Hullo Rick, Dennis and Dale,

After the American Chevies (Impala, Chevelle Chevy II and Corvair, South 
Africa switched to the Holden vehicles "Australia" +- 1968 later named 
Chevrolet; Kommando, Constancia, de Ville and Caprice de Ville and then to the 
re-badged Opel Rekord "Ranger"with the 4cyl 192ci Chevy 2 engine. Brazil had 
the Opala as their re-badged Opel.  The later Opel models became Chevrolet 2.5, 
3.8 and 4.1 models (American engines) and later as Chev Rekord, Commodore and 
Senator with German engines. With Chevrolet back in South African they are now 
selling Australian Holden as Chevrolet (Chevy Spark and Lumina) and also have  
original Opel and Suzuki models on sale.

The mechanical parts are freely available but the trim parts must be 
imported from the USA.  All the exterior and interior trim on this Malibu is 
still original 43 years old!
The carpet, rooflining and seats have been re-covered.  I am looking for 
full hubcaps to replace the original rims.  I cannot import them as the cost 
$400, is equivilant to R3200 (SA) and does not include import duties and 
freight, more than triple the cost of a full set of tires or a set of mag rims. 
Those mags on the Malibu set me back $240 new.

Visit Dayle Coombe's website http://www.moby302.co.za/   and you will get 
the history of Chevrolet in South Africa. Locally (SA) made Chevrolets are 
becoming very scarce  and it appears that this 1965 Malibu  may be the only 
surviving one. I know of three Chevelle 300's that are stil around, all 1964 
models. More detail of the Malibu is to be seen at: 
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3134416

Many imported left hand drive vehicles (Malibu's included) are around and 
available, but right hand drive Chevy's and Fords are few.

I have a problem with GM SA as they have no inkling of the 60's and cannot

the tranny went out along with a few other things so I let it go. Hmm maybe

are two completely different animals - almost nothing in common that I've
found.

I don't know if GM will mail overseas or not and I don't know how their 800
number would be accessible overseas.  Was your 65 built in the U.S. and
exported as a RHD or was it built in one of GM's European plants?  That
might affect the VIN when ordering a kit.

If it's a U.S.-built 65 built for export, it more than likely was built at
Baltimore, Maryland.  They're a major player in export Chevelles.  If it has
a Baltimore VIN, something like 133695B1x.  Not really a lot of
information as far as restoration needs in the 'restoration kit'.  They
consist of photocopies of general data and the 65 contains less than most
years; data such information as model identification, regular equipment by
series, regular production options, interior and exterior color choices,
power team combinations and some engine specs.

A factory assembly manual would be more helpful in getting correct parts and
seeing how the final assembly was done.  Note the assembly manuals DO NOT
contain data on work done at Fisher Body, only those things added on the
final assembly line.
