figure that would keep it affordable for the next person. I have several cars in my collection and I am in the process downsizing. I would honestly like the Malibu to go to someone who would appreciate it. Also having no RESERVE keeps the price fair and within reach for many enthusiast. 2. Would you consider trades? As I mentioned I am in the process of downsizing my collection so I am not interested in any trades. Thanks For anyone wanting to have the Malibu shipped I will assist in anyway I can to help get it picked up
