1965 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

• Cream/pearl coupe with a black vinyl top shown from all sides — paint looks glossy and even, so no paint budget from these photos.
• Listing calls the colour Pearl and the car an SS, while photos show a Malibu-badged restomod — judge it as a modified Malibu, not a stock SS.
• Body looks straight and sits low on large modern wheels — no bodywork is evident, but the stance and wheels are restomod money, not originality.
• Custom tan-and-black interior is shown in detail: TMI-style seats, door cards and rear seat look new and clean — no interior spend is shown.
• Dash looks clean with modern wheel and shifter — no dash budget is shown.
• LS engine bay is shown twice: black bay, modern LS motor and intake look clean and tidy — no bay spend is evident, and engine internals can't be judged from photos.
• No underside photo is shown — chassis, floors and the quality of the swap underneath can't be judged from what's shown.
• No trunk photo is shown — trunk condition can't be judged.

Money: at $45,000 the money is in the build you can see — clean LS bay and a new-looking custom interior — but the underside is unseen, so the swap quality underneath must be verified before paying restomod money.
