It's not just that this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is a real-deal SS. As you dig deeper, you'll see a correct but enhanced V8, upgraded suspension, and an extra gear to really take advantage of it all. So keep reading, because as you find out about more details, this classic hardtop only gets better. This coupe has the perfect mix of preservation and restoration. The factory-correct shade of Madeira Maroon is a great color to give you the boldness of... red with a more sophisticated tone. It was given a professional respray so that the coupe looks amazing when the sunshine hits it. And the super-straight sheetmetal helps enhance this impressive presentation. As a true 13837-code Super Sport model, this one has the clean lines that moved the chrome side moldings from the middle of the car to the lower sills. Plus, the black-trim grille and rear fender badges, just gave these models a nice quiet aggression. This Malibu SS resisted the urge to be modified over the years with ostentatious add-ons. Instead, it embraces the clean design, right down to the subtly matching factory SS wheel covers. Beautiful bucket seats and a center console is exactly what you want in a proper '65 SS car. This color was completely changed over to a muscle car friendly black later in life, so everything has a feeling of being a little fresher. An interior this nice makes it easy to share your classic coupe with family and friends. And it even comes with great upgrades like an AM/FM/CD stereo. But this is a true driver's car at its heart. The dual spoke steering wheel gives you a fantastic view of the dash, including the added auxiliary gauge and the large Bosch tach. Plus, have you counted the extra gear on the stick shift yet? The 327 cubic-inch V8 was a great option for these Chevelle Malibus in 1965. The bright orange block, matching valve covers, and correct decals make this one nearly looks as fresh and clean as its first day on the road. And while this is believed to be the original motor (the block is date-coded to '65,) as you dig deeper, you'll see some nice enhancements. This includes a large Holley double-pumper four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock hi-rise aluminum intake, and a set of headers that add even more power as they feed the rumbling dual exhaust. When you have a serious V8 like this, it's great to have a five-speed that gives an extra gear for total control (the original four-speed also comes with the sale.) And speaking of control, this one has been upgraded with four-wheel disc brakes, modern Hankook tires, power steering, and sway bars front & rear to make this the best handling Malibu you've ever experienced. This is the well-presented and correctly enhanced Chevelle Malibu SS you've been waiting for. But you're not the only one who fell in love/lust with this classic coupe. So you need to hurry if you want to take it home. Call today!!!
