1965 Chevelle Malibu Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1965 Mileage:45222
Location:

San Marcos, Texas, United States

San Marcos, Texas, United States

Welcome!  You are bidding on a beautiful 1965 Chevelle Malibu Convertible.  This car has been garage kept for the past 10 years and is in great shape.  I have driven it across the state of Texas several times, but now it is only driven on Saturdays and Sundays as a cruiser. This is one fantastic ride!!!! And, YES, THIS CAR HAS 45,222 miles on the odometer.  I bought the car in 2003 in Houston, TX.  The then owner told me that he kept the car in the garage and rarely drove it (he had owned the car for 6 years).  He also told me that the gentleman that he bought the car from had owned it for 20 years, and kept it in the garage permanently, only taking it out for service!

In Line 6 cylinder 230 engine - This is only the second engine to go into this car.  It was rebuilt and put in the car 8 years ago, and only has about 2k miles on it. 

Interior is all original with exception to the carpet and glove box (SEATS ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION!).  Carpet is in good shape.  Glove box is original, but the guts were taken out to make room for a cd player that I custom installed when I bought the car.  The glove box lock is not currently working and will need to be replaced. 

Cream Vinyl soft top convertible - This is only the second top put on the car and was on it when I purchased the car in 2003.  The top is electric powered by a switch on the driver's side.  Currently, the hydraulic pump is not working well and likely needs to be replaced.  The top still comes down and goes up, but needs a little manual assistance.  Just a couple of small cuts on the top (cuts do NOT leak, they are not all the way through the top).  The top cover also comes with the car. 

16 inch Craiger rims, but comes with the ORIGINAL hubs (as seen in pictures) that are in fantastic shape! Spare tire included as well. 

This Car does not have power steering. 

The only problem with this car is the small amount of rust in the rear wheel wells.  These panels will eventually need to be replaced. 

The car has a beautiful paint job and looks great as you can see in the pics, but there are slight chips in the paint here and there.

Weatherproofing throughout needs to be replaced.  Most of it has dried up and is pretty fragile.

Chrome decals and kit are on just fine, but will eventually need to be replaced as well.  See Pics.

There is a small hole in the trunk that you can see in the photo.

Interior door panels are worn/torn at the bottom, see pics.

Small crack in the windshield on passenger side (see pic).  This is not expanding at all and does not obstruct view.





HAPPY BIDDING!!!

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
