This listing is for a 1965 Chevelle Malibu 2dr coupe. This a two long term owner vehicle. The vehicle was ordered from a Philadelphia area Chevrolet dealer 'Farmer' Dick Barone in August 1964. The car has a very unusual array of extra cost options which include...Remote control rear view mirror, Tilt steering column, Padded dashpad, Front and rear bumper guards, Rear seat speaker, Deluxe seat belts w/retractors and Tri-note horn. More common options include...Power steering,Powerglide auto trans, AM radio, 2 speed wiper and front/rear floor mats. Under the hood is a non matching numbers strong running 1966 283 V8 with approximately 67K miles on it and also happens to be a California smog motor. The motor runs very good,but some of the valve seals are starting to get dried up causing some oil consumption. Currently getting around 20 MPG on the highway. The transmission is working very well and is also non original,but is actually from another '65 Chevelle. The original 10 bolt rear axle was recently removed and upgraded with a low mileage 12 bolt rear original from a '65 Chevelle with 3:31 ratio(non posi). This car is street driven daily and has been since I have owned it the last ten years. Mechanically it is very good and has been dependable thanks to all aspects of maintainence. Has newer tires,brakes,front suspension parts, dual exhaust,U-joints, radiator,heater core and the usual under hood items. The car is in desperate need of body work to correct rust issues which includes the floor, trunk pan and the gas tank mounting braces. The frame is showing surface rust in various places but is overall very solid thanks to some service that was done to it by the first owner. The 51 year old interior is also in desperate need of restoring and is showing it's age. Hopefully the next owner can restore the car before it gets any worse or older. Thanks for looking and I look forward to hearing from you !
