1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

Description

It's not just that this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu has a terrific classic hardtop appearance. As you dig deeper, you'll see a stellar interior, a performance stroker motor, and an extra gear to really take advantage of it all. So keep reading, because as you find out about more details, this coupe only gets better.

This coupe has the perfect mix of preservation and restoration (and has the receipts to back it up, too.) The factory-correct shade of Blue Mist looks amazing when it the sunshine hits it. That's what happens when someone makes a solid investment in updating the paint with a modern clearcoat. And because this one has the cleaner lines of a Super Sport model, you really get to see the great creases of the iconic sheetmetal. The reason these Chevelles have remained so popular is because they represent the best of the era. It's a clean design free from the clutter. So instead of tailfins, these had a sleek profile that accented its sportiness with the pillarless hardtop profile and rear fenders that had Coke bottle-inspired gentle curves. Adding to this subtitle performance design are the iconic Cragar SS wheels.

Beautiful bucket seats complete with center console is exactly what you want when having proper '65 SS car. And getting the look right on this one also meant an investment in new carpeting, door panels, and headliner. So an interior this nice makes it easy to share your classic coupe with family and friends. And it even comes with great upgrades like a Lecarra sports steering wheel, a trio of auxiliary gauges, and an AM/FM radio with a modern digital tuner that's designed to blend seamless with this factory interior. Plus, have you counted the extra gear on the stick shift yet?

This Chevelle was born at the beginning of the small block's dominance, and so it's great to life the hood and see such an impressive powerplant. That shining motor is a 350 cubic inch V8 that was built only about a year ago at a Tampa speed shop. They stroked the V8 to 383ci total, and also added go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, Summit heads, HEI ignition, aluminum radiator, and Hooker long tube headers. That last feature not only adds power, but it also contributes to the thunderous roar from the H-pipe dual exhaust. When you have a serious V8 like this, it's great to have a Borg Warner five-speed that gives an extra gear for total control. And more than just all-out speed, this Malibu has great any time driving features like power steering and front disc brakes.

Complete with the original warranty card, owner's manual, build receipts, and restoration photos, this is truly a cut-above classic that has been built with all the upgrades you would have done yourself. So to have it in the right vintage hardtop that's ready to run today is an impressive find. But you're not the only one who likes a good value, so hurry up and call today!
