1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible, odel 45667, 83 CI, 90 HP, bbl. Powerglide, ower top, M radio, retty much restored to original, ajor change from stock is power disc front brakes with proportional dual circuit braking, heels and tires. I have owned several collectible cars, nd learned pretty early that the single most important item is the condition of the body and frame. The previous owner of this beautiful ’64 Chevelle Malibu was the owner of a local body shop and this was his personal vehicle. As might be expected, e applied his expertise to the body and frame. He started with a very solid car (of course he knew to do that), eplaced as necessary the rusted sheet metal—new rear quarters, runk floor panels with new metal, tc. and did the hours and hours of work prepping and painting (base coat, lear coat), hich in my opinion turned out beautifully-it’s a burgundy metallic—not sure if it’s the same as GM 1964 color 948, alled Palomar Red, ut it looks striking on the car. I am not proficient in metal work or painting, o I only bought this car as the expensive and high-talent work was complete. The chassis is solid and true, he panels are straight, ery good hood, runk and door fit and gaps. Ok so the car looks great, ut how does it run? This is where I come in, am fully capable of repairing, eplacing and refurbishing the parts of vintage cars—I enjoy doing that. This car, hen I bought it, an well, ut had some issues. The following is a partial list of the work recently completed on the car, some of which was done by the previous owner, he rest my efforts): Front disc brakes (Dual circuit proportional power brakes), rilled and slotted rotorsRebuilt Powerglide transmission Rebuilt steering box New radiator and hoses Rebuilt alternator New rear quarters, tc., tc, rofessional body shop sheet metal repair and repaint New American Racing 17” Torq Thrust II wheels New tires Cooper Zeon ZPT, 25/45/R17 front, 45/45/R17 rear, ives a nice stance. Rebuilt front seat New seat belts (front) New carpet New dash Rebuilt speedometer New dash mounted tachometer (replacing clock) New headlamp switch New front parking lamps New turn signal switch New glove box New drink holder—neat, its in space of original ashtray, reat idea. Recent new exhaust system New grille Rebuilt carburetor Newish boot—these 64-65 A body boots fit poorly, ousy design, hanks GM Newish front and rear bumpers. (Rear bumper is actually for a 1965 Malibu, its and works, ut not concours correct--I think he checked the wrong year when ordering it, s ’64 repro bumpers are available.). Present condition: As above with the following observations: A few paint chips from driving and careless tools, ot bad, ut I wanted to point it out. Inoperable horn—never got around to fixing it. Passable convertible top— serviceable, ould be replaced for concours showing. (on my convertibles I keep the top and windows down unless it’s raining). The side windows all have scratches in the glass, uarter size, own low, looks like spider web, ystery, uspect earlier contact with the lift mechanism with the window down, oes not impact visibility, ust want to point it out. Odometer shows about 81,000 miles, o proof, ut I expect it is correct. Now, strongly encourage you or your representive to see the car before bidding—I never would buy a car this valuable without personally checking it out myself. I have been honest in it’s description, ut what looks good to me might be an issue for you, nd issues I see may be of no consequence to you.
This car is not perfect, ut then it's not $40,000 either, as a low reserve.
Car is fully functional (except the horn) to the best of my knowledge, uns good, racks straight, ooks very nice and is dependable. That said, here is no warranty expressed or implied, nd all sales are final. I have a clear title for the car, nd will coordinate pickup (not arrange) with the company of your selection, t my location in Fenton, ichigan. Thanks for looking, ny questions, ontact me.
