1966 Chevelle Malibu Sedan Project - Over $4k in parts!! - $2999 obo (KC, MO)

Up for sale is my 1966 Chevelle Malibu Sedan. I'm am listing this classic sedan at $2999 OBO. I purchased this car last summer with the intention of rebuilding it to a nice weekend car. Once I got started, I realized that I just don't have the time (or the patience) to complete this job myself, so my loss is truly going to be some lucky collector's gain, as I've already purchased/installed over $4k in parts which I will include with the car. I started taking it apart in my garage last October, and it's been there, protected from the elements, ever since. Basically, my wife is telling me that it's time to get it out of there (smile). Anyway, it's a rare, 4-door Malibu and overall, is pretty solid. The odometer reads 70,318 but I don't know if that's the true number. The exterior color is black and the original interior color is powder blue, although the new interior parts are black and white. (I can send a picture of what the new interior will look like, once installed.) The engine is the 283 V8 with the powerglide automatic transmission with column shift. For those of you who know these cars, you'll agree that the 283 was a very underrated powerplant and very durable. It runs great, and has dual exhaust which really sounds nice! (Please note, the dash has been taken apart, so the vehicle cannot be driven right now.) In anticipation of the restoration, in September, I'd had some maintenance done on it, including four new tires, oil change, new shocks, sway bar links, differential service and had the wheel bearings repacked. I have included pictures of how it looked right before I started the rebuild project and how it looks now, sitting in my garage. As you will note, the interior has basically been completely removed, in anticipation of the restoration. All seats, carpet, dash and door panels have been removed. These are all items in which new parts were ordered to replace them. In order to be show ready, it will need new floor pans, but they are definitely fix-able if you don't want to install new ones.

As I mentioned above, I have already purchased over $4k in parts that will be included with the car. In addition, I will throw in six repair manuals, worth over $200 that I purchased as well. Most of the parts were purchased from Eckler's, OPGI, Big Tony's or Ausley's. There are also parts from Car Parts Discount and other vendors. These are all high quality parts and by themselves, they are worth more than what I'm listing the car for. Bottom line, I need to sell this car, so I have to do what I have to do to get a deal done. Here's what you'll get, in addition to the Chevelle: (there's a lot here)

Parts List included in auction:
(These are all new, unless noted, and I have paperwork on all these. I took a picture of all of the boxes in my living room, so you can see just how much stuff is there!)

As you will note in the pictures, this Chevelle does require some work, but most of the parts that you will need to complete this beauty are all right here. As can be expected with any 44 year-old car, there are some cosmetic/rust issues which give it character, but it's not that far from being a really really nice ride. I have tried to present an accurate representation of the car, both in description and with the pictures. I have a ton more pics and will be glad to send them if necessary. Feel free to email me with any questions and I will be more than happy to answer anything I can. $2999 OBO. Thanks for looking!
