Details

This 1965 Chevrolet Malibu SS spent almost the entirety of its 50 years with the original buyer’s family until it was sold to the current owner in 2015. Before it was sold, it was subject to an extensive professional restoration performed over several years. The preparatory body work was completed in 2008, and the final assembly was completed in 2014. It is finished in Crocus Yellow base coat/clear coat paint with black interior. Its original matching-numbers L79 327ci small-block V8 has been rebuilt and comes complete with original Holley 4-barrel carburetor, rechromed dual-snorkel air cleaner and new chromed valve covers. A new pressure plate and clutch are backed by the original 4-speed manual transmission and 12-bolt rear end, which was also rebuilt during restoration. The Super Sport interior includes Stratobucket seats, center console, original window wings and frames, steering wheel, shifter and gauge cluster - all refreshed to like-new condition. It is completed with Super Sport wheel covers and period-correct Silvertown tires. This carefully restored Malibu SS has 44,590 original miles (mileage not indicated on the title). It is documented with the original Tennessee registration and comes with owner’s manual, leather key holder and Protect-O-Plate.
