Hi guyz. I've been collecting 65 Chevelles for many years. Now I own only one 1965 Malibu SS hardtop, SBC (heavily modified), 4-speed and a 12 bolt rear (138 car). I've owned 8-65s in my life so I should be able to give some positive advice about them. I probably will take some too. Anyway it's nice to be here. The other Chevelle site I was using was locking up on me, so here I am.

Only about 25 miles from me. Maybe it will be at our car show in July and I will get a chance to see it in person.

Welcome Frank. I am glad you are here. Sounds like you have a lot of experience with the 65 Chevelles. I can't wait to hear about all the cars you have owned and still do own. Again, welcome to the site.

Welcome to the site, I read about the flood damage done to your cars on the other site. Really sucks but hopefully you will have the hardtop ready by spring.

What happened ?
Well, since you asked. During Superstorm Sandy we got about 3' of water in our house and garage. Unfortunately both cars were garaged at the time. Both cars were flood totaled. I bought them both back from the insurance co. and got them both running and driving. I sold the vert. last week but I think I'm going to keep the hardtop to restore. Actually I'm one of the lucky ones.

I am so sorry. They both looked like great cars. It is nice that you were able to purchase them back from the insurance company. A lot of insurance companies don't let you buy them back, they send them to auctions or to be destroyed. I am so glad that you were able to save them.
