For Sale: 1965 Chevrolet Malibu in Collierville, Tennessee

First generation Chevelles are becoming more and more difficult to find in their original condition. But every so often, we get surprised. Art & Speed is pleased to present what we believe to be a unusually nice 1965 Malibu SS Convertible.

This genuine 13867 code convertible appears to have undergone a restoration at some point in its life, but the originality and completeness is remarkable. It would have been so easy to drop a big block or other alternative powerplant, but this car still retains the original configuration as when new. The only modification we can find is that the exterior paint was originally White, but has been changed to a stunning bright red. With remarkably straight body panels and gaps, the body is so beautiful I think I would have done the same!

The original 283 V8 and PowerGlide Automatic are period perfect for this car. The car starts easily, drives smoothly and feels as though it would have when new. Smooth power steering, beautiful upholstery and carpets make for a nice driving environment. And when you want open air, the power convertible top operates smoothly to bring in the fresh air.

Nice glass, excellent chrome and brightwork, high-gloss red finish, they all combine to create a Malibu SS anyone would be proud to own. And this one comes with its original Protecto-Plate and warranty papers. Ready to drive or show, don't miss this chance as cars of this quality and perfect patina don't come along often. Call Art & Speed at 901-850-0507.
