1965 Chevelle 12 Bolt Question

[Musclecar70]

I have what I believe to be the rarest 12 bolt rear end. I am going to post the number code in a picture so you know I am not making this up. Please decode this and tell me what you come up with. The code on the drivers side front is GA0119B casting number 3859140N and the date is L214 (December 21, 1964). It also has the larger 11 inch drum brakes. I look forward to your responses. Todd

GA would be the correct code for a `65 Z16 Chevelle.

[Musclecar70]

Thank you. That is also what my book has listed. Indeed I have one of the 201 original 12 bolts from a Z16. No doubt a Z16 owner will be interested in it. According to the website many did not survive due to the high gear ratio (3.31). How do you put a price on an item like this?

So a KQ 12 bolt from a 69 COPO Chevelle would sell for and average of 750.00 ??? If the pictures aint lying..a Z-16 rear is worth way more than even the higfh number of 1200.

Thanks Albert. I agree. I wonder if ebay is the place to sell it? Hard to place a price on an item like this.

so are you offering way more than $1200 if so he should sell it to you I have sold 20-30 rears in the past couple months so I have a pretty good idea of what its worth its not like finding a be camaro rear end but to get a chevelle rear end that will bring $1200 is a great find the chevelle stuff just dosent bring the big bucks like camaros even though it should jmo

If it is for a Z16 only I believe it is like finding a BE rear end. MRREC where are you ?

[Musclecar70]

What I know about the Z16 rear end. It is unique in every way. It has special axles and tubes that are from the larger passenger car cut down to fit the Chevelle housing. So, it also has the larger axle bearings and 11 inch drums from the big cars. They only made this axle for the Z16 and we all know there were only 201 of those cars ever made. There is a Z16 owner out there that will be needing this correct axle.

MRREC will have a good idea at value. Great find. Joey...Out of the 20-30 rears you have sold in the last couple months, I'm guessing none of them were like this one.
