I have a '65 Chevelle SS. Unlike the car on Ebay, mine actually has the original numbers-matching engine, transmission and rear axle, but since it's red and not black, I'll take half of what this guy is asking. Better act fast though, I expect the offers to come rolling in. If the car sells in the next 24 hours I'll include an extra set of tires, and a nice hat. |

That car......Stunningly beautiful! Nice car, well done. I love that era of GM A bodies (used to own a 66 Skylark, girlfriend has a 67 Special. Instead of a 1 of very few car, I would rather have a clean, straight 6, granny model and use less then 1/2 of what that guy is asking to build a monster of a Chevelle. |

who knows what its worth. lots of documentation but its not a numbers matching car. emperor's clothes if you ask me. some folks are paying upwards of 30+ million for some ferraris (some GT cant remember the exact one). meh.. i just dont understand. Rare homologated Ferraris are an entirely different ballgame than a mixmaster Chevelle, dude. |

Quoted: I had a 1965 convertible. I paid $300 for it buying it from an elderly lady in town. she cried when when one of my buddies i let borrow it totaled it...  it was that awful greenish blue color... i can only imagine what it would be worth now in good shape  Never, ever, ever let anyone borrow your car. Not even if they're part of your own family. Seriously. In my family, the accident rate is almost 100 percent of the "friend borrowed the car" rate. Not kidding. CJ |

My '70 SS396. At my age its no longer about the speed. The throaty sound and the right tunes when you're cruising are all you need. She isn't worth $400 grand, but she's my baby.

You'll never touch the torque though.............. or MPG. + it's diesel so it'll run good when SHTF. 
Stolen from the article; To understand why anyone would commit to such an unorthodox engine swap requires nothing more than glancing at the stats. At 950 hp and 1,700 lb-ft of torque, Mike has more than tripled the output of a stock LLY Duramax, which is rated at 310 hp and 605 lb-ft from the factory. The Chevelle even knocks down 32 mpg. Despite such staggering figures, the engine combo is surprisingly simple. Read more: http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/0906phr_1970_chevy_chevelle_turbo_diesel/viewall.html#ixzz2NZVUisfx |

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll40/gymbrown/48.jpg Spitting image of the one my best friend in high school had. A couple years after we graduated (1978) he sold it some local kid for $500. He's still kicking himself, and I kick him every chance I get. LC |

Quoted: Quoted: You can get a very good Superbird for less than that. Ummm, those two words don't belong in the same sentence together. No such beast...... Hey, if you can get as much for a car as a good example of a Superbird brings at a Barrett Jackson auction, then it MUST be a very good car. Very good for the bank account, at the very least. Just a few days ago I found that there's a guy who's keeping a Superbird in a big plastic bubble in his shop. Needless to say, it's in beautiful condition. The bubble is dusty but the car is pristine. |

My father had a 1969 Chevelle when I was growing up. He had to sell it after he lost his job.

He let my grandmother drive it. When the water hose blew, she thought she could just turn on the wipers and make it to the barn....

Wow, I remember and participated in the Raffle he is referring to. The engine story is very interesting. If that is an original Z16, the price might be on the conservative side. There were only 201 big block chevelles in '65. They have heavy duty frames, suspension components and such. There are some unique interior items and several hand made trim parts that were never reproduced. It is one of the rarest and most desirable muscle cars. I have a '65 Malibu SS (327cid) and I would love to have a Z16.
