For Sale: 1965 Chevrolet Malibu in Mesa, Arizona

It's not just that this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS has a terrific classic hardtop appearance. As you dig deeper, you'll see a stellar A/C interior, power windows, great paperwork, and a well-presented small block. It makes for the kind of classic that's fun to take for a drive and show off the details.


The '65 Chevelle hardtop is an iconic classic. It took the pillarless hardtop coupe look that we fell in love with in the 1950s, and put it on a well-creased body that was pointing the way for the flared fender muscle cars of the late 1960s. This was born in a timeless Ermine White color, and a proper respray gives a good gloss in the sunshine. But the overall finish will never make you nervous to take it out for some fun. And as you keep looking at the details, you can see it's really meant to be an ideal Sunday driver. Good lines, nice chrome bumpers, ribbed rocker trim, fender callouts, and more are all part of a detailed classic. And the Rally wheels have the exact right look for the kind of SS that would help launch the muscle car era.


Inside is a tasteful two-tone blue, and the trim tag says this is carrying the factory-correct color combo. Everywhere from the carpeting to the door panels have the quality look of a more recent investment. Even classic details like AM radio and dome lights are working. And we especially like two features you rarely see on a car from this era: cold-blowing air conditioning and power windows. It means you can take down all the side glass and show off the pillarless hardtop profile without leaving the driver's seat. And you can do it on a hot summer night while still staying cool. Bucket seats complete with a center console is exactly what you want on a proper '65 Super Sport. And because this is a true cruiser, the auxiliary gauge trio under the dash keeps you updated on what's happening under the hood.


Under the hood is a 283 cubic-inch V8. It has a tidy look and added flair from the finned valve covers and matching air grabber. And true vintage fans will take note of everything from the GM branded hoses to the correct washer refill bottle. And because this is a driver's classic, there's also the right added pep from a four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock aluminum intake. It's a smooth-running classic that's ready to hit the road. That's why you also have good driving features like a Powerglide automatic transmission (rebuilt in 2015), power steering, power brakes, and wide BF Goodrich T/As for a solid cruiser you can enjoy any time.


The sale comes complete with good paperwork, including title documentation, the original warranty card, owner's manual, maintenance records, and a reproduction buildsheet. This is a great Super Sport with factory-correct colors, vintage style, and the right investments. It's a total package cruiser that you need to get your hand on right now. Call today!!!
