The other day, Isaw a 65 Malibu SS parked on the street... No answer at the door, so I wrote a breif letter with my phone number...
The owner called back:
Original owner, 283, 3-speed manual with buckets. Originally a column-shift, but now floor shift (no console), still has the 3-on-the-tree column (but bad linkage).
Stock, straight body, minimal rust seen (it a California car afterall), really weathered paint (can't even tell if it was blue or silver originally)... The owner couldn't remember the mileage, but well over 200K with a rebuild somewhere along the way years ago). Current registration
I didn't look that closely at it (it wasn't for sale), but I'd assume a 10-bolt. Stock wheels and SS wheel covers, buckets and factory guages (no tach)...
The owner said he wants $6000...
I am loking for a car for my 15 year old nephew (he wants a 64 or 65 Chevelle), and he was looking at a 4-door for $5500 (not really sure what his price range is). Seemed to be a decent project car, but will probably need everything rebuilt.
Just not sure if $6K was a little too high, or a pretty good price now days...
Thanks,
Tony
