Vehicle 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 A/C interior, a performance stroker motor, and much more.
So keep reading, because as you find out about more details, this
restored coupe only gets better.
This coupe has the perfect mix of history and investments (and has
the receipts to back it up, too.) It was given a full rotisserie
restoration completed in 2010, and they paid for quality. The
1965-correct shade of Evening Orchard is a distinguished choice and
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 tribute, 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 fresh
design free from the clutter. So instead of tailfins, these had a
sleek profile that accented its sportiness with the pillarless
hardtop profile. Plus, the rear fenders have the Coke
bottle-inspired gentle curves. And keeping with the tradition of
great American brightwork, the wraparound chrome bumpers, grille,
and lower rocker trim add plenty of shine. Adding to both the
bright and subtitle performance attitude are the iconic Weld
five-point wheels.
Beautiful bucket seats complete with center console is exactly what
you want when having proper '65 SS tribute. And getting the
performance look right on this dark interior also meant an
investment in new carpeting, door panels, and headliner during
restoration. And as you look deeper, you'll even find features like
the Dynamat insulation and upgraded speakers for the retro-style
AM/FM/cassette stereo with modern Bluetooth. So if this is starting
to sound like the perfect car to share with family and friends,
you're also going to love that they can all stay cool with R134a
air conditioning. And while the interior is nicely upgraded, it
never loses that vintage feeling that comes when you grab the
classic thin steering wheel that gives you a clear view of the
bright dash. And as you notice everything from the tach mounted in
the center to the upgraded auxiliary gauge trio, it lets you know
there's something special under the hood.
This Chevelle was born at the beginning of the small block's
dominance, and so it's great to lift the hood and see such an
impressive powerplant. With the valve covers, upgraded pulleys, air
topper, and even the radiator hose shining so bright, we dare you
to find another component that could be polished. And there's a
good reason why this shining motor looks like it's radiating power
from within the engine bay. It's a 350 cubic inch V8 stroked to
383ci total. Plus, there's added go-fast goodies like a Holley 750
CFM four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, aluminum
heads, MSD ignition, and a growling dual exhaust. It feeds a 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission with 3,000 RPM stall converter to
keep you in the optimal powerband. And this sends power to a stout
12-bolt rear with 3.73 gears and Positraction for proper takeoffs.
But more than just a street machine, it has also been upgraded for
usability with features like the serpentine belt system and a Ron
Davis aluminum radiator with dual electric fans (it'll keep you
cool in traffic even when the A/C is pumping.) Plus, that
transmission also has highway-friendly overdrive. Add in power
steering and power brakes, and this is a distinct classic that's
both powerful and versatile.
Complete with the restoration receipts, this is truly a cut-above
classic that has been built with all the upgrades you would have
done yourself. So the right vintage hardtop that's ready to run
today is an impressive find, and you don't want to miss this deal.
