We've featured a few classic Ford Galaxies in this space recently, and today it's Chevrolet's turn for a classic. A 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Convertible gets the spotlight.

This one has 80,000 original miles on the clock and has the 283 cubic-inch engine that makes 195 horsepower. The carb has been replaced and the transmission is original but rebuilt.

Similarly, the car seems to be well-maintained and fairly close to the original, though with some cosmetic issues. The car was repainted in 1989.

The seller wants $50K with a $5,000 non-refundable deposit from any buyer who isn't local to Corona, California.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

No comments on the 283 cid engine? Although certainly not the most powerful or prestigious engine offered by Chev, it did have a reputation for durability.

Tassos We, not Porsche, will be the judge of that.
Tassos Yeah, right, that's the ticket.a 22 year old worthless piece of crap painted in Fire Engine Red (Or is it Clown red) , with at least 153,000 miles on it, masquerading as a "used car".Some moron here will soon repeat that this is a good car to get for his teen daughter, just because the stupid girl likes the styling and the "image" of a POS Golf better than the COROLLA or CIVIC she should get instead. I would not get this EVEN if it was a LEXUS of same age, miles and price.Remember the "separation theorem"?"A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED".And it is not as if Tim never proposed some POS VW, almost one in every two of his worthless finds are that DAMNED automaker. AND those who call it damned are ITS OWNERS. Like "My Damned GTI broke down again"...Hey, maybe that loser the PHONY Tassos (yoiu know the loser, the clown who likes Kias and Idiot Joe Biden) will buy it for his 'most likely to conceive" daughter.
Jeffrey Apple music and Podcasts if not listening to NPR.
Theflyersfan Amazon Music HD through Android Auto. It builds a bunch of playlists and I pick one and drive. Found a bunch of new music that way. I can't listen to terrestrial radio any longer. Ever since (mainly) ClearChannel/iHeartMedia gobbled up thousands of stations, it all sounds the same. And there's a Sirius/XM subscription that I pay $18/month for but barely use because actually being successful in canceling it is an accomplishment that deserves a medal.
