[Chevelle-list] 1965 Malibu RHD (Wheel Covers)

2008-09-20 Thread Johann Grobler
Firstly; My apologies to all for hi-jacking the thread.  I tried to illustrate 
the complexities of the available options.  The options are so many that you 
could order a Malibu with your options and have a car that is absolutely unique.

Secondly to Josh's question, It has the fibreglass dash and to remove the 
instruments, the whole dash is removed. Fairly simple bolt off/on.

Yes it has the RHD conversion.  It is on the website 
http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/39452

My only problem is to find the right Wheel Covers locally as the cost of the 
covers plus the freight cost plus the import tax makes it impossible for me to 
import them.  The Cost is about Rand 6400 = $800 which is more than double what 
I paid for for the mag wheels now on and equal to a month's salary!.  So if 
anyone can come up with a solution, it would be appreciated.

Wow a fiberglass dash?  Correct me if I'm wrong your car has the right 
hand drive conversion right? Thats pretty cool.

  Hullo Dale,
  The section that you refer to is extremely helpful as it acts as a 
guide to what options you would want to add to your restoration project.  I am 
busy with a 65 Malibu that was CKD'd to GM South Africa from Canada  1965 and 
has many unique features! 
1.. Fibreglass dash 
2.. No removable Instrument cluster 
3.. Flat face plate 
4.. Power Windows 
5.. No Heater 
6.. No power steering 
7.. No nothing 
8.. Absolute basic! 
9.. Lost of options to fit! 
10.. CKD 24 Sep 1964 (Painted stamp date)

Chevrolet did not retain any statistical records on option 
combinations. It is impossible to know with certainty the exact production 
number in situations of multi-option combinations.  However, Chevrolet did 
report individual regular production option items and the series/model it could 
be ordered on.  For 1970 numbers, see 
http://www.chevellestuff.com/1970/options_by_model.htm for a list of options 
and http://www.chevellestuff.com/1970/style_prod_no.htm for list of body styles 
sold.

I just sold a bunch of wheel covers on ebay (none were for a 65). Four went to 
Austria, three to Australia and one to Peru. None of the shipments cost over 
$50 USD. Set up an automatic search that notifies you by email when covers are 
listed and check with the seller before hand as to the cost to ship. If he is 
fair, you should be able to get comparable rates to SA.

Godspeed,
Dan Solomon
