Re: [Chevelle-list] Out of Touch?
Its a kit car. Sitting in 4 pieces at my sons house.We bought it for his HS graduation and he drove it for 5 or 6 years. Was a small journal 327 with T-10 4 speed. Its been sitting in various stages of disrepair since. I assumed ownership in lieu of debt. I am near the point where I will have time to devote to it. I promised him that we will move it to my garage by Labor Day, we'll see.

You're OK Rick. It's the seller of the car you described
that's out of touch with reality. Unless a 65 is an
original L-79 or one of the 201 BB Z-16's, it's not worth much
at all in poor condition. An original L-79 or Z-16
might bring the kind of $$ you mentioned only if the buyer has
a burning desire for a 65. I have a fairly nice 65 SS and am
aware that the 66-72 BB models are more in demand & bring much
higher prices. I can't even guess what the car you saw is
worth but shooting from the hip I'd say probably $4-6k and
only to the right person. Sounds like it might be a project
car or on it's way to a parts car. Keep looking. They're out
there in your price range. Sellers exploit but cash
talks!!

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Out of Touch?
Please let me know if I'm totally out of touch with
reality :).
Yesterday I went to look at a 65 chevelle
malibu convertible. White with blue interior, reported to be
"numbers matching". It was a 30 footer at best. Panels
were generally straight, some peeling & cracking of paint
between the trunk lid & top well. Passenger front fender was
pushed in right at the front corner, looked like they
sideswiped a garage door.Looked like a 10 year old Earl
Sheib paint job. Interior looked like it was recently
done. Door panels looked original with repair carpeting
added at the bottom 6 inches-I don't think that was original.
Carpet good, Front bench seat cover looked relatively new &
clean except for a 2 inch gash under the drivers butt.
Recent aftermarket A/C added but the water pump pulley had no
provision for a belt Motor looked like it could have
been original.
As I raised the hood to look at motor I asked how much.
20K! And the look on my face must have confused the girl, she
said, oh wait a minute let me check the list inside. A minute
later she returned Oh I was wrong its 30K! What the heck are
these dealers smoking? I went in thinking it would be in
the 10-15K range. It was certainly an OK driver but 30K is
premium money for a 65 - at least I think it is.
I went there with the intent of really looking it over good,
but decided there was no point for further discussion.Is
it possible/likely/reasonable to look for a 65 convertible in
the 10-15 K range that isn't a basket case? Or am I really
out of touch with the market.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Out of Touch?
Absolutely, positively, without a doubt: there's a lot of crack smoking going on at that dealer. Top price of a *perfect* original 65 Malibu Convertible is around $35k. Price for a car like the one you describe is $12-$15k, IMO Karl Groves http://www.karlcore.com <http://www.karlcore.com/> http://www.grayscalecms.com <http://www.grayscalecms.com/> http://www.thehotrodclassifieds.com <http://www.thehotrodclassifieds.com/> http://www.8pistons.com <http://www.8pistons.com/> _ From: Rick Schaefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 1:10 PM To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: [Chevelle-list] Out of Touch?
