I have a good friend who has owned a very unique '65 Chevelle SS convertable since the mid eighties..
 He has finally decided after never really using the car much over all that time and plans to restore it never panning out - to try and find out what the market might be for it.
 I know I'll get "this is a Camaro site" - but please have some patience with me here as I try to determine how best for him to get some solid estimates as to what he could possibly be expecting for his:

   1965 Chevelle Super Sport Convertable with approx, 45,000 miles.. (I believe he is the 2nd owner)
   Western Canadian Car with solid GM Vintage Services documentation..
   Extremely solid sheet metal outside, inside, and under..
   Faded Regal Red paint with a few minor door dings and scratches and wear/White power top/Good original red bucket interior w/console
   and Seat Belts..
   Small block / Powerglide drivetrain / PS & PB / Power Top & Power Tinted Windows etc..
   Originally a GM Canada Show and Display Car in 1964-1965 as per documentation..
   3rd Chevelle (VIN #0003) - with August 21,1964  build date..
   1st of 369 Super Sport models produced in for 1965 year in Canada...
   1st 1965 Chevelle Convertable produced in Canada..

 I'm sure we will be advised to post same on Chevelle related sites and intend to - so if anyone wants to do so please accompany any such advice with suggestions as to which ones would be the best in their opinion as I am a Camaro owner and don't have much knowledge of good Chevelle-related sites that might be somewhat comparable to the CRG..

Thanks, and I appreciate anyone taking the time to respond...

I'm sorta confused. You said Small Block in the listing then mention of 396 later on down with the VIN. Please clear this up.   Here's the link to a Chevelle site and the best one I know of.   http://www.chevelles.com/

Sorry - Just a coincidence I guess that I didn't notice.. but his documentation states the first car of a total of 396 Super Sport cars produced in the Oshawa Ontario GM facility in Canada - no reference to the 396 engine intended.

I just read it too fast Randy. Your total is actually 369 not 396.

Apparently 283 - along with some intersting options that I'm wasn't even sure were normally available back then...

N05 = Locking gas cap
C14 = Wiper System Contol Electric
C06 = Folding Power Top Lift
B70 = Cover I/P Upper Pad??
A49 = Seat Belts Front w/Retractor
U16 = Tachometer
A31 = Window Electric Control - Among others..

I'm not that familiar with older Chevelles as I mentioned, my first new car was a '68 SS396 and that is where my knowledge base of them begins - but I would assume as the dealer on the documentation is listed as 'GM Canada Show Car Account - Oshawa Ontario' means that it was a promo car and used by GM for displaying the new models for '65 - possibly across Canada where it finally became available for public sale in Western Canada and where the first owner apparently resided before my friend got it.
