Equipment
283/220hp, 4-speed, wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, 3.73 Positraction, tachometer, front disc brakes, buckets and console, later Kenwood cassette stereo.
Condition
Represented as matching numbers. Tidy and restored but not spotless engine bay. Touch up on the right front fender and a few more below the windshield but mostly good paint. Factory gaps. Very good chrome. Very good mostly restored interior. CA black plate car. Tidy restored underbody. A sound but not perfect older restoration of a somewhat seldom seen '65 Malibu SS.
Market commentary
Offered by Mecum in Denver two months ago and in Harrisburg a months after that, both time reportedly bid to $26,000. The consignor tired of giving it rides to no avail by the time it got to Dallas and took the money on offer, a reasonable decision but a good value for the new owner in an unusually equipped Malibu.
