A vehicle of the 1965 Chevelle model year, designated as a source of components, is typically acquired for the purpose of salvaging usable parts. These components can range from mechanical elements, such as engine parts and transmissions, to body panels, interior trim, and electrical systems. The donor vehicle may be non-operational due to extensive damage or mechanical failure, rendering it unsuitable for restoration as a complete automobile.
The acquisition of such a donor car can provide a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new or refurbished components for restoration or repair projects involving other 1965 Chevelles. It allows enthusiasts and restorers to maintain the authenticity of their projects by utilizing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Furthermore, it provides access to components that may be difficult or impossible to source through conventional channels.
