1965 Chevelle SS Clone

1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Clone Description

Body

Stock Malibu Body, SS rear quarter emblems, SS rear deck emblem

New Quarter panels and trunk floor ( 2006 rotisserie rebuild ), Chrysler silver with clear coat( Driftwood satin metallic )

New bumper and NOS grille 2009

Purchased in 2006 with less than 5000miles on complete rotisserie rebuild. Kept either in garage, or, under cover(s) since. Have put less than 2000 additional miles in the last 11 years.

(Working instead of driving it ).

Started every 2 months or so, but, never driven in bad weather. This car is a blast to drive, and gets lots of attention everywhere. It is really geared low for the street, but, extremely fast. Need to use the money for different things, so, this is a real deal for someone looking for a solid machine.

The paint is in decent driver-condition, with a half dozen filled rust areas on the body, small but, obviously there...not noticeable at about 15 feet away. Also,small dent in lower right rear bumper, right front headlight trim and right front headlight-area needs work ( see pics ). Replaced the hood in 2009 ( rust ), with just a black primer hood, and, just never got around to painting the replacement to match the body.

Chrome trim has small pitting on the hood spear, and, rear trunk chrome, mirrors, and on the driver side vent window.

Trunk pan, and floor pans were replaced in the 2006 rotisserie rebuild, and, are in good shape.
