This 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu could almost pass sunny day classic. That is if you dont spot the side exhaustand#44; extra wide rear tiresand#44; and custom bulge in the hood thats hiding the performance built 383 stroker V8. In factand#44; as you look over all the race-ready parts in this hardtopand#44; youll be surprised you can get it all for such an affordable price. This Malibu is all about what you see on the second glance. After alland#44; the first impression is just a nice looking red classic coupe with nice looking brightwork. But then maybe you notice how the hood has a subtle bulge. Or maybe you deiced to take a closer look at the pinstripesand#44; and then realize they are actually little flames running the full-length of the Chevelles body and highlighting the subtle curves. And we even bet youll love the Rally wheelsand#44; so you might also notice that the rear ones have been modified to hold the massive 13x18.5 Hoosier tires. All of this makes for a very cool speed machine that can fly under the radar (as long as no one hears the thunderous side pipes.) Just like the exteriorand#44; the interiors first impression is all about a nice classic. The black vinyl interior carries the premium Malibu trim and patterns. And youll love that this is a bucket seat car with a center console. But then you look at the end of that bright middle strip and you spot the Hurst Quarter Stick... Once againand#44; you realize this is much more than just a cool cruising classic. Youll slip behind the three-spoke wood rimmed steering wheeland#44; which gives you a clear view at the large gauge package in directly in front. Plusand#44; the trio of auxiliary readouts under the dash give you a constant and clear picture of whats going on with the monster in the engine bay. Just in case you were not already sure this Malibu was out for bloodand#44; just lift the hood. The glowing red breather and valve covers against the black engine bay really radiate power. This is a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8 thats be upgraded with a steel crankand#44; TRW dome pistons (11:1)and#44; Camp Cams hydraulic camand#44; HEI distributorand#44; Holley 750 CFM four-barrel carburetorand#44; and Edelbrock Victorand#44; Jr. intake. The V8 exhales through Hedman headers that add power and thunder to the three-inch dual exhaust. Making sure you can use this power to its fullest is a new TH350 three-speed automatic transmission with TCI 3500 RPM stall converter. And thats feeding a stout Ford 9-inch rear end with a 4.11 ratio for power take-offs. Up front is power steering and front disc brakes. And making sure all that rubber says on the road is a ladder bar rear suspension with coilovers. Plusand#44; the rear body has been tubbed to make room for the extra wide wheelsand#44; and so now theres a fuel cell in the trunk along with the battery for better weight distribution. We havent even gone over all the upgrades that make this a serious machine for the street and strip (call for all the details.) But you already know how much it would cost for you to do it all yourselfand#44; and how amazingly affordable this Malibu is. So hurry before someone else looks at the price. Call today!!! |
