1965 Chevrolet Malibu

* $49,995 * Cruisin Classics is excited to present to you this gorgeous 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible. In the last four years, over $30K was spent to take this already nice car to another level - and it shows everywhere you look! Before the current work, this beautiful Chevy was already treated to a coat of slick red paint, new chrome, new carpet and interior, a new top, and a front disc brake conversion. Some highlights of the recent upgrades include a new 350ci V-8 Crate Engine with chrome dress-up kit, full exhaust with headers, a new tilt column, a power steering conversion, and rear air shocks - just to name a few. Let's take a deeper dive into this great-looking '65 Malibu ... Originally an Ermine White car with a White top and Medium Blue interior, this Chevy now wears a lustrous coat of red paint in high driver quality condition, contrasted by a crisp white top and accompanied by a fresh red interior. Up front, you'll find a bright horizontal grille with dual side-by-side round headlights and a colorful Chevy badge at the center with a gleaming chrome bumper beneath. Brightwork continues with window trim, wiper arms, wheel lip molding, dual side mirrors, antenna, and door handles. Both sides of the car wear 350 cross-flags fender badges and Malibu Chevelle rear quarter badges - all in excellent condition. The manually operated white convertible top is free of any stains or tears, and it features a clear plastic rear window in good condition. A custom-made red vinyl boot cover comes with the car to cover the top when it's in the down position, and it looks fantastic. The side view is further enhanced by a set of 5-spoke Ridler wheels all wrapped in white-letter BF Goodrich tires, a perfect choice for this ride. Around back is brighter trim that surrounds the taillights and lower decklid with CHEVROLET lettering, another chrome bumper, a hidden gas fill behind the license plate, and dual chrome elliptical exhaust tips. Lift the big red hood to reveal a clean and organized engine bay that you'd be proud to show off at any car show. Originally a 327ci car, this Malibu now boasts a fresh orange GM Crate 350ci V-8 with only 452 miles on it since it was installed in 2022. The engine is topped off with a Kelley Contender intake manifold, an Edelbrock AVS2 4-barrel carburetor, chrome valve covers emblazoned with bowtie logos and Chevrolet, and a chrome Chevrolet air cleaner with 350 TurboFire 300hp decals. The excitement doesn't end there, though. Other highlights include a chrome alternator, chrome timing cover, an electric choke, a chrome radiator overflow cannister, power steering, a new water pump, a new starter, and black front show panels with an engraved bowtie logo and '65 Malibu. The V-8 is mated up to a 2-speed Powerglide transmission that sends power to the pavement via a 10-bolt rear axle. Exhaust flows through Headmann headers, new mufflers, and new pipes to exit the rear with a subtle rumble that's sure to put a smile on your face. Stopping power comes courtesy of power front discs and rear drums with a new master cylinder. When you open the driver's door, courtesy lights come on to illuminate a luxurious red interior with some custom touches added to the original flair. The door panels look OEM correct with red vinyl and bright trim. The seats are as comfortable as they are attractive - dressed in flawless red vinyl, with buckets up front and a bench in the rear. The front seats have chrome trim on the outside edge that adds to the classy look. Between the front buckets is a custom center console that's covered in red vinyl and offers an armrest/storage box, 2 cupholders, 2 speakers, and a Hurst pistol-grip quarter-stick shifter. Where the console rises to meet the dash, there are a trio of under-dash mounted Autogage gauges with chrome surround (water, volt, oil). Ahead of the driver is an aftermarket 3-spoke wood-ringed steering wheel on a new tilt column. Behind the wheel is a slick
