Vehicle Description
It's not just that this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible
has a terrific factory all-red look. As you dig deeper, you'll see
an upgraded interior, a performance V8 motor, and five speed that
gives you an extra gear to really take advantage of it all. So keep
reading, because as you find out about more details, this
convertible only gets better.
The Chevelle's design was still fresh on the scene in '65. It
represented the new edge style of the 1960s, especially the flared
rear quarter panels that are one of the car's defining features.
And the trim line that runs the full length of the car showcases
the Malibu's premium spirit. The factory-correct Regal Red has the
kind of gloss and shine from a solid investment. So it's going to
radiate in the sunlight exactly how you want a sunshine-friendly
convertible to do. Plus, there has been more investment in great
details work like the wide chrome bumpers with a mirror-like shine,
new black convertible top, and bright American Racing Torq Thrust
wheels.
As good as this looks with the top in place, a car like this was
meant to be open to the world. So with the flip of a switch, the
top power down to reveal the awesome two-tone red interior. And
with the taut convertible boot in place, this one has an absolutely
awesome multi-tone full red appearance that almost looks European.
There are some great vintage touches like the bright dash and the
AM radio that's still on display. But what you'll really love are
all the well-integrated upgrades. For example, the seat is now
finished in fresh vinyl and it power adjusts to your ideal
position. The Lecarra wood-rimmed steering wheel is on a tilt
column, and there are plenty of upgraded readouts, like the
auxiliary gauge trio under the dash and large tach prominently on
the steering column. That last one goes particularly well with the
Hurst shifter... and have you counted the gears on it yet?
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. There's fresh wires, belts, and a bright
block. They even added an aluminum radiator. It's a 327 cubic-inch
V8, which is the correct displacement when you wanted the hot small
block '65. But if you look closer, they packed this one with
go-fast upgrades, like a Holley dual-feed four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, and Hedman long tube headers that
add power and rumble to the 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, and a stout 12 bolt rear with boxed control
arms. And more than just all-out speed, this Malibu has great any
time driving features like upgraded bushings, power steering, and
power brakes w/discs up front.
This is the cool droptop with the right presentation and speedy
upgrades you want. So don't let a total package classic go into
someone else's garage. Call today!!!
