Used Car of the Day: 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Convertible
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 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.
