This is a 1965 Chevrolet, Chevelle, Malibu Super Sport (SS) two door hard top. Came stock with bucket seats, SS trim, 283 V8 and Muncie 4 speed tranny. Interior has been replaced with factory original covers and is still in good condition except for carpet which could use replacing.

Upgrades include disc brakes from 1970 model SS (there were no disc brakes available for this model/year), Wheels are American Racing "Torque Thrust D's", a very popular option in mid sixties. Engine was upgraded to a type popular for this car, a 383 stroker. Block is a 1977 350 CI, 4 bolt mains. This run of blocks had the molybdenum alloy which was known for strength and wear advantages. The crank is from a 400 small block, cast. The motor was done by Ed Hale, a very respected name in California. The heads are L98 corvette, alloy with 58 CC chambers, stock valve sizes. Cam is mild Isky with roller rockers. Intake manifold is a one off short track racing, torque maker. Carbie is Holly 650 DP. Ignition is MSD. Exhaust manifolds are cast iron stock type. Not the ram horn style. This motor is low RPM, redline 5500. Makes good power right from 1000 RPM. The engine is in very good condition. All bores are good with consistant and high compression. Oil pressure unchanged since build. Has a rear stabiliser bar which is a real benefit to the handling. Converted to right hand drive in 1995 with compliance plate and RW.

Diff is posi traction with clutches, 3:08 gears. These are photos taken in 07. The body of the car is straight and clean, no rust. Current paint is acrylic and this is the original colour.

 

Spares.. new power brake and master cylinder, rebuildable muncie box, headlight bezels and wheel well "eye brows", spare carter 625 cfm carbie and other stuff I forget. Boot/trunk looks near new.

Overall condition is good but ready for work if wanted to be show clean. Has been a driver so chips in paint from rocks and dickheads. If kept, I would cut the lot back, make repairs and spray with clear polyurethane two pack.

The car is very very fun to drive. Has been in family since 1981.
