Vehicle Description
A true original 138-code 1965 Malibu SS, professionally crafted by
MINT Restorations six years ago. The silver metallic paint
amplifies the muscle car profile, while the distinct wheel
configuration - 18-inch Intro wheels up front paired with
substantial 20-inch variants in the rear, fitted with performance
Michelin rubber (215/45ZR18 front, 295/40R20 rear). Modern touches
include electronic door locks, maintaining the clean lines while
preserving the authentic Malibu SS badging.
The red leather interior displays masterful craftsmanship
throughout. Custom bucket seats and matching door panels maintain
continuity, while the billet-trimmed center console anchors the
cabin's design. Dakota Digital gauges provide essential
information, and a strategically hidden Alpine Bluetooth stereo
system blends modern technology. A C3 Corvette tilt column offers
optimal control positioning.
A modified 1999-sourced 6.0L LQ9 V8 features performance upgrades
including LS3 heads and intake manifold. The 4L70E automatic
transmission channels power to a GM 10-bolt rear end. Performance
suspension includes tubular A-arms and adjustable coilovers up
front, complemented by a 4-link rear layout with matching
adjustable coilovers. Hedman long tubes connect to a MagnaFlow dual
exhaust system. Electronic power disc brakes with slotted and
drilled rotors deliver excellent stopping power.
