65 Chevelle Malibu SS A sweet old Survivour !!

[@josephmartin5120]

Awesome! I have an all original one! 65 Malibu SS 327/350. The only thing that’s been done is the exhaust. Other than that, original motor, transmission, paint, everything. It’s amazing!

[@1911MikeinOregon]

Hi Chris. I'm the one that commented in the previous video about having trouble hearing you in that video, as well as when you were at Kevin's shop. I just watched this video and the sound was great from start to finish. The little 327 in this Malibu sounds really good LOL... I'm 63 years old, so I've had a fair amount of experience with various 327 engines over the years, both stock and racing, and a lot of people don't give them the credit they deserve. My first car when I was 15 (1976) was a 69 SS Chevelle 396. It was a 4 speed with 4.11 posi. It was a very strong running car, but in all honesty, I love the sound of a nice small block when it's wound up, and the sound of the Malibu when you were working it a little reminded me of that. Of course a sound that really makes me smile is a 67-69 302 when it's turning 6,000+ rpm. It's been a few years since the last time I drove a 69 Z-28 but I can still remember the entire trip from start to finish, and exactly where I really made that car work. Ironically I can't remember what I had for dinner two days ago LOL.

[@terrystewart2070]

A guy I knew in high school had a red 65 Malibu SS (all white interior). He never raced anyone, and a lot of us assumed with the 327 it wasn't fast (I don't know which 327, but it was a 4 speed), but I rode with him to a nearby town (22 miles) as a back seat passenger, and I was scared sh*tless for a bunch of that ride...that little car was wicked fast!

[@robertmoffett3486]

There were lots of fast 327s. My brother in law's 67 Malibu handily beat my neighbor's 400 Gran Sport more than once. My nephew got that motor from the junkyard about '92, and as a professionally built 350, powered his very quick Nova for many years. It was a lot faster than his Roadrunner

[@61rampy65]

@@robertmoffett3486 Agreed on the 327s. When I was 17, I had a 68 390 4 speed Mustang GT, and a guy in a 68 Camaro outran me. I asked him what he had in it, thinking it was a 396. He said it was a 327. I said BS. He offered to let me look under the hood, but why bother? SBCs all look alike. Gained a lot of respect for 327s after that.

That's a sweet ride. I had a 65' Malibu that I bought from a shipmate in San Diego back in the early 80's for $450. It wasn't an SS I don't believe but it was a LAGIT driver. In the time I owned it I drove it several times from San Diego to Eastern Washington State and it did Great. It had a 283 ci and a Borg-Warner T 10 4 speed. It wasn't a "muscle car" but it was fun to ride in. It was a wagon, too. As I said I bought it in San Diego and it was DEFINITELY a California car. While driving it back home in Washington State in November I found out that the heater blower motor was unplugged and it was COLD so I used one of my old wool blankets across my lap. I also had to put some cardboard in front of the radiator just to try to keep heat in it. 😂 After I got home I checked it out and found the wire disconnected from the heater fan motor and had heat the rest of the time I owned it. LOL. Unfortunately it was stolen in the late 80's and I miss that darn old beast. Love the SS you drove in the video. Thanks for bringing back some GREAT memories, too.

Reminds me in the early 80's when a guy I worked with asked me to give him a ride to look at a 64 Nova SS convertible. I just moved to southern California and and was happy for an excuse to explore the area. We were driving through orange groves near Colton California. It was wild, it was my first time seeing oranges on the trees. It was a beautiful white car with red interior. It had a 6 cylinder with a three on the tree. Just a really nice car, not a muscle car but a really good driver. He bought it for cheap... It was less than $2,000 dollars. Thank you for the video I appreciate you!

Great example of a driver car, nice but too nice. I love the early chevelles, 66 is the best imo for the inset rear window. Also, that poor steering wheel is flopping around like an abused bicycle tire lol.

[@googleusergp]

As noted by others, the VIN would have determined if it's a real SS. If you had "37" as the 2nd and 3rd VIN digits, you have a six cylinder SS. If you have a "38" for the 2nd and 3rd VIN digits, you have a V8 equipped SS. The cowl tag would have also told us a lot including what the original paint color was.

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

I try not not to get into whether these SS cars are real, there's just so much conflicting information and opinions out there.

