It's not just that this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu has a
distinct two-tone appearance. As you dig deeper, you'll see a
performance stroker motor and four-on-the-floor to take advantage
of it all. There are even the right recent investments for an
all-around solid driver. So keep reading, because as you find out
about more details, this coupe only gets better.
There's a distinct custom style to this hardtop. The Neptune Blue
upper section was added only within the last few years. It has a
cool color shift between blue and green, depending on how the
sunlight hits the metallic finish. The custom gray and red stripe
package does an excellent job of cleanly separating the lower white
section for an attractive two-tone. You have good body lines and
bright chrome for a look of quality that lets you drive this with
pride. So it's the perfect car for taking out on the weekends,
where you know you'll get appreciative nods at the stoplights.
Plus, those 17-inch US Mags wheels on the lowered suspension give
this a sporty stance that hints about unleashed performance when
the light turns green.
The interior gives you more of the cool style with even more
vintage vibes. Two rows of wide benches have plenty of room for
everyone, and the pattern on the seats coordinates with the door
panels. This classic is made to hit the road, so you've got the
best driver upgrades. This includes a dual-spoke Chevy sports
steering wheel on a tilt column, an auxiliary gauge trio, a newer
tach, and a Hurst shifter. And there's even an upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo hidden away in the glove box for the best in driving
music.
This Chevelle was born at the beginning of the small block's
dominance, so lifting the hood and seeing a tidy and impressive
powerplant is great. While you still have small-block
responsiveness, this V8 maximizes your displacement and power. It's
said to be a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8, and it certainly has the
muscular feel of one. It has added go-fast goodies like a Summit
four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake, an Accel HEI
distributor, and long tube headers. That last feature adds power
and contributes to the sweet rumble from the H-pipe dual exhaust.
When you have a serious V8 like this, it's great to have a
four-speed manual transmission and a newer clutch to give you
confident control over the power and high-octane soundtrack. Plus,
the maintenance records show thousands $$$$ recently invested in
new bushings and body mounts to feel like a solid driver. This
Malibu has great any-time enjoyment features like power steering,
modern sport tires, power brakes, front discs, a rear sway bar, and
newer shocks.
This classic cruiser has a distinctive style and a mighty heart.
