The 1965 Chevrolet Malibu SS came from an important period in Chevrolet performance, combining clean midsize styling with the bucket-seat personality of the Super Sport package. This handsome Malibu SS wears Mist Blue Metallic over a Medium Blue two-tone interior and pairs its classic appearance with a date-code-correct 283 V8, factory air conditioning, and tasteful suspension changes.
Under the hood is a date-code-correct 283 cubic-inch V8 producing 220 horsepower, backed by a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes make this Chevy Malibu an easygoing cruiser, and a GM 10-bolt rear end with 3.36:1 limited-slip gears provides a good balance for relaxed road use. Front coilovers and rear Eibach lowering springs give the car a slightly more aggressive stance.
The Mist Blue Metallic exterior is complemented by tinted glass and 17-inch American Racing-style five-spoke REV wheels. It's a clean combination that keeps this classic Chevrolet recognizable while adding a subtle custom touch.
Inside, Medium Blue two-tone bucket seats, a center console, and floor shifter give the cabin the sporty feel expected from a Super Sport. The Delco AM radio maintains the period appearance, while factory air conditioning is an especially welcome option for summer cruising.
For enthusiasts searching for a Chevy Malibu for sale, or something distinctive among Chevrolet muscle cars, this 1965 SS offers plenty to appreciate. With its date-code-correct small block, factory air, handsome color combination, and comfortable road manners, this classic Chevy is ready for an afternoon cruise or a prime spot at the local car show.
