1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Hardtop Coupe – Restomod Muscle, Built to Drive and Enjoy

This stunning 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Hardtop Coupe is a head-turning restomod that combines classic muscle car styling with modern performance and reliability. Fresh off a frame-off restoration, this Chevelle is not a trailer queen—it was built to be driven, enjoyed, and admired. Finished in custom Audi gray paint that sets it apart from the crowd, this car delivers both show-winning presence and street-ready performance.

Power & Performance Under the hood, you’ll find a professionally rebuilt 383 Stroker V8, fed by a Holley Sniper EFI system for modern throttle response, power, and dependability. The engine is paired with a 700R4 automatic transmission, offering overdrive for highway cruising and smooth shifting through every gear. A dual electric fan radiator keeps temperatures in check, even in summer heat, and a custom-made exhaust system lets the engine breathe freely with a growl that’s aggressive without being overbearing.

Drivability & Upgrades Built to be driven, this Chevelle features:

• Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes with matching Wilwood master cylinder for confident stopping power
• Vintage Air A/C system (ice cold and recently installed)
• Motion Race Works shifter (installed in 2023) for precise control
• New Optima battery for dependable starts every time
• Dakota Digital gauges (2023) for modern, easy-to-read instrumentation
• Upgraded LED lighting throughout the car for safety and visibility
• New American Racing forged aluminum rims (2023 staggered fitment) wrapped in Nitto 555 summer performance tires with fewer than 300 miles
  
  Interior & Comfort Inside, this Chevelle features a custom TMI interior that blends comfort and style seamlessly. From the sculpted seats to the fine detailing, the cabin is a clean and stylish environment for both short trips and weekend cruises. A Bluetooth-compatible classic-style radio is paired with a Kicker sound system, giving you the best of both worlds—vintage looks with modern audio performance.
  
  Condition This car runs, drives, and sounds fantastic—snappy, responsive, and road-ready. It's won multiple awards at local shows and always draws attention wherever it goes. It’s not a numbers-matching museum piece or a $150,000 trailer-bound resto-mod. It is a beautifully built, thoughtfully upgraded, and seriously fun Chevelle that’s meant to be out on the road.
  
  Known Flaws (Transparency Matters):
• Small paint chip (size of a pencil eraser) on the passenger rear quarter panel. Extra paint samples are included for an easy fix.
• Minor cosmetic road rash on the driver-side rear wheel. The rim is not bent—purely cosmetic.
  
  If you're looking for a cool, clean, and quick 1965 Chevelle with modern upgrades, killer looks, and attitude to match—without paying six-figure magazine cover car prices—this is your chance. It’s a badass, honest muscle car that’s ready to be driven, enjoyed, and shown off wherever you go.
