Re: 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS L79
The car was painted by 2nd owner when car was put quarters on with lacquer in 1969 so that is survivor paint from then.

Re: 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS L79
I put this car back together for Barry. The car was repainted and has been painted before so I guess its not a true survivor with original paint but from Barrys research it was painted 1969 I guess. This car was sitting for 25+ years in a garage most likely not even covered up. To have the paint buff out to what you see here is amazing in my eyes. The car has a drag racing history and most likely the wheel wells were cut out for some bigger tires. Then it was repaired with half quarters for some reason. This car is super solid. Who ever did the quarters did a good job. When you look at the side of the car it's like glass. The car is black and if any imperfection was there it would standout. Anyone who has any questions on what was done to the car feel free to PM me and I will give you my contact number.

Re: 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS L79
We now have a new definition to digest "Survivor Paint".
Looks like a Kool Car,

Re: 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS L79
It is a nice car and I can appreciate the car but isn't survivor a designate for the overall originality of the car, drivetrain, body, paint....as built....it becomes a bit "gray" when you designate something that infers original but is not. I know the intent was not to represent the paint as "factory" but by saying "survivor", are you not inferring the same thing.
I guess it just gets to be hard to navigate when people start developing their own language rather than saying one repaint in 1969....just my two cents, not looking to stir the pot, just putting it out there.

Re: 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS L79
While I agree that survivor is a term that should be protected and used properly, its not unreasonable for this seller to try and describe an impressive "surviving" 46 year old black repaint. That speaks volumes about the previous bodywork and the safe and dry storage it has had. The "1/2 quarters" statement showed there's no deception involved and there was just a bit of clarification in order. GLWS
