Vehicle Description
The Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle introduced in 1964 was the perfect
fit between the diminutive Chevy II and the full-size Chevrolet.
The new car resembled a scaled-down Chevrolet but established its
own identity with distinctive styling cues and a well-designed and
roomy interior that was at its sportiest in Super Sport trim. The
Malibu Super Sport returned in 1965 with few revisions. Easily
identified by blacked-out front and rear trim, Impala spinner wheel
covers, extra bright exterior trim and SS badges inside and out,
the Super Sport package established Chevelle's performance image at
the outset of the classic muscle-car era, one that would remain
undisputed to the end. Built at the Fremont, California, assembly
plant, this attractive 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS
convertible remained a California car until it was purchased by a
Kansas City, Missouri, resident in 2011. It was then put through a
comprehensive two-year frame-off restoration using NOS and original
parts and components, and was correctly refinished in its very
unique marriage of code-P Evening Orchid Metallic paint, white
soft-top and ivory-over-black interior. The matching-numbers
327/300 HP small-block V-8 provides snappy performance in concert
with the Chevelle's 4-speed manual transmission and heavy-duty
12-bolt Positraction rear end. The interior incorporates the
classic SS formula for sporty driving: standard vinyl bucket seats,
a center console with locking storage and optional Impala-style
wood-grain steering wheel. The car retains its original California
Black license plates and is generously optioned with power steering
and brakes, Soft Ray-tinted glass and power windows, power soft
top, tilt steering column, dash-mounted clock, remote-control
driver's mirror, AM/FM pushbutton radio and below-dash tissue
dispenser. Well cared for and described as a beautiful driver, it
is as clean underneath as it is above and has been stored in a
climate-controlled garage. HIGHLIGHTS - Matching numbers 327/300 HP
