It’s always interesting when a seller lists a batch of cars together in one ad. From numbers matching, and super clean classics to complete project cars and everything in between. And apparently with not much in common. This gaggle of Detroit iron comes across as a mechanic shop that’s thinning out some potentially expensive hardware, with the priciest going for $67,000 (a sweet, 1965 Chevy Corvette). Located in Buckeye, Arizona, the assortment is available here on craigslist. Anyone looking in the general area may want to stop by and check out the seller’s wares. Thanks to Gunter Kramer for finding this menagerie for us!
I could be wrong about there being no common ground here. It seems everything here was built by General Motors, with a preponderance for Chevrolets. Let’s take a quick peek starting with the shining star in the bunch.
1965 Chevrolet Corvette – We’re told this is a numbers-matching L76 327 V8 ‘Vette with an output of 365 horsepower. It may be one of 5,000 built that model year, getting its power in part from a compression ratio of 11 to 1. Everything is said to work as it should and the Chevy sports new tires, wheels, brakes, and a water pump. It runs great and looks almost as nice with a few little dings in the red paint. $67,000.
1958 Chevrolet Impala – This 80,000-mile project convertible comes with the desirable 348 V8 and a Powerglide automatic. $65,000.
1987 Buick Grand National – We’re told this is a two-owner car that still wears its original paint and has logged only 20,000 miles. The seller is looking for $45,000 but it sounds like the price will go up after it goes through the detail shop.
1972 Chevrolet Impala – This is a clean, air-conditioned drop-top with a 400 V8 that appears to need nothing. $29,500.
For $12,900, you get your choice of a 1963 Impala SS with no motor or transmission. It originally had a 4-speed, the chassis has been restored, and the body is in primer – or – you can take home a 1955 Chevy Bel Air that is also drivetrain-free and looks to be missing its glass. The shopping list doesn’t stop here, with a 409 1964 Chevy wagon, another ’63 Impala, and a few others making the hit parade. All of the cars are said to have clear titles.
I wonder if that $65000 price on the ’58 Impala is a typo.
In the “Good Old Days” that car would have been hauled off for scrap. How deep would you be in this one totally restored?
About 140K.
one too many zeros.
yes … first one that caught my eye with a gasp!
The 4 door Impeller wagon with the 4 speed is interesting. For a Chebby.
Bargain Day baby.
Bring your deed to your house.
The vette nice .. the rusty Impala not.
Good luck on gold mine listings.
The ’65 vette is a very nice example. Missing ignition shielding and shod with ’67 Rally Wheels/Caps but looks to be well worth the money/ Love the 365 horse motor.
Another DREAMER SELLER fishing with Overpriced Bait!
Aside from the collection of cars that is a really nice garage he has, with a lot of cool old signs! plus a big parking area outside. I can see myself getting in trouble collecting things with that much space. lol!
Pricing is a bit high. But I heard if you bring your wife he’ll dicker.
It’s raining here in the desert south west today…
Maybe they will get a bath, or be floated away into another “dreamland”
Good Luck
The last 63 Impala I had the previous owner had a unicorn etched into the back window. I talked to a glass “expert” over the phone who assured me that he could polish the etching out, but when he looked at it, he said that it was too deep and told me to buy a new back lite.
I checked around and the only one I found was in Minnesota and he wanted $1100 for the glass, $350 to crate it plus the shipping charges. I’d put the total around $15-1600 for the glass and that didn’t include the weather stripping.
Needless to say, I declined the opportunity to secure it.
This guy wants $12,900 and it doesn’t look to have any back glass at all.
No thanks. Maybe for 1/2 of that. And that’s a big maybe.
Looks like someone accidentally added one too many zeros on to the price of the ’58 Impala.
Very nice group of cars. Unfortunately all are overpriced.!!!
Told his wife he would sell his collection. She’s planning on retiring to a new condo overlooking water somewhere. Going to be disappointed….
With the economy the way it is,,,many of these cars that are big ticket cars have dropped a bit in price,, however the total restoration cars have really dropped in price and are sitting,, as well as ground up restorations..
Yup, definitely sugar plum fairy’s dancing in his head…
Hmmmm, unfortunately l can’t afford the Corvette, but l do like it,but for the choice of the two 63-67,Corvette’s,listed on barnfind’s,l think l would choose this,one,it least the,numbers are right, and that’s a big deal at that ,kinda money.
One other thing the 72,Chevy has,a small/block 400, trust me,l know, everyone at these car shows, will,say 400,Big/Block, but that’s,slang for 400 small/block,not for sure, but this became available, around 68-72,and it ran to 72-79,or so,it’s interesting, because it’s made, differently, that’s why it didn’t stay around,although it’s totally different, in many ways.
