Chevrolet Malibu 283 V8 1965

Description
This 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS has the great hardtop look of a true icon. As you dig deeper, you'll see a proper small block heart upgraded to fuel injection. It makes for the real-deal Super Sport classic with a bit more everyday appeal.
The Chevelle's design was still fresh on the scene in '65. It represented the new edge style of the 1960s, especially the flared rear quarter panels that are one of the car's defining features. And Chevelle fans know that Malibu Super Sport was the top of the trim Chevelle with cleaner body lines. The Danube Blue paint is great to see because it's factory-correct for this coupe, and at the same time, this classic hue has a modern appeal. As you look over the whole hardtop, there's a sense this car is meant to be enjoyed. It's complete, right down to the rocker trim, and yet nothing is too fancy that will make you nervous to drive it. And the upgraded wheels give you some nice shine while also letting you fit modern performance tires.
The sea of blue continues inside with the full factory-correct color combo. The two-tone seats, clean door panels, smooth dash, and darker carpet (harder to show dirt) makes for a vintage and thoughtful package. Bucket seats with a center console in-between are a staple of these SS cars. So this one really has a correct and classic look. But because this is done to be a driver's car, you also have the right well-placed easy cruiser upgrades, like the tinted windows and a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner.
This coupe was born in the era when Chevy's small block V8 was just finding its performance upgrade roots. And while you could get some nice upgrades for them back then, it never approached what's on this one today. The 283 cubic-inch V8 is now topped with a FiTech fuel injection system and Edelbrock intake. It creates a solid powerhouse that start easily, idles smoothly, and makes a nice tune out of the dual exhaust. And as a true driver's classic, this one was built to cruise with features like a Powerglide automatic transmission, power steering, and the grip of modern ZR-rated tires.
This is a nice classic that even comes complete with the original bill of sale and the replaced carbureted fuel system. This is the ideal real SS that loves to hit the road. So if you want a classic to drive, you can't let this one slip away. Call now!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