[@googleusergp]

Nice. My first car (it was actually my dads, he gave it to me when I turned 16 in 1975, and became the family driver) was a 1963 Nova SS two door hardtop. It was a real SS, but believe it or not, the 1963 Nova SS was NOT available with a V8. It had a straight six with a Powerglide. It was only 10 years old when he bought it in 1973. Original rust free AZ car. I've had several cars that would be worth a lot today, but were not considered anything special back then.

[@billywird]

Yes, sir a friend of mine received as a graduation present (his class was 1969) a 1964 Chevy II white with red interior and it was a six with a powerglide transmission. All of these cars were just vehicles that the manufacturers marketed to sell cars and really none of them were real special back then but now that they are getting harder to find and of course people are willing to pay more for them now than what they originally sold for (talk about inflation)

Other than the passenger door, I didn't notice any other green paint.

[@billywird]

Yes that yellow came from GM in different descriptions, My grandfather gave a 56 Chevrolet to my dad for us kids (I glommed right on to it as mine) to drive. It was original that turquoise color (150 2dr sedan). The paint was in pretty bad shape, my dad chose a Pontiac color (Granada Gold he said). It was a yellow like this color (I wanted another color didn't want yellow). After he sprayed this thing and we polished all the trim and reinstalled it (only thing we had to mask off were the front windshield and the back glass). Later on I got a set of Keystone custom mag wheels and with that it looked sharp. Friend of mine had a 67 Chevy II and he had those chrome Cragar wheels. Yes that shifter is a Muncie shifter that came with those cars (all of the 4spd models) and it bolts separate to the transmission cross member and of course for hard shifting didn't do so hot so it generally got replaced with the Hurst shifter. Thats' a decent little hot rod so to speak and I hope to see it again on your channel.

[@douglasatkinson2476]

If the first 3 digits of the serial number start with 138 its an SS. It's the car I have. Crocus yellow.... sweet ride

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

I read that the 2 L's in the vin denote SS 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@googleusergp]

@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 Not correct. The only letter in a 1965 Chevrolet VIN number is the assembly plant code. You possibly meant "L" on the cowl tag (under the hood) which for some plants was believed to denoted SS. The other poster is correct, the "38" as the 2nd and 3rd VIN digits would denote a true SS V8 in 1965. Also, if it had "37" as the 2nd and 3rd digits, it's still an SS, but a six cylinder SS. The "SS" package was a trim package and was available in the six and eight cylinder models in 1965.

[@googleusergp]

Partially correct. "38" denotes a V8 equipped SS in 1965. You could also have a "37" and it would still be an SS, but a six cylinder equipped one.

Chevy seemed to like crocus yellow a lot. It was used often in ads, including a two page one in Hot Rod Magazine, featuring all GM muscle cars

[@billywird]

Yes that yellow was featured on a number of GM products and called different names. We had a 57 Pontiac Chieftan that was black with that yellow for the roof and the side trim. Whacky huh?. My Dad repainted the car first a green with white top (green was a Dodge color) my sister had a crash where the right rear quarter panel was damaged and Dad replaced the panel (with one from JC Whitney) bought another junk 57 for ten dollars for all of the tailight assembly and damaged trim (of course I got the radio out of it) and repainted the car a British Racing Green with the white top and side trim. Car looked sharp I tell you.

A friend of mine had a 64 Chevelle 4dr job that came original with the 194 six cylinder engine and three on the tree (I believe he got it from his mother who bought it new) Well he did the usual hot rodding stuff for the time, put a V8 and 4spd in it and a set of Keystone classics. It was that minty green color. The engine was a thumper engine (that's what we called one that was cammed up somewhat) and he used it for a 69 Camaro he was doing. I sold him a 283 that came out of a 64 Chevelle that had been wrecked and he updated the brakes from a 71 Chevelle station wagon (drum and disc). The car was actually a solid car and the kicker is he took the back set out and had already put in buckets so when he went over to the Home Depot to get PVC pipe he could open the trunk and slide the pipe into the car and close the trunk. People would look at this guy sort of funny when he would go out and do that.

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

My first car was a 1965 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS. I graduated from high school in 1976 in Southern California. And those wiper knobs are not a California thing at least not where I lived. And for that to be a for real SS the vin has got to start with the numbers 138. I still have the vin. number to my car. And there are no letters in it at all only numbers. It's really easy to fake an SS. I'm not saying that this is a fake but they aren't hard to do. I bought mine off of a Kmart parking lot on the side was where they did their auto repair. My car was completely original and I was the third owner. I paid $675.00 for it. I've never heard about the L L thing on a SS just the 138 numbers.
