Vehicle Description
This 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu could almost pass sunny day
classic. That is if you don't spot the side exhaust, extra wide
rear tires, and custom bulge in the hood that's hiding the
performance built 383 stroker V8. In fact, as you look over all the
race-ready parts in this hardtop, you'll be surprised you can get
it all for such an affordable price.
This Malibu is all about what you see on the second glance. After
all, the first impression is just a nice looking red classic coupe
with nice looking brightwork. But then maybe you notice how the
hood has a subtle bulge. Or maybe you deiced to take a closer look
at the pinstripes, and then realize they are actually little flames
running the full-length of the Chevelle's body and highlighting the
subtle curves. And we even bet you'll love the Rally wheels, so you
might also notice that the rear ones have been modified to hold the
massive 13x18.5 Hoosier tires. All of this makes for a very cool
speed machine that can fly under the radar (as long as no one hears
the thunderous side pipes.)
Just like the exterior, the interior's first impression is all
about a nice classic. The black vinyl interior carries the premium
Malibu trim and patterns. And you'll love that this is a bucket
seat car with a center console. But then you look at the end of
that bright middle strip and you spot the Hurst Quarter Stick...
Once again, you realize this is much more than just a cool cruising
classic. You'll slip behind the three-spoke wood rimmed steering
wheel, which gives you a clear view at the large gauge package in
directly in front. Plus, the trio of auxiliary readouts under the
dash give you a constant and clear picture of what's going on with
the monster in the engine bay.
Just in case you were not already sure this Malibu was out for
blood, just lift the hood. The glowing red breather and valve
covers against the black engine bay really radiate power. This is a
383 cubic-inch stroker V8 that's be upgraded with a steel crank,
TRW dome pistons (11:1), Camp Cams hydraulic cam, HEI distributor,
Holley 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor, and Edelbrock Victor, Jr.
intake. The V8 exhales through Hedman headers that add power and
thunder to the three-inch dual exhaust. Making sure you can use
this power to its fullest is a new TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission with TCI 3500 RPM stall converter. And that's feeding
a stout Ford 9-inch rear end with a 4.11 ratio for power take-offs.
Up front is power steering and front disc brakes. And making sure
all that rubber says on the road is a ladder bar rear suspension
with coilovers. Plus, the rear body has been tubbed to make room
for the extra wide wheels, and so now there's a fuel cell in the
trunk along with the battery for better weight distribution.
We haven't even gone over all the upgrades that make this a serious
machine for the street and strip (call for all the details.) But
you already know how much it would cost for you to do it all
yourself, and how amazingly affordable this Malibu is. So hurry
before someone else looks at the price. Call today!!!
