This 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is a two-door Sport Coupe finished in Artesian Turquoise over a matching interior and powered by a 283ci V8 paired with a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Equipment includes 14″ steel wheels, chrome bumpers and trim, a split front bench seat, and a Delco AM radio. The car was acquired by the seller in 2006, and recent service consisted of changing the oil and replacing the heater core, fuel pump, ignition components, and tires. This Malibu Sport Coupe is now offered with partial service records and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The two-door body is finished in Artesian Turquoise (KK), and equipment includes chrome bumpers and trim, quad front headlights, retractable rear quarter windows, and a driver’s mirror. A paint blemish on the trunk lid is shown up close in the gallery below, along with dings in the trim and body panels.
Steel 14″ wheels with bowtie-logo covers were recently wrapped in Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums.
The bench seats are upholstered in Medium Turquoise vinyl with Ramada patterned inserts, and the cabin features a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Additional equipment includes lap belts, a heater, and a Delco AM radio. Wear is noted on the dashboard, door panels, carpets, and top of the rear seats.
The two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer indicates 38k miles, about 600 of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 283ci V8 features an orange block and painted valve covers. Service over the past year reportedly consisted of replacing the heater core, fuel pump, spark plugs and wires, contact points, rotor, condenser, and distributor cap, along with performing an oil change.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Additional photos of the underbody are included in the gallery.
