AutoHunter Spotlight: 1965 Chevrolet Malibu SS

Share


Currently listed on AutoHunter is this restored 1965 Chevrolet Malibu SS Sport Coupe. As the sportiest and most upscale of Chevelle models, the Malibu SS came standard with bucket seats and console when equipped with Powerglide or four-speed manual. In these early years, the SS could be powered by a six-cylinder or V8, with this one being powered by a 327 V8 paired to a four-speed manual. Other features include American Racing mags, power steering, aftermarket Alpine AM/FM stereo with CD/USB/Bluetooth/SiriusXM, and more. Painted Regal Red with black interior, this Malibu is offered by the selling dealer with a branded title.

The Regal Red hue is complemented by include dual chrome side mirrors, chrome and black rear trim, Malibu SS and 327 engine badges, and chrome exhaust extensions. A set of 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels is wrapped in 225/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A raised white letter tires.

The interior is furnished in black with bucket seats up front. As this is an SS with a Hurst-shifted four-speed manual, this vehicle includes a console. Other features include wood-grain three-spoke steering wheel, power steering, and aftermarket Alpine AM/FM stereo with CD player, and USB, plus it’s SiriusXM- and Bluetooth-capable.

The instrument panel consists of a 120-mph speedometer, 6,000-rpm tachometer, and fuel gauge; aftermarket AutoMeter gauges mounted under the dashboard include oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage. The odometer shows 75,874 miles though the true mileage is unknown.

The replacement Turbo-Fire 327 V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and is backed by an M20 Muncie wide-ratio four-speed. It breathes via a dual exhaust system. Power front disc brakes help make stopping a cinch.

These first iterations (1964-65) of the first-generation Chevelle are quite popular in the hobby, and it’s not hard to see why—they look good, plus they have an infinite supply of available aftermarket equipment. There’s a lot fun to be had with this restored 1965 Chevrolet Malibu SS Sport Coupe as equipped, so don’t be caught snoozing and miss this auction—bid before its conclusion on Friday, May 23, 2025, at 11:15 a.m. (PDT).
